Over the years I have always paid great attention to my smile. I had braces for two and a half years during middle and early high school, and after I got them off I was really proud of my smile!
Two years ago, right before my wedding, I was really wanting my teeth to be extra white because I wanted to look my best for my wedding day, and I knew I would look back on my wedding pictures for forever. I had noticed that through college my teeth weren’t quite as white as the used to be, so in my mind, right before my wedding was a perfect time to figure out what worked for whitening my teeth.
I tried Crest white stripes, making my own trays, different toothpastes, etc. but nothing worked. Well, I shouldn’t say they didn’t work, they all whitened my teeth, however my teeth were so sensitive to everything I tried, I could never stick with any of them!
After going through the pain to have my teeth white for my wedding I kind of gave up on teeth whitening. I honestly thought that my teeth were too sensitive to use any of the products out there, and I didn’t even want to consider the price to go and get it professionally done.
Fast forward to a few months ago when Smile Brilliant reached out to me to see if I wanted to try their at home whitening kit. At first I had the same thought I always had in the past about my teeth being too sensitive, but then I did a little research and realized that they offered something I had never heard of before, a desensitizing gel! I was so pumped because I knew that there might finally be a product that I could use that wouldn’t hurt to whiten my teeth!
I got my kit from Smile Brilliant in the mail and was instantly impressed by how well the instructions were laid out for me. Smile Brilliant offers a dental grade teeth whitening system, but for way cheaper than you would pay at a dentist’s office. This means you get customized trays made so that your teeth whitening experience is the best it can be!
The first step was to make a mold of my teeth. The instructions were super clear, and they even provided pictures. Also, they showed common mistakes that one should avoid and they even provided extra molding material in case I messed up. Thankfully the molds don’t take to long to make (easy gag reflex anyone?) Then, I sent my molds back in the already prepaid envelope they sent! Seriously, so simple!
Smile Brilliant kept me informed every step along the way, with emails telling me when my molds had arrived, and when my trays were being shipped out!
After a week or so, I received my custom made trays in the mail, and I was seriously so impressed with how well they fit my teeth! Also, they were thin, so they weren’t super bulky when I put them in (such a great feature). If you have crooked teeth, then this is the whitening kit for you, since it’s made specifically for your teeth no matter, their shape, size, or placement!
Then it was time to start whitening!
The whitening gel and desensitizing gel come in syringes that are individually packaged and resealable. They recommend that you can get 3-4 uses out of each syringe, but since I have fairly small teeth I was able to get even more out of each one!
I whitened my teeth and then used the desensitizing gel every other day for about a week and a half, and never once did I have sensitive teeth! Also, after every use I could see that my teeth had become noticeably whiter!
You can see in the images below the change in my teeth! The pictures are great, but in no way show how much whiter my teeth truly looked in person!
Overall I was blown away by the results! This kit is totally worth the investment because with it you will be able to #smilefearlessly!
