Let’s be real, us beach babes are always busy and don’t have time to waste. What if I told you I discovered the perfect at home teeth whitening treatment that doesn’t take away from your daily activities? Smile Brilliant does just that. The entire process was painless and quick! I would come home after work, add the whitening gel into my mold and continue with my day. The recommended time for each application is 45 minutes to 3 hours. Time flies so be sure to set a timer on your phone to remind you that time is up! I would honestly forget that I was wearing my tray because they’re so comfortable. I could talk without a problem and spent most of my time wearing the trays doing laundry, blogging, and cooking. I definitely couldn’t do all that with the other treatments I tried prior to finding Smile Brilliant.

Okay merbabes, I know you’re thinking how does Paulina know that this product actually is the best on the market? Well, this isn’t my first attempt on getting my pearly whites back. I started to notice that my teeth were losing their shine and looking far less white than usual (thanks coffee addiction and wine nights). So I went on Groupon to find a deal to do one of those expensive whitening treatments at a dentist office. I totally regret doing this as I walked out of there with a migraine, my teeth feeling extra sensitive, and an overall terrible experience. I won’t name which office I went to in Miami but I will never return. They had me sit in a chair with protective eye wear and a mouth stretcher as a lazer shot at my teeth. The hygienist walked out of the room during my treatment so I was alone. I started to feel my teeth throb in pain and couldn’t even scream for the hygienist to return! To make matters worse after enduring all that the laser treatment didn’t even last long, my teeth felt sensitive for weeks and my smile was back to how it was before the “professional” dentist whitening treatment.

Disappointed, I decided to try Crest’s 3D white luxe professional effects whitening strips. A serious waste of money and time in my opinion. They claim to be no slip and remove 14 years of stains. However, I couldn’t talk or do anything while wearing the strips in fear that they would slide or move off my teeth and tasted awful. Thirty minutes each time for a total of 20 treatments means I pretty much wasted ten hours of my life with these strips. For $67 I expected a more convenience experience and longer lasting effects. I even cut down on my glasses of wine per week and coffee because I really wanted this to work. But it didn’t.

You can imagine my excitement and understand how skeptical I was to try Smile Brilliant. After my experience at the dentist office I wanted something that was simple and easy to do at home. I also didn’t want to further damage my teeth and cause even more sensitivity issues. I expressed my concerns to Smile Brilliant and they sent me the sensitive system. I first received a package containing my molding kit (trays and molding paste), whitening and desensitizing gel. You definitely don’t have to be a dental expert to do the molding, trust me. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to mix the product molding clay quick enough or would mess up. However, Smile Brilliant sends you extra so even if you do mess up your first go around you’re good! As you see the video, you mix the two pastes together and fill in your molding tray. You will want to place your four fingers and place it on your teeth! Do not bite into it. Repeat the process for your lower teeth. Wait for the paste to harden and then ship it off to Smile Brilliant.

I swear if all my packages came in as quick as Smile Brilliant does I would be the happiest online shopper ever. I received my impression and immediately started my first treatment. I brushed my teeth sans toothpaste per instruction and added the whitening gel in the tray. Carefully placed it on my teeth and couldn’t believe how comfortable the impression is to wear. It fit my teeth perfectly and didn’t cut into my gums. I say this because I have Invisalign and unfortunately the retainer rubs against my gums. I was able to move around and do all my activities without compromising my treatment (unlike when I used the Crest strips).

After using Smile Brilliant for just over a month I notice a huge difference. I did the treatments twice a week for three hours. My teeth are back to pearly white! I am completely satisfied with the results and happy to have found a company that cares about its customers. Smile Brilliant put my mind at ease answering all my questions prior to starting my treatment. My sensitive teeth were a big concern of mine as I had done multiple whitening treatments before. If you have sensitive teeth or would like to prevent it from happening, you should check out their article: Tooth sensitivity: causes, solutions, and prevention. It’s very informative and gives a detailed breakdown.

As if you need more of a reason other than my testimonial on why you should choose a fitted teeth whitening tray instead of a strip that slides and moves, you can check out Smile Brilliant‘s article on the Benefits of Choosing Custom Fitted Teeth Whitening Trays. I will never go back to a one size fits all whitening treatment! It doesn’t even make sense because we all are unique, have different tooth positioning, and mouth sizes. Plus, you’ll feel fabulous knowing you have a custom tray just for you *hair flips*

For all my animal loving babes Smile Brilliant is vegan and cruelty free! Before I even voiced my sensitivity concerns I made sure that their products didn’t do animal testing. I have become more conscious of where I shop from and support so knowing the full ingredient list was important to me as it should be for you. Their article, Smile Brilliant’s Teeth Whitening Gel Ingredients, tells you exactly what is in the gels and why. I’m a girl who appreciates a good chart when I see one and love that Smile Brilliant included a pie chart to show the percentages of the listed ingredients.
