What's the difference between teeth whitening treatments?

There are so many teeth whitening options I run across.  Zoom, britesmile, laser whitening, etc.  how do I find the right one/ best whitener?

The only difference is in each treatment's method of activating the solution that whitens your teeth. Some brands of one-hour whitening require a light to activate the solution. Other brands require a separate activating solution that mixes with the base to start the whitening process. All of them use 35% hydrogen peroxide to get the same exact results. There is no one method that is better than another.
