Best Way to Whiten Teeth Fast (and Cheaply)
Best Way to Whiten Teeth Fast (and Cheaply) How it works: While whitening strips don't provide any kind of barrier between your saliva and the active ingredient, over-the-counter whitening trays do. "For that reason, you might see results quicker," says Deutch. "As long as you stick with it."

With over-the-counter whitening kits like this, you receive a pre-made tray, which you fill with hydrogen peroxide gel and fit around your top teeth like a mouth guard. The tray surrounds your teeth, unlike strips, which simply sit on top. The tray is not custom, so it might not fit perfectly in your mouth or feel as comfortable as the strips, but you will likely see more immediate results.

What to use: We recommend the Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening System, $10.90, available at drugstores. Squeeze the included whitening gel into the tray, place it in your mouth and wait for five to 20 minutes.

When you'll see results: 1-2 weeks (when used twice daily)
