what is the difference between zoom & laser teeth whitening?


Hi, my husband had the zoom whitening. They put a gel on his teeth and placed some separators in his mouth so that his lips were held open. Then light was focused on his teeth and the process caused his teeth to whiten after a certain amount of time.
I used the trays that you used daily for two weeks but I've only used them a few times. I hate wearing the trays.

From what I've seen on tv the laser is a similar process as the zoom but is supposed to be faster. The laser changes the color and is more focused than the gel and zoom light system.

    BOTH OF THESE SYSTEMS USE A CHEMICAL GEL AND LIGHT, BUT THE REAL DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE LASER IS MUCH MORE INTENSE THAN THE ZOOM WHERE THE LIGHT IS CONCERNED, AND IS MUCH FASTER. A FEW SECONDS PER TOOTH VS. 40 MINUTES FOR THE ZOOM.
