At Home Teeth Whitening: Does it Work?

I have been using Smile Brilliant for about a month now and I figured it was time to give you all my detailed review on this at home Teeth Whitening system.

I naturally have pretty white teeth- people often ask me what I do to keep them white, and truthfully I never did anything! Until I started using Smile Brilliant! These whitening tools are SO easy to use!

But first, here are 10 facts about teeth whitening:

1. Your teeth are like sponges…they absorb. Your teeth have pores just like your skin or a sponge. Anything you put in your mouth that has color will absorb into those pores. Wine, coffee, dark berries, and smoking are extremely active in staining teeth. Over time, the natural color of your teeth becomes darker due to these stains. These stains will never go away unless you actively remove them. Properly formulated teeth whitening gel works by absorbing into your teeth and gently pushing stains out through the pores.

2. Teeth whitening does not damage your teeth. Just like aggressive brushing of your teeth, abuse of any kind can be damaging. However, if used as instructed, professional teeth whitening is incredibly safe. The whitening process uses active ingredients to temporarily open pores in your teeth and lift stains. After each whitening session, your teeth naturally remineralize and rehydrate.

3. The key to teeth whitening is the delivery device. Most teeth whitening products on the market use similar active ingredients to whiten. The difference is the device that is used to hold the whitening agent on the tooth. A truly custom-fitted whitening tray ensures that every angle of every tooth (regardless of whether your teeth are straight or not) receives even and consistent coverage. Unlike boil & bit trays, whitening strips, and UV lights, fitted whitening trays eliminate the possibility of inconsistencies and allow you to maintain your beautiful smile.

4. Custom-fitted whitening trays cost $500+ from a dentist in the US. Dentists charge $500+ for custom-fitted trays. You pay this hefty fee because they are doctors and their chair time is valuable. Operating a lab, doing the handwork, and scheduling multiple appointments costs the dentist time and money. Smile brilliant is a professional dental lab without the dentist. We deliver 3x-5x faster and save customers more than 70% off the traditional cost of dentist whitening.

5. Sensitivity after teeth whitening is normal. More than 60% of Americans have naturally sensitive teeth. This is most often caused by genetics, thin enamel, or crack/damaged teeth. During the whitening process, it is completely normal for sensitivity to occur. The teeth become temporarily dehydrated which reduces their ability to insulate the nerve from changes in temperature. Sensitivity will disappear 12-36 hours after whitening. Dentists and hygienists recommend a post-whitening fluoride treatment to nourish the teeth and promote rehydration.

6. Laser or UV light teeth whitening is temporary. Ultra-violet (UV) light is a frequency of light that works by accelerating the whitening gel to act faster. This process is FDA regulated and only offered under dentist supervision. Although it does whiten very quickly, it is not an option for people with sensitive teeth. Further, the results are temporary and must still be maintained (often with custom-fitted whitening trays or repeat dental visits). The process is incredibly expensive and time-consuming.

Blue LED lights sold by “overnight teeth whitening companies” do nothing. The light is simply a blue color but does not create ultra-violet (UV) light frequency. The gel does not act any faster with a blue LED light than it does by itself.

7. Stains on teeth cannot be removed overnight.No product on the market can whiten in a few minutes or a day. Chemically, it is impossible for any whitening agent to safely penetrate deep enough into the teeth at that speed. If this were possible, dentists would not be paid well to create custom-fitted whitening trays. The truth is that the whitening process can take as few as 4 days and up to several months. Customers with severe stains must be patient with the process and know that each whitening session removes years of stains. Once those stains are gone, it is incredibly easy to maintain.

8. Caps and veneers cannot be whitened When artificial caps and veneers are installed, they are created to match the color of your surrounding teeth. The material is created a darker (or lighter) color and can never be changed. Caps and veneers will neither whiten nor stain. Teeth whitening will not damage dental work.

9. The best time to whiten your teeth is just before bed immediately after whitening (regardless of the product you use), your teeth are more susceptible to restaining. The pores in your teeth are slightly more open and can more easily allow stains in. Smile Brilliant and dentist professionals recommend whitening before bed as it reduces the opportunity for staining and gives your teeth the night to begin rehydrating and remineralizing. To speed up the remineralizing process, Smile Brilliant offers fluoride infused desensitizing gel to nourish and replenish.

10. Not everyone’s teeth can be perfectly white regardless of your stains, the natural color (and genetic makeup) of an individual’s teeth are set at birth. The only thing a whitening product can do is remove all the stains that have accumulated over time. Unfortunately, most dentists will not tell you this nor will they give you any kind of refund if it doesn’t work. Smile Brilliant’s 45 day money back guarantee gives everyone the opportunity to try professional whitening. You’ll never know just how white your teeth can be until you try. We want to provide the world with that opportunity.

Here is my experience: 

First, you have to make a mold of your teeth, but truthfully this step is just so darn easy! The directions they sent out were super simple to follow and it was very easy to do. They even included photos of what a good mold looks like which is super helpful! So I sent my mold in and waiting for the trays to come back. I got my trays back super fast too!

I was so excited to use this! I then whitened my teeth, I started off with 45 minutes because I didn’t want my sensitive teeth to hurt. Truthfully, the first few times my teeth were pretty sensitive, even with the de-sensitive gels. But, my teeth did get used to it after a few times. I also made sure to space my whitening apart and I have been doing the whitening 2-3 times a week for just 45 minutes each time. I do it before bed so ensure I do not eat anything after!

One other small issue I endured was I felt like the whitening gel was coming out of the top of the tray. Well, turns out I was putting the gel too far up the tray! After putting them where they are supposed to go- about halfway I didn’t have any issues with the gel coming out of the tray. Also, you want to make sure you are not using too much of the gel, each 3ML syringe delivers 3-4 applications (both top and bottom teeth).

My thoughts:

Honestly, I love smile Brilliant. I see a difference in my teeth! My years of coffee and wine drinking have caught up to me. I noticed the most difference in my videos. The results are amazing! I feel like each session takes off soo many cups of coffee and wine! It’s amazing! Some friends have noticed a difference in my teeth, asking how I get them that white and I have been telling everyone to try Smile Brilliant.

I love how it just takes an hour and it’s not uncomfortable. Literally, all you do is pop in the trays with the gel and continue with your business. I use when I’m editing before bed, or watching TV.

The price is great too! They offer different packages and they are all reasonably priced and truthfully a lot cheaper than going to a spot and getting teeth whitening. Truthfully once you get your teeth to where you want them to be, you don’t have to do it as much as when you started! So that’s a huge plus.
