What is at home tooth bleaching/ tooth whitening?
At-home teeth whitening or at-home teeth bleaching kits contain a weaker bleaching agent that is usually accompanied by LED lights and is meant to be used at home on a monthly/weekly basis without dental supervision.
Bleaching agents are loaded in trays and worn in the upper and lower jaws by the user and exposed to high-intensity light. It is less effective when compared to in office bleaching or in office tooth whitening, as weaker agents are used. Repeated or unsupervised use of these agents can lead to harmful side effects.

Such OTC products are not recommended for regular use. As the tooth whitening results are minimal they can only be used to maintain the tooth shade.
