Best At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit
I’ve tried A LOT of teeth whitening products over the years. From all-natural home remedies, whitening strips, whitening pens, and I even had custom trays made from the dentist. The whitening strips – DISASTER. They felt strange, slid around constantly, and never worked. The home remedies took more work than actually “working” – Did I mention they tasted GROSS! Whitening pens just seemed like the perfect scenario for bacteria to form – think about it….you apply the gel to your teeth, you can try to prevent it from getting wet but it does. Then you try and dry it out but in reality its on-the-go so you put the cap back on and go about your day. Bacteria LOVES dark and wet places = bacteria going in your mouth the next time you use it. No thanks.
Honestly, I gave up on trying to whiten my teeth besides using whitening tooth paste daily. I mean I do love some Starbucks and Diet Pepsi so I still needed to try something but had no clue where to start. Then Smile Brilliant reached out to see if I’d like to try their at home custom teeth whitening kit. After researching their website reviews, ingredients and 3-4 youtube videos later I agreed to give it a try.
Who is Smile Brilliant? What makes them better than all the other at home whitening kits?
Smile Brilliant offers an at-home, professional strength, teeth whitening system with custom trays. Everything you would get from the dentist but in the comfort of your own home! Did I mention it is half the cost? Really, it is!
Getting Started
Smile Brilliant will send you a kit with detailed instructions and pictures on how to take impressions of your teeth. The kit also includes: whitening gel, desensitizing gel, 2 different color impression materials and 2 whitening trays. The impression material reminds me of silly putty to be honest.
Now I know what you are thinking – Impressions = NO WAY! I will let you in on a little secret. I was a dental assistant in an Orthodontic Office for almost 3 years. To say that I took hundreds of impressions is an understatement. Most of them were kids and some adults. So trust that I have heard it ALL – And when I say that these impressions are easy they really are easy. The material is thick and doesn’t run out of the tray. However, be sure to grab a paper towel because you will drool!
Once you take your impressions you simply put it in the envelope and send it back to Smile Brilliant. In a week or so, you’ll receive your custom whitening trays and you’re ready to start whitening!
How Does it Work?
The instructions say that you can whiten your teeth anywhere from 40 minutes to 3 hours each day. Let’s be real – who has time to whiten their teeth this long during the day? I stuck to 40 minutes of whitening every 3-5 days because naturally I have sensitive teeth. The desensitizing gel helped a little but due to my sensitive teeth I needed to space my sessions out more than others. I also had to get a chipped tooth repaired which made me have to hold off whitening for approximately 2 weeks.
However, you can whiten every day depending on your personal preference and sensitivity level. Regardless my teeth are super white and it is all because of Smile Brilliant!!
