A Pain-Free Whitening System That Saves You a Trip to the Dentist The Gadget: Ionic Pearl Brilliant White Ionic Teeth Whitening System, $195
What It Is:
This at-home teeth whitening device works similarly to the fluoride treatments you get at the dentist's office. Simply squeeze in a tube of the whitening gel, press the activator button on the device (which conveniently times your five-minute application) and place the device in your mouth. The recommended use is five minutes a day, twice a day for five days, with touchups every three months.
What You'll Get:
I have sensitive teeth, so while I do want a whiter smile, I'm not always game to forgo the pain that comes with consuming ice cream and coffee in the weeks after a treatment. With this treatment I didn't feel any increased sensitivity, and I truly noticed a difference after my first five-minute application. With whitening strips I've used in the past, I felt like I had to finish a whole box before I could see some whitening actually happening.
What You'll Save: $400
An in-office teeth whitening treatment can cost upwards of $600, and they aren't permanent solutions either.
