How we rated these products
We compared each product on four criteria: what it offers for the price, its features and formula, what customers say, and the standards it is sold under. Each gets a score out of 10, and the OHA score is their average. Our ratings are based on research using each brand's published information and customer feedback, not on hands-on testing. See our methodology disclaimer.
Buying guide
Strength rules differ. The Dental Board of Australia says only registered dental practitioners can use or supply products with more than 6% hydrogen peroxide, so Australian strips go up to 6%. In the UK and EU, products sold to the public must contain no more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide, so strips use PAP or very low peroxide levels. We found no national limit in the US sources we checked. See stained teeth.
Cost per treatment beats pack price. Packs range from 7 to 21 treatments, so compare the cost per treatment, and the wear time you are willing to do each day.
What to expect. Strips lighten natural enamel only, not crowns, veneers or fillings. Sensitivity and gum irritation are common and usually temporary.
Frequently asked questions
Are strips or an LED kit better?
Strips are cheaper and need no device; LED kits pair a gel with a mouth tray and light. The evidence that the light itself adds much is mixed. Compare both in our kit guides for Australia, the UK and the US.
Will strips make my teeth sensitive?
They can. The NHS lists sensitivity and sore gums as common side effects of whitening, usually short-lived. See whitening with sensitive teeth.
Do strips work on crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening changes natural enamel only, so crowns, veneers and fillings stay the same shade.
Our verdict
Each market's best value comes from a different brand: Oral-B in Australia, MySweetSmile in the UK and Crest in the US. White Glo, SNOW and Crest come with money-back guarantees. SmilePro's strips use 30-minute sessions, with 6% hydrogen peroxide in Australia and the US and PAP in the UK.
