You can whiten teeth: You can whiten teeth 3 ways. 1 over the counter whitening systems sold, in stores. 2 whitening trays custom made by your dentist 3 in office systems like zoom.

Whiter teeth: It depends on the color of your teeth and why they are not as white as you would like. Teeth get yellower as we age, you might only need to bleach them. There could be decay or a medicine you take could be the reason. Anything that stains a white shirt will stain your teeth. Especially cigarettes and cigars.

Whiter teeth: OTC products formulated to reduce extrinsic (surface) discoloration by chemically/abrasively wiping off the surface accretions. Overuse can cause surface compromise. Intrinsic stain, darkening of the internal structure of the teeth, requires Dentist monitored (in office or take home) techniques and materials. See your Dentist for a professional cleaning followed by a custom whitening program.
