A new tooth whitening composition provides sustained release of high levels of whitening agent and is moisture-activated without significant swelling. A preferred system for applying the composition to the teeth is flexible, self-adhesive, and well-tolerated by users. In certain embodiments the tooth whitening composition comprises a mixture of tooth whitening agents, with a first whitening agent selected so as to release peroxide gradually upon contact with moisture and produce an alkaline pH, and a second whitening agent selected so as to release peroxide rapidly upon contact with moisture.
