At Home Teeth Whitening: Does It Work?

For the past few months I have researched teeth whitening treatments, read reviews and compared prices between all the options on the market. I have used Crest White Strips in the past but they never seemed to whiten to the level I wanted and frankly they were uncomfortable and a bit messy.
I was at the point of speaking to my Dentist about it and getting my teeth professionally whitened. Luckily, Smile Brilliant reached out to me with a collaboration opportunity a few months ago and since then I have been whitening my teeth in the comfort of my own home. 

The first thing I want to mention is the amazing customer service that I have received while working with Smile Brilliant. The brand rep I have worked with has given me the BEST tips to make the whitening process simple and easy. This is a huge reason why I would recommend Smile Brilliant to you and to my friends and family. Any issues I have had they have helped me quickly resolve. This is so important with any product you are using but in general for ANY company. I've worked in retail a lot throughout the years and customer service that makes you feel comfortable, welcomed and empowered is critical for a satisfied customer.


I am going to take you through the entire process from beginning to end and hopefully if you chose to purchase Smile Brilliant for yourself you can refer back to this for any help you may need. Also make sure you read this post to the end for a 15% discount off your purchase.

Step 1: Create Your Impressions

• Smile Brilliant includes very detailed instructions with pictures {shown above} to help you create your personal teeth molds. 
• I suggest reading the instructions a few times before attempting the creation of your molds. 
• They include 3 sets of the materials needed to create the teeth molds. If you mess up you have another to try again. This was so nice for me because I did mess up and I had an extra set already there for me.
• Once you have created your molds and they have hardened you place them in the provided shipping package and send them back to Smile Brilliant. They then create your custom teeth trays from these molds and send them back to you. 

Step 2: At Home Whitening with Custom Trays

• Once you receive your tray back you are ready to start whitening your teeth. This is where the transformation begins. Don't forget to take a BEFORE picture so that you are able to see how great your results are. 

WHITENING TIPS:

• Less is more. Don't overload your trays with the whitening gel. You only need a very thin line of it. I placed the gel along the front of the trays to make sure the gel was hitting the very front of my teeth. I usually got 4-5 whitening treatments per syringe. 
• To prevent sensitivity use the Desensitizing Gel after each treatment and even on days you aren't whitening. When you are whitening your teeth it opens the pores on your teeth and that can lead to sensitivity. The Desensitizing Gel helps to close the pores faster and prevent and reduce discomfort.  
• Take is slow and steady. I did experience some sensitivity after my first few whitening treatments so I decided to do whitening treatments every other day. That plus using the Desensitizing Gel on days I wasn't whitening stopped any sensitivity I was experiencing.

MY THOUGHTS

What I like best about the Smile Brilliant's Teeth Whitening  is how easy and convenient it is. It's currently tax season right now and if you follow me closely you know I am working a lot of extra hours and in the evenings at home. My time is precious and I have to be able to multi-task. I can work on my computer while whitening and I love it! The time goes by so quickly and before I know it I've whitened my teeth and finished a tax return. Can I get a HALLELUJAH?!?! 

Now I am really going to sound like a "mom" here but I love that this system is not messy. I don't have to pull those gross strips off my teeth and throw them away. I simply put a little whitening gel in the tray, whitening, rinse them out and then let them dry. Done and done. Also a lot less trash, which is great for the environment. Your custom trays are durable which allow you to keep them and re-purchase the whitening and desensitizing gel at later dates to maintain your pearly whites. The fact that you can keep the trays forever and re-order the whitening treatments really make this system affordable and worth while in my opinion.


My final verdict on Smile Brilliant is that is totally worth the money, The entire process is easy and convenient. I would absolutely recommend this to you all and my friends and family. I love that this system doesn't just whiten it actually lifts the stains from your teeth so you have a much longer and lasting whitening effect.
