For 2016 my sister & I decided that we would do a little self improvement and whiten our teeth. My sister is a serious coffee/tea drinker and I have some minor staining on my teeth from medication so we figured that whitening our teeth and brightening our smiles was the perfect way to refresh our look for the the new year.
I was really excited when the nice people from Smile Brilliant offered to send us custom fitted trays and whitening gels to help us with our New Year's Plan. Prior to Smile Brilliant custom fitted trays for whitening would have cost over $500 and required multiple trips to the dentist, but with Smile Brilliant you can get custom fitted trays starting at just $119.95 and you don't even have to leave your house!
I'm sure by now you're wondering exactly how all of this works! Well, Smile Brilliant sends you a super easy kit in the mail to make your dental impressions; I'm not going to lie my sister and I had some good laughs during this process. After you're done making your impressions and you let them dry, you send them into Smile Brilliant and in a few short weeks they mail you your custom fitted trays to use with the whitening gel sent in the original kit. For a more indepth look at the process check out this video!
Once it's time to really start, the whitening the process is fairly easy; basically you just put the whitening gel in the trays (top and bottom), wipe off saliva from your teeth (which is very important!), and insert the trays leaving them on anywhere from fifteen minutes to three hours. I have sensitive teeth so I could only leave the gel on for a max of fifteen minutes, but my sister was able to leave hers on for two to three hours at a time. My favorite part of the kit though was the desensitizing gel that you use after you finish with the whitening gel, it not only helps with sensitivity (a lot!), but it helps to rehydrate your enamel.
We used the whitening system for about a month and were both very happy with our results. Our teeth are whiter, brighter, and stain free! In the past I've used Crest whitening products, but my teeth always end up becoming incredibly sensitive from them, which did not happen with Smile Brilliant. Not to mention the results from Smile Brilliant are definitely much better then the results I got from using the Crest strips. Next to the awesome whitening job, the fact that my teeth did not become sensitive and painful was the best part about this whitening system!

I hadn't see my sister in a few weeks while she was using the whitening kit and when she came over I noticed how good her teeth looked right away! If you need more proof about how great Smile Brilliant is, check out more testimonials here.
