Whitening: Teeth that are thin from a bruxism or "grinding" habit are often too sensitive to whiten. There is no one product that is preferred or recommended for such teeth. I would definitely recommend a lower strength bleach (possibly an over-the-counter system) to attempt bleaching. I would definitely discuss your grinding habit with your dentist. This is a condition that needs to be addressed.

Luma White: The in-office professional whitening product, luma white is the system that causes the least amount of sensitivity. It uses an led light which generates no heat ) and takes 32 minutes (8 minutes four times) to complete.

See dentist: Before whitening your teeth, they should be checked by your dentist. Your teeth might need to be restored to preserve the remaining tooth structure and it also may eliminate your sensitivity.
