Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Kit Review

Ingredients

The Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system employs a 22% carbamide peroxide gel, which is one of the most effective teeth whitening agents available. The quantity is sufficiently strong to whiten teeth quickly, but it's possible that it could cause temporary teeth sensitivity among those who are prone to it. Fortunately, when you choose your package, you can select a sensitive teeth option, if you prefer. These kits include an additional Tooth Desensitizing Gel to help reduce any discomfort that may arise from using the teeth whitening product.

Smile Brilliant is also one of the only at-home teeth whitening kits that offers custom trays that mold to your teeth. The company sends you the equipment you need to take a custom impression of your mouth. Then, you send this back to the lab and they create trays based on this mold. These custom trays provide the best results because they fit perfectly in your mouth and won't slide around like some one-size-fits-all models.

Effectiveness

The Smile Brilliant System has received mostly positive feedback from users who have tried both the Sensitive and Non-Sensitive Systems. It currently boasts a 4.7 out of 5 rating from Google-verified customers and ratings on the customer's website are similar. Even those who regularly drink teeth-staining drinks like coffee and wine saw a noticeable improvement in their teeth's color after just a few uses.

While Smile Brilliant's teeth whitening system is not American Dental Association (ADA) approved, its ingredients are well known to the organization and considered safe and effective, so you shouldn't have any concerns regarding the safety of this teeth whitening system.

Ease of Use

It takes a little more effort to get started with the Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system than it does for many other teeth whitening products. First, you must wait for the company to send you your kit. Then, you have to take your impressions and send them back to the company and wait for it to send you a tray. All of this can take a week or more, so it's not an ideal system if you need to whiten your teeth quickly.

But once you have your custom trays, the system is simple to use. You just fill the trays with the included gel and wear them for the allotted time, then remove them and rinse your teeth. The manufacturer recommends beginning with 45-minute to one-hour sessions to start and building up to three hours if your teeth can handle it. This is quite a bit longer than many other teeth whitening systems, and you may prefer a faster product if you can't set aside an hour or two for whitening each day.

Price

The Smile Brilliant whitening system is surprisingly affordable given that it includes custom trays. Some one-size-fits-all whitening systems can cost upwards of $200, so the Smile Brilliant product is a steal. 

Smile Brilliant offers three different packages each for sensitive and non-sensitive teeth. The price break down is as follows:

Non-Sensitive

Sensitive

*All standard domestic shipping is free, and even covers shipping impressions back to the lab. Smile Brilliant is also able to ship worldwide, the price will depend on the country. 

For the T9 systems you can pay in installments over three months. The exact price you'll pay depends on how much whitening gel you purchase with the kit and whether you choose the Sensitive or Non-Sensitive option. You can choose between packages that have nine, 18 or 27 teeth whitening applications included, depending on how much you feel you need. The Sensitive packages are a little more expensive because they also include the tooth desensitizing gel.

When you've used up your whitening or tooth desensitizing gel, you can purchase more through the company's website, but these are more expensive than many comparable teeth whitening gel refills. If you're on a budget, your best bet is to buy a larger amount of gel syringes when you first purchase your kit so you don't have to buy refills as often.
