I actually got my teeth whitened last year. I was at the dentist anyway for a check-up so just asked about it, he told me about the ways of doing it so I chose the at home method, Pola nite, cost around 350 euro for 2 treatments (20 tubes of the stuff) He took an impression of my teeth to make a gum shield for me, then it was just a case of putting the stuff in the shields and popping them in my mouth before bed. Its abit uncomfortable is all, going to sleep with paste in your mouth like but its worth the hassle. I only used about 13 tubes and they were really really white, everyone noticed the difference. They still do. I just kept the rest and I used one every few months to just top it up a bit. I have bought from ebay sellers since and had no problems, once you get the shield from the dentist then your sorted as the home shields are never as good. The dentist charge 15 euro for a tube of the peroxide paste but I have gotten 10 tubes for 50 euro on ebay. I'd recommend going to the dentist anyway first, peroxide past can make your teeth super sensitive so for the sake of a few pound its worth getting proper advice and not end doing painful & irreversible damage.

Stuff I've got would burn your teeth away if you left it in all night.

Yeah it's clear stuff. I was on the 16% POLANITE one, there is a 22% but I decided to stay using 16%, stick with what worked  Your teeth get sensitive while using it but that wears off 2-3 days after you stop using it again. One of the best things I ever did, always get compliments about my toots.. Everyone is different though so I'd still recommend a vist to the dentist..

Thread turned out better than I thought it would.
Might give some more expensive stuff from Boots a go before I go to the dentist.

Exactly the same stuff I use.
I went to the dentist and they recommend this one. They take an impression of your teeth and it takes a week-ish to come back.
You only need a tiny bit in the mouth piece every night and the kit is about 2 weeks worth. Once you're done, it'll last for about 6-12 months depending on how much tea, coffee, coke, or whatever you have.
Yes, it makes your teeth sensitive for the first few days.
Top tip from the dentist.
Use sensitive tooth paste and after brushing, apply a tiny amount of the same toothpaste on the surface of your teeth before putting the mouth piece in.

These. The professional vivid white ones are pretty good. About $30 for a course iirc.
My girlfriend had hers professionally done 18 months back and they are still really good. She uses the above to top them up every other month
