Well, it’s simple! Opal^™ is brought to you by Opalescence^®, the world’s #1-selling professional whitening brand—trusted by 25,000+ dentists. We’ve been brightening up over 100 million smiles for the last 30 years, and we pride ourselves in only putting out safe, professional-caliber whitening products backed by dental science. All of our products are easy to use, great-tasting, vegan, certified gluten-free, and certified kosher. How’s that for a better way to whiten?

For a whitening brand you can trust to get you brilliant results every time, Opal^™ by Opalescence^® is the way to go.

Our teeth whitening works by removing stains and discolorations from the enamel and dentin. The outer layer of the tooth is called enamel, and beneath the enamel is dentin. Enamel is thin and usually much lighter in color, while dentin is darker and makes up most of the tooth. Enamel can lose its color over time simply from age, but also from things like coffee, tea, tobacco, and other foods and beverages. Also, as we get older, our enamel can thin out, causing more dentin to show through, making the overall appearance of the tooth look less brilliant. The active ingredients in our whitening gels oxidize the discolored molecules deep down in your teeth to remove stains and whiten your smile comfortably. Plus, our original, patented formula is sticky and viscous, preventing the whitening gel from seeping out and ensuring your trays stay in place to brighten up your teeth.¹²

Opal^™ teeth whitening products were created to help you achieve brilliant results from the comfort of your own home. Opalescence^® is our professional line of teeth whitening products, typically found at your friendly neighborhood dentist’s office. Both Opal^™ and 

Opalescence^® work wonders, but here are a couple of key differences: 

• Strength Selection: Opal^™ Prefilled Whitening Trays come in 6% and 11% options, giving you a choice in the whitening power you want. Opalescence Go^™ Prefilled Whitening Trays, on the other hand, are professional-grade and usually only available through your dentist.
• Patient Care: Opalescence Go^™ Prefilled Whitening Trays include potassium nitrate and fluoride for dental patients in need of a little extra comfort.

Great question! All Opal^™ teeth whitening products are formulated to add brilliance to your smile in their own unique way. Let’s break it down for you:

• Both our Classic and Gentle Prefilled Whitening Trays as well as our Whitening Tray Gel Refills use non-abrasive ingredients to safely brighten teeth.  
• Our Original and Sensitivity Relief Whitening Toothpastes use a mildly abrasive silica to effectively remove surface stains¹³ and keep your teeth glowing.
