How can I whiten my teeth without a dentist?

I'm looking for something I can use at home.
--------------------
I'm a dentist so I generally recommend getting them whitened professionally in a dentists office but I know how expensive it can be so here are some cheaper ways you can whiten at home. 1) Use whitening toothpastes after 4 times a day but brush LIGHTER so you don't ruin your gums. Using baking soda with this is also effective for some people. 2) Exposure of the teeth to light is a slow but effective way to whiten. However, I don't recommend this method to many people just because it's hard to achieve. It's pretty awkward to expose teeth to sun light 4 hours out of the day and teeth whitening products that shine UV light on your teeth are simply ineffective. 3) At-home teeth whitening products that work. I'm not talking about Crest Whitestrips or similar products found at walgreens or walmart. PLEASE don't use those. Almost every day I get calls from my clients complaining and asking for advice because the whitestrips destroyed their gums ... made their teeth extra sensitive .... or flat out didnt work .. etc. You're better off using products like the ones in the article I attached below. They can get expensive but as the article states, they are giving out free trials so get them while you can. They work better than any other at home solution (they're almost better than the dentists!) so I would definitely recommend them.
