Teeth whitening pens are a quick and simple way to enhance the whiteness of your teeth. They are thin, plastic tubes containing whitening gel. Teeth can be stained from food such as berries, red sauces, coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks and cigarettes. Like whitening toothpaste, a teeth whitening pen fights these common stains—but it differs from toothpaste because of its size, portability, and general convenience. Here, we’ll discuss what they are, how to use them, and their effectiveness.
How do teeth whitening pens work?
Many teeth whitening pens are filled with whitening serums with carbamide or hydrogen peroxide as the key bleaching agents. Whitening serum is applied to the teeth with an applicator brush. This allows for a precise application and ensures that it is distributed evenly across each tooth without any mess or wastage.

Colgate Optic White Overnight Teeth Whitening Treatment Pen whitens teeth up to 3 shades in as little as 2 weeks.* Simply apply Colgate Optic White Teeth Whitening serum to clean teeth right before going to bed, after your normal oral care routine. The serum, which is vegan, gluten free, and sugar free, quickly forms a smudge-proof, concentrated hydrogen peroxide film on your teeth once applied. The next morning, brush normally to remove the film and reveal your brighter, whiter smile.
*Starts working from day 1.Individual results may vary.
How to use the Colgate Optic White teeth whitening pen?
Colgate’s Optic White Pen is a hassle free way to whitening your teeth. Follow these easy how-to steps for a whiter smile overnight:
After brushing your teeth just before bed, dry the top row of teeth by simply dabbing with a tissue. When your teeth are dry, the film adheres to your teeth better, for enhanced whitening!
Remove the cap and click the end of the pen until the gel is released. It may take a few extra clicks for the first time.
Apply a single, thin layer of serum to each tooth across the top row - and wait 10 to 15 seconds for clear film to form. Dry the bottom row of teeth and repeat the process.
The concentrated hydrogen peroxide film will stay on your teeth overnight while you catch those zzzs. The next morning, brush normally to remove the film and reveal your brighter, whiter smile.
To clean your pen, wipe the brush bristles with a dry tissue, do not use water. Firmly replace the cap until you hear a soft click to avoid hardening of the tip. If the pen dries out, click 2 - 3 times to dispense more serum and flex the brush to soften.
