Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. It can make or break that first impression. However if you don’t feel confident about your smile, it can feel a little daunting to just smile all the time. However with the Smile Brilliant Kit, you can smile fearlessly, as they say.
My smile
While I’ve never been someone to necessarily hide my smile, my smile is also not perfect. My teeth aren’t 100% white and I have a stain that I think comes from my days with braces. So when Smile Brilliant reached out to me about trying out their kit, I figured “why not?” Your smile really can never been too brilliant.
Before I started the treatment, my teeth weren’t horrible but they also weren’t perfect.

The Smile Brilliant Kit
Inside my kit I found the substances to create my teeth trays as well as the actual teeth-whitening gel, desensitizing gel and information cards. I love that you they have you create trays to perfectly fit your teeth. Everyone’s teeth are different and it’s clear that they want to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience.
Step 1: Create the mold substance
You basically mix these two together and then put the solution on these trays. Then you bite and you bite hard … or well … firmly. The better you bite, the more accurate your teeth trays will come out. I never thought a blog would would make me bite things. But here I was biting into this blue stuff for the sake of whiter teeth.
This was taken around oh … probably 9-9:30 p.m. Can you tell?
Step 2: send the molds off!
Once the molds are created, you send them off to the company in their pre-labeled envelope.
Then you wait.
Well … in my case, you wait just a tad longer. Overseas shipping takes a little bit longer and it has to go through customs. I wonder what was thought as molds went through US customs.
Step 3: whiten whiten whiten
Once you receive your trays, you can begin with the treatments. The Smile Brilliant Kit comes with these syringes to apply the solution right into the trays. You brush your teeth with just water beforehand and then insert them. You have to leave them in between 45 minutes to three hours. Most of my sessions fell around an hour to an hour and a half. I wish I had three hours free each day to whiten. But with my busy life, that was simply never a reality.
After you whiten, you then clean out and dry the trays. Then you apply the desensitizing gel for 15-20 minutes. This part is important. I didn’t do this a few times because I was either on the go or just super tired. My teeth definitely felt extra sensitive for about the next day. Definitely don’t overlook this step.

Step 4: Wonderfully white teeth.
Don’t I look fabulous here? I mean on the bright side, my teeth really are the stars in this photo. The rest of me … well … I think it had been a long day of teaching.
The struggles
If you decide to whiten your teeth with the Smile Brilliant Kit, make sure that you have time set aside each day. I found that to be one of the most challenging parts. Here in Spain our days are loooooonnng. Monday-Thursday, I’m teaching at a school until about 2 or 2:45 p.m. Then I eat lunch (Spanish lunch time is around 2-3 p.m.). Then I head back out to teach private classes from 4:30-8 or 9 p.m. When I arrive home, dinner is priority number one. Some nights I did whiten around 10 p.m. Other nights I was simply too exhausted and chose sleep. In short, the working day is long here.
So if you choose to whiten your teeth with this kit, set aside a good period of time where you commit to whiten each day. Then you’ll get the results you want. They recommend every day. If that’s not possible,
The benefits
There were so many good things about the product. They really gave clear and concise directions including pictures. This is important as you don’t want to mess up and turn your teeth blue or something. That would be no fun. The results were absolutely amazing as well.
