Can I REALLY Whiten at Home?

I have always wanted to whiten at home, should I?
As you know, on this blog I am always posing in some outfit or other. I want to look my very best and that includes my teeth. True Confession: I have never whitened them before! No really –Never. But I have always wanted to whiten them via the dentist, but it’s so expensive.
But I have concerns about home whitening:
- Is it too hard?
- Is it safe?
- Will it work?
- Will my teeth be too sensitive?
- Is it STILL expensive?
I’ll bet you have all these same questions as well.
Smile Brilliant sent me a package so I could whiten at home and let you know the answers to those questions. Watch this 2 minute video to understand the process. It was really that easy for me too!
Here’s a little summary so you can see the steps of how to Use Smile Brilliant:
How much does Smile Brilliant cost?
The rep I worked with said that you needed to do several applications of the product in order to get stubborn stains out and see results. Luckily, the 3 syringe package I was sent you is good for 9 total applications, not just 2-3. Each syringe is good for 3 applications, so you will use 1/3 of a syringe per application. Each application is both top and bottom tray PLUS your whitening trays for $119. Additional whitening kits are $34 for 3 more syringes (about 9 applications), your trays are reusable…Yeah! I would also highly recommend getting the desensitizing gel, 3 tubes are $19.95…the whitening DOES tend to hurt without this gel.
So basically for $140 versus $100s at the dentist. After that, its just $34 for 3 more syringes/9 applications!
So how did Smile Brilliant work for me?
Does Smile Brilliant Work? Here’s my results. The pictures don’t show it as well as I would like, but I felt my teeth were several shades whiter and the stains were definitely GONE! I experienced only mild pain during whitening as I used the desensitizing gel. Two of my four front teeth are veneers so I can’t expect those to whiten (need them replaced and already have an appointment in place.) I felt the cost was reasonable for what I achieved, especially given that I am 52 and have never whitened my teeth before. The process was very fast and the directions were super simple to follow.

I like the thirty day guarantee so that if you aren’t pleased they stand behind their product
I like that it lasts for up to 2 years and you can get custom fitted trays.
the custom fitting of my teeth
I like that it custom fit to your teeth for coverage
I like the 2 year warranty.
I like that it comes with desensitizing gel b/c I had my teeth professionally whitened several years ago and it was painful for 24 hours after.
I don’t have to see my scary dentist!
2 year teeth whitening tray replacement warranty.
I like that it is custom fitted for your mouth. A lot of whitening systems fall off your teeth or do not fit properly
I like that they are made for my mouth and that you can use the trays over and over. This saves a ton of money.
i like that i don’t have to leave my house to have a custom dental tray made
I like the custom fit that seems to be something other teeth whiteners are lacking
It looks like it works I like everything about it
I love that it comes with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee!
I think I tried this once!
I really like the idea of the custom fitted whitening trays. Not all teeth are perfectly straight, even after braces, so things like whitening strips can miss areas. These sound like they would get the best coverage of all teeth over other whitening methods.
I like that they are custom fitted for your teeth
My favorite feature is that you don’t need to go to a dentist. Dentists are expensive! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite feature of the system is the carrying case because I travel a lot and this would be so convenient to pack and transport.
I have had the whitening system twice but it didn’t really change the overall look much. Still better than nothing.
