There are 2 types of people, some that try everything to whiten their teeth and those that don’t care. I’m one of the ones that will try anything.
I buy whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, mouthwash you name it, I buy it. Do I ever see any results? As much as I’d like to think I do, my teeth kind of still look the same. Could it be the red wine, coffee or curry chicken that prohibit my teeth from getting pearly white? Maybe? Fact is as you age, so do your teeth.
I went so far as to get professionally whitened a few years ago. There are so many cosmetic treatments available when it comes to teeth whitening! While the results were AMAZING it was very expensive at about $500+. It lasted for about a year which was great but it also caused me so much pain for days later. Pain to the point where I couldn’t talk anymore, just drool. As much as I liked the results, that deep into the bone pain (and hefty price) just isn’t worth it to me. Now that’s not to say teeth whitening by a professional isn’t for everyone, in fact I’ve got several friends who get it regularly done. If you can afford it, and you’ve got a good dentist, for example, from somewhere like Dentist Endicott, you’ll always get better results than if you try it yourself at home.
I jumped at the chance to review The Smile Brilliant LED whitening system. It’s affordable starting at just $39.99.
Smile Brilliant LED is the same concept of the expensive professional treatment just on a smaller, do-it-yourself at home scale which I love.
In the $39.99 package along with the instructions you’ll find your LED accelerator light, 1 (4ml) whitening gel syringe, mouth guard and a small paint brush.
You twist the pen to get the gel to flow. It mentions on the insert it may take up to 40 twists, but I found it was about 60. I almost thought it was broken.
Once the Gel starts to flow, you paint your teeth generously with the gel, being careful not to get it on your lips. Then you bite down on the tooth guard which helps keep the gel off your lips and insert the LED light. You leave this on for 20-45minutes with the LED light.
I could not make it 45 minutes; it’s hard for me to go that long without talking and by 20 minutes, trying not to swallow the saliva (saliva + Gel mix) things became a bit.. drool worthy! The insert states that you can continue the whitening process for an additional 1-2 hours without the light.
I do notice a difference my teeth look much brighter. This would be great for continued use over time, or as maintenance treatment. I did feel some sensitivity on my 2nd treatment so I decided to take a break for a few days. My after photo is the result of using the treatment 6 times (2x a week) for 3 weeks. I found that the sensitivity didn’t bother me with this regimen.
I have 2 kids in braces, one due to be removed in October. He saw the photos on the Smile brilliance website and is already pleading for the custom tray treatment for when he gets his braces off.
Would I recommend Smile Brilliant! Professional Teeth Whitening System to friends and family? You bet I would! There’s nothing better then a brilliant smile. I find myself smiling a lot more these days thanks to Smile Brilliant!
