What is the difference in dentist prescribed whitening system vs over the counter whitening?
A. The key differences are FIT OF THE TRAY and QUALITY of the product used. No one has a “one size fits all mouth”, and the tray MUST fit well for the whitening to work well. If not, you could get spotty results, or burn your gum tissue. The professional gels are more consistent and contain desensitizers that the cheaper over-the-counter gels do not have. Whitening results are also faster using the professional gels.
