1. An LED light that connects to your smartphone (goodbye sitting by an outlet!) and cuts the time it takes to use whitening strips in half.

amazon.com

Not only does this make whitening sessions faster, but it saves you money! No more replacing entire kits when you run out of gel. It comes with 16 bright LEDs and three adapters for iPhone, Android and USB (compatible w/ 4G and newer) and works with both strips and gel!!

Promising review: "A friend recommended this product to me and now I can't stop smiling to show off my teeth! I've previously used white strips but my teeth are very sensitive so I don't use them often enough to maintain white teeth. With this light I only had to keep the strips on for a fraction of the time and got awesome results. People have been complimenting my bright teeth all week and someone even asked if I had veneers. Very happy with the product!" —Lea M

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

2. A whitening pre-rinse mouthwash for re-mineralizing and brightening teeth with nothing more than a swish and a gargle.

amazon.com

It's gentle enough to work with all dental restorations (bonding, caps, veneers, and dentures) without harmful bleaches or abrasives!

Promising review: "I've been using Supersmile for several years and love it!! I have very sensitive teeth with receding gums, but Supersmile toothpaste and the whitening pre-rinse do NOT hurt my teeth. My dentist always tells me, 'Whatever you're using, keep on using it because your teeth look great.' My teeth are super white because of the Supersmile toothpaste and pre-rinse and I have never had a dentist whiten them, nor have I ever used whitening strips or anything like that." —Paula A Ford

Get it from Amazon for $18.

3. An effective charcoal powder, because seeing your sink turn black is scary, but watching your teeth turn the exact opposite color makes it worth it.

Promising review: "This is such a nice alternative to those tooth whitening kits! I have only used this a few days, and I can tell you that I am already seeing results. There is literally no taste or smell to it, and it does not leave my teeth with any sensitivity. Once you rinse, your mouth actually feels nice and clean." —Brandy

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. I used it for about a week before I was completely sold. Day one I saw a change, however, I wanted to be sure I wasn't buying into the madness. The results are certainly REAL! I would recommend this product 10 times out of 10." —Steve

Get it from Amazon for $24.79. Available in six flavors.

Promising review: "I don't have the straightest teeth, but I certainly feel better about my smile when they're white. I drink coffee at least three times a day, so surface stains build up quickly. I noticed immediately that my mouth felt amazingly clean. After 24 hours, I noticed a huge improvement in my teeth sensitivity. After 72 hours, it was non-existent. Entirely gone — something I had battled with my entire adult life. So awesome!" —Salem Webster

Get it from Amazon for $20.97. Available in three flavors.

This includes: two whitening gels, two remineralization gels, two whitening mouth trays, one LED blue light, and fitting instructions!

Promising review: "I've been looking for an at-home teeth whitening kit and decided to try this Dental Duty one. I previously tried strips that were uncomfortable and slipped off my teeth. The two pre-molded mouth guards are soft and comfortable and the LED connects to them easily. This kit comes with color chart to watch the progress as your teeth become whiter. Gel does not have any strong taste or odor and has not caused any teeth sensitivity." —LMW

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

8. A minty charcoal toothpaste to scrub off unwanted yellowing while *actually* enjoying yourself — mint flavor AND no mess? Lifesaver.

amazon.com

It's completely natural, plant-based, and cruelty-free!

Promising review: "This is the only brand of charcoal toothpaste I will ever buy. I’ve tried so very many different brands of charcoal toothpaste and this is, BY FAR, the best there is! It has a wonderful flavor — I’ve tried both flavors and they are equally as good, and doesn’t leave a funky aftertaste in your mouth like most other toothpastes. You can eat and drink right after you brush and it won’t affect the taste of your food or drink. It whitens very quickly, as well! My husband and I both saw results within a week!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

9. An inexpensive pack of charcoal that may be dirty but will leave your teeth pearly.

Promising review: "I love this! I have extremely sensitive teeth and so I was using a $30 prescription toothpaste. That prescription toothpaste still made my teeth hurt. So I switched to charcoal and not only is there no pain, but it has whitened my teeth!" —Allison

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four sizes).

10. A set of Crest whitening strips so you can kick back and watch Netflix while they mold to your teeth and do all the *heavy lifting*.

These bad boys can lift up to *10 years* of staining when used once day for 30 minutes (usually in about four weeks)!

Promising review: "So I'm always skeptical! I have wanted to try these for a while, but $30 was still a bit steep. Finally I couldn't stand how yellow my teeth got! (coffee and cigarettes daily) Whitening toothpaste did nothing. So I gave these a go and I am SO GLAD I did! I'm not even done with my very first box and my teeth are so much whiter! I use these once per day before bed. They stay on well and don't ooze (major plus)! Every day I take a picture and compare it to the first one! Amazing progress!!" —Brooke

Seriously! You swipe and go about your day — it contains 44% Carbamide Peroxide that gently removes your stains AND fights tooth decay.

Promising review: "I have tried a few products and given up on them almost immediately but this product is different. It has only been about a week and I am seeing an immediate difference.

I wanted a product that was all-natural and effective while giving me a pain-free experience. I have found it 100% with ToothBrite!! Follow the instructions and after your first brush you will see results! After my very first use I could already see results! Perfect for anyone looking to keep up their pearly whites!" —Sara Abraham

Promising review: "This is all natural, tastes great, and ACTUALLY WORKS. Great packaging and amount of product for the cost. My teeth looked whiter even after the first use.
