In my previous post I told you all that I wanted to focus on brightening my smile this year. Unlike Cardi B, I don’t have a bag to fix my teeth (hope you hoes know it ain’t cheap). LOL. SORRY, I had too! I was super duper ecstatic when Smile Brilliant contacted me about trying their teeth whitening system.

I have never tried professional whitening or any at home kits. Before you consider an at home whitening system I recommend you to consult your dentist. In my case, my dentist recommended that I start the process once I finished my professional deep cleaning sessions. This would allow for better results with whitening. See my before pics below.

What I liked most about the Smile Brilliant teeth whitening kit is that it’s customized to your preferences. The first step is they send you a kit to create a mold of your teeth. Once you mail back the molds they will create trays to fit your teeth perfectly. In addition there are a series of questions that you will need to answer in order to determine what type of kit is best for your teeth. Based on my answers, I received a kit for sensitive teeth. Included in the kit was my custom fit trays, 6 whitening gels, and 6 desensitizing gels.

The photos above were taken after 2 months on consistent use of the whitening system. In no way, shape, or form were the photos brightened, retouched, or edited in any capacity. I absolutely love the results! Here are some tips for achieving maximum results:

1. Whiten when it is most convenient for you. I am such a stickler for following directions that I limited my whitening to night time because the directions were to not eat or drink afterwards. Bad decision! This caused me to be really inconsistent with whitening in the beginning. Once I switched to whitening in the morning during my showers I was HOOKED. I take a really long time to get ready in the morning so it was perfect.

2. If you decide to whiten any other time besides before bed, be mindful of your food/drink intake. I only drink water, sparkling waters, and tea. If I was to consume tea or any other staining beverages such as red wine I would drink it with a straw.

3. Do not go heavy with the whitening gel in your trays. You only need a thin layer. Maximize the product!

4. Gross alert: Keep something close for spit. Having the urge to spit is inevitable. Although the product is very safe to consume, I did not feel comfortable ingesting and kept an empty water bottle on hand.

5. Take weekly photos to monitor progress. Visual progress reports are always motivating.

Teeth whitening is officially apart of my beauty regime. What I like most about Smile Brilliant’s at home whitening kit is that it is a third of the quote I was given by my dentist. Smile Brilliant is super affordable! They were gracious enough to offer my readers a discount code of 15% off of the entire store using code ohsnapitsash15. Even more exciting, there’s a GIVEAWAY!
