Smile Brilliant | How I Brightened My Smile in 5 Days |

Hey everyone! As an avid coffee drinker, I am definitely always on the look-out for great whitening products and I think I have finally found what I have been searching for all along! Smile Brilliant had contacted me that the perfect time when I had been researching other methods of whitening my teeth. They offer an easy at-home teeth whitening system that is very convenient to use! 

After 5 whitening treatments!

It is delivered to your home, no appointment is necessary and it will save you some money rather than having a professional whitening done at a dental office. I have definitely seen a difference in the colour of my teeth after only two whitening treatments!

In the past, I have tried white strips, whitening pens and trays that came in a boxed kit that didn’t fit my mouth properly because it was a ‘one size fit all’ type of deal. What is great about Smile Brilliant is that they offer a Tray Creation Kit that lets you take impressions of your upper and lower teeth. It is very easy to do and they walk you through all of the steps. 

The first and most important step is to brush and floss your teeth very well to ensure that they are as clean as they can be before you create your moulds. You then go into your kit and combine the Catalyst Paste and the Base Paste together by folding them in half for 60 seconds or less. 

Step 3 is to take your putty that you have been folding in half (it should now be a solid blue with no white streaks,) and spread it evenly in the tray in under 30 seconds. After the putty has been evenly distributed, you can go onto the next step but I must mention that you should only do 1 tray at a time. Next, you want to make your upper impression first. Smile Brilliant does provide you with an extra set if needed but I personally, did not need to use it. 

Essentially, you want to push the tray up onto your teeth so that it goes straight up and all the teeth hit the putty at the same time. You want to push it up deep enough so that the putty flows over. You might want to have a timer handy because you want to leave the tray in your mouth for 2 minutes and 30 seconds or whenever the material becomes firm enough. Once you take the tray out, check that everything looks good and then repeat the same process on the lower teeth! It is advised that your impressions are left for 30 minutes and then rinse them under cool water. I left them overnight and then rinsed them in the morning. The last step is to mail them back to Smile Brilliant and they will email you letting you know that they have received your trays as well as when your custom trays have been shipped out to you. 

Once you receive your custom trays (mine fit perfectly and I was very impressed with them,) you will want to begin whitening your teeth right away! In your kit, you have both the Teeth Whitening Gel as well as The Desensitizing Gel. You will go in first with the Whitening Gel and follow the instructions. Each syringe gives you about 3-4 applications on both the upper and lower teeth but I can stretch it out and get 6 uses out of one syringe. Do not use too much gel or more than you need. The first time I used my trays, I left them in for 1 hour and 10 minutes and each time after that, I was able to keep in the trays for that same amount of time. It really depends on your level of sensitivity and what you are comfortable with. Make sure to rinse and dry your trays after this step. Also, brush your teeth with toothpaste after you have finished whitening your teeth.

After that is completed, it is time for the Desensitizing Gel to work its magic and you will wear the trays for 15-20 minutes. Like the previous step, you will want to apply an even amount of the gel to the part of the tray that actually hits the teeth. Once that time is up, you will spit out any remaining gel - DO NOT rinse your teeth with water and don’t eat or drink for at least 30 minutes. I personally like to whiten my teeth before I go to sleep. That is the ideal time for me but of course, it varies from person-to-person. 

I really love that they included the Desensitizing Gel because with other whitening products that I have used in the past, I noticed that my teeth became very sensitive in the morning and it was hard to eat or drink hot or cold items especially. Now, I do not have this problem whatsoever and I have a solution which is this fabulous gel!

I mentioned that I have used different forms of whitening in the past and my teeth were not very yellow to begin with, but even after two uses, I noticed that my teeth had become whiter. Now after 5 at-home whitening sessions, my teeth have never been whiter and I have been receiving a lot of compliments! I love to smile and show my pearly whites off to the world!

UPDATE: The only thing that I do not like is that some of the labels on the syringes are peeling off. I haven't done anything to cause this and it quite strange. Also, I have noticed this more in the Desensitizing Gels, a lot of product will squirt out at once and you really can't control it. You obviously can't put the product back into the syringe so you just have to spread it around your whitening tray(s). These are very minor things, but I still wanted to mention them in-case someone else experienced the same thing happening to them.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
