My Favorite At Home Teeth Whitening System (that actually works)
Being a mom means little sleep, and little time to focus on myself. Two things that take away from our own well-being. But life doesn’t have to be that way. As mothers, we shouldn’t have to put our well being on hold to take care of our families. We should be able to do both and not feel guilty about it.
Since becoming a mother, I have found that I tend to take care of everyone else first and by the time I get to myself I’m so tired that I would rather take a nap. A few habits that I have picked up to try and make it through my day are drinking coffee, soft drinks, and at night I try to wind down with a glass of red wine. Just these few things alone can wreak havoc on your teeth.
I look back at pictures from when my husband and I got married and I notice how beautiful, pearly white, and healthy my teeth were. Bad dietary habits have turned my teeth yellow and made them dull. So when smile brilliant sent me their teeth whitening kit I was beyond excited to get back the beautiful pearly whites I once confidently showed off.
I had no idea I could professionally whiten at home
Up until Smile Brilliant contacted me, I didn’t realize that I was able to use a professional teeth whitening system right at home. I have only been familiar with whitening strips & charcoal toothpaste that can be purchased at the grocery store. These are the only 2 ways I have whitened my teeth previous to using Smile Brilliants whitening system. While those were temporary fixes, they also didn’t get my teeth nearly as white as Smile Brilliant’s system did.
How the Process Works
To get started, Smile Brilliant will send you everything you need for the entire process. Before starting the whitening process you first have to make your impressions and send them in to be fitted for your trays. Step by step instructions are provided in the kit so you know exactly what to do; a quick mix of the two putties and your ready to make your impressions. Once you have finished the impressions, mail them in and within a week your trays will be ready to use.
I personally loved the way the trays fit my teeth. The tray fits snug to your teeth and is not bulky at all. One of my favorite aspects of the tray is that I was still able to hold conversations with people while whitening my teeth. Another benefit of the tray is that it does not slip and slide all over your mouth like whitening strips do. This allows for the whitening gel to stay in place and keep your teeth fully covered resulting in a more effective whitening session.
The whitening agent comes in a tube that you squeeze into the tray each time and the benefit of this method is that you are able to control the amount of product used for each whitening session. When I use strips I always feel like the amount of product on each strip is much less than what I am able to use with a tray. The whitening agent actually penetrates the pours of your teeth to remove long-term stains.
My schedule is too busy to find time to whiten
I used to tell myself “I don’t have time to whiten my teeth” or “I’ll whiten my teeth later” just to be disappointed in myself that I would never end up getting to it. Smile Brilliant’s at home teeth whitening system is incredibly easy to incorporate into your daily routine. One of my favorite parts about their teeth whitening system is how easy it was to fit into my busy schedule.
Things I did while I whitened
I started whitening my teeth at night before bed. This is the best time to whiten because the pores of your teeth are still slightly opened and able to absorb any foods/drinks you have after whitening. You don’t have to worry about this when you whiten before going to bed since you won’t be eating/drinking. I also whitened my teeth while watching a movie with both of the girls. Like I said earlier, the trays are not bulky so I was still able to interact and talk with my kids while we watched movies or enjoyed play time. My husband and I were able to squeeze in a date night and I found it so easy to whiten my teeth while showering, and putting on makeup as well. What I loved most about being able to incorporate this small task into my day is the feeling that I am doing something to make myself feel good.
Whitening made me smile with more confidence
In my opinion, physical and mental health work hand in hand and while I fully believe we shouldn’t base our self worth on appearance, every woman loves to look in the mirror and see her best self. At the end of the day, if I am walking around the house and see a beautiful confident white smile when I pass in front my mirror, that one smile will change my entire day for the better. When you’re a mom juggling multiple kids and multiple schedules, its small things like this that can help keep your sanity in check haha!
