Snow Teeth Whitening Kit Review

Ingredients

All of Snow's teeth whitening systems use whitening serum and a light-accelerated mouthpiece. You can choose from the regular strength gel or the maximum strength gel if you want faster results. Because both formulas are proprietary, the company does not share their exact ingredients. However, the formulas are comprised of natural photocatalysts and potassium nitrate to prevent teeth sensitivity. Both formulas are available without a dentist's prescription.

Both the Snow Teeth Whitening All-in-One At-Home System and the New Patented Dual Light Wireless Self-Sanitizing Snow Teeth Whitening System employ a one-size-fits-all mouthpiece with built-in LED lights to help speed up your results. The All-in-One Kit has a wired mouthpiece that is powered by your phone, laptop, tablet, or other USB device,  while the wireless system does not need to be plugged in for power. The wireless system is waterproof and self-sanitizing, so this may be the better option if you intend to use the whitening kit frequently and don't want to worry about germs building up.

Effectiveness

The Snow Teeth Whitening Kits have received largely positive reviews online, including some endorsements from high-profile athletes. The company claims that most users begin to see noticeably whiter, brighter teeth in as little as three days, but your results will depend on how long you wear the trays for at a time and how stained your teeth were to begin with.

The manufacturer claims that its special formula will whiten teeth without causing the sensitivity that plagues traditional hydrogen or carbamide peroxide whitening kits. Some users have backed up this claim, but the company also sells a tooth desensitizing gel as an optional add-on, which suggests that at least some users still experience sensitivity while using the product. If you know you have sensitive teeth, it may be worth investing in the desensitizing gel, which is sold separately.

Ease of Use

The Snow whitening systems are relatively easy to use and you can read the user manual online before you buy to get a sense of how to operate the product. You apply the gel from the teeth whitening wand and paint it on your teeth, then put the mouthpiece in your mouth and wear it for 9 to 30 minutes at a time. The manufacturer recommends using the product for 21 days straight and then taking a 1 to 3 day break for best results.

The short, flexible wear time makes these kits great options for those with tight schedules or those who struggle with whitening trays meant to be worn overnight. While it would be ideal if Snow customized the mouthpiece to the user's teeth, no complaints were found online about the mouthpiece not fitting properly.

Price

Snow whitening kits are not cheap, so they're not a great fit if you only need to whiten your teeth by a shade or two. However, if you'd like to whiten your teeth considerably and you intend to use the kit often, it may be worth the investment. The kits are backed by a 5-year warranty, so if the LED light or the tray breaks at any point during this time, the company will replace it free of charge. Just remember to register your product after you buy it so you can take advantage of the warranty.

Snow’s teeth whitening kits do include several months worth of serum upon arrival. The refills themselves are not that expensive, averaging around $25 for a refill set that is meant to last three months. The high upfront cost of the kit is largely due to the other materials included with the system, like the anti-aging lip balm that comes with the wireless system.
