Orbit Professional is being joined by Orbit Professional White, a sugar-free pellet chewing gum that aims to reduce tooth stains and includes Bi-White to keep teeth naturally white.

The gum has been launched in response to consumer research that identified secondary needs from mouth freshening product – in this case teeth whitening too. Packs highlight the key benefits of the gum.

Meanwhile Orbit Professional, launched in September 2003, includes micro-granules to clean teeth in a way consumers can feel. The launch of Professional helped the Orbit brand return to growth after a significant sales dip.

Orbit Professional White replaces Orbit Ice White.

Recommended retail price for the Professional range is 45p.
