There are many over-the-counter teeth whitening options, and one type of readily accessible whitening products is commonly referred to as a paint-on teeth whitener. Paint-on whiteners can be purchased over-the-counter and generally are less expensive and less effective than whitening strips or professional options.

Paint-on teeth whiteners consist of a gel that is applied to the tooth using a small brush.

Paint-on whitening gel hardens into a film that coats the teeth, and dissolves in the mouth.

As with any teeth-whitening regimen, it is wise to consult with a dental professional before use. Teeth-whitening strips are thin, flexible plastic (polyethylene) strips with a thin film of hydrogen peroxide on one side.

Whitening strip kits come with two types of strips: strips for the upper teeth and strips for the lower teeth.
