Coffee is students’ best friends and teeth’s worst enemy! I would be a bad model for you but I finally re-found my white, whiter smile with Smile Brilliant.
A nice smile is a winning business card but some of the things we love to drink and eat stain our teeth with ease. This whitening solution can really brighten you up: Smile Brilliant.
What’s Smile Brilliant?
Smile Brilliant is the maker of a customisable whitening system made in the US, a mini dentistry lab which allows you to whiten your teeth without a dentist’s extra expenses and waiting time. All is done and received in a comfortable environment: your home!
Smile Brilliant: the whitening system
Smile Brilliant whitening system consists of a pair of tailored trays with a set of whitening and desensitizing gel doses. Smile Brilliant is a two-step experience – trays creation and whitening process – and each step just with one kit shipped directly to your door.
The Trays
Smile Brilliant whitening trays are for your at-home impressions and will fit your upper and lower dental arches. They look like Invisalign, thus completely clear, flexible and lightweight but durable. They are so easy to wear that you could forget them!
The Gels
Smile Brilliant whitening and the desensitizing products come in syringes to dose and spread the gels in your trays without waste and mess. Dummy-proof, aren’t they? Both gels have a jelly and dense texture, they don’t drip without control but stay inside the trays to cover and work on your teeth. The desensitizing gel has also an extremely pleasant and refreshing aftertaste!
How to use Smile Brilliant
Each Smile Brilliant set contains all the material for your custom-made trays (2 blue trays, 3 pots of catalyst and 3 pots of base paste), plus whitening gels and desensitizing gels (the amount of syringes depends on your chosen kit) and step-by-step instruction leaflets. The first step to a whiter smile is creating your own dental impressions… Don’t get fooled here: it’s easier than you can ever imagine and I’ve been surprised by that!
The illustrate guides will follow you through this process which is really fast:
- floss and brush your teeth and be sure they are completely clean and free from residues
- mix one pot of catalyst paste (which is white) and one pot of base (the blue paste) and work the dough as Playdoh until you get a blue paste
- put it quickly in your tray (one per time)
- wear it and wait for 2 to 3 minutes to create your impression
- remove it
- let your first impression dry
- repeat for the lower impression.
Voilà! Your impressions are done and ready to be shipped back to the Smile Brilliant lab with the pre-paid envelope included in the kit. After 5 days your custom-made trays are ready and shipped to your door from the States.
The second part is the proper whitening process. For a lasting whitening effect, 7 to 10 sessions are recommended to be repeated 1 or 2 times every 3 months.
No worries! Again, the illustrated guides come in handy and give all the information to safely use the kit and start your journey to a whiter smile. The steps I followed fit my routine well if done before going to sleep…
- brush your teeth with water
- wear the trays with the whitening gel. I suggest starting with a short whitening session of 45 minutes (the max session is 3 hours but it’s too much to start with)
- at the end of the whitening step
- wash your trays with running water and dry them with paper
- brush your teeth with a mild/non-whitening toothpaste (I used Sensodyne to reduce sensitivity)
- wear your trays with the desensitising gel for up to 30 minutes
- remove, wash your trays and refresh your mouth with water.
The immediate result is a fresh breath and… in a couple of sessions, if every day in a couple of days, you’ll see some “brilliant” progressions.
If your guinea pig was able to do it, you can do it alone and that’s a great satisfaction! Overall, you may ask, what are the main pros and cons of whitening at home with SmileBrilliant?
PROS:
- no queue at the dentist,
- complete kit,
- designed for home use,
- custom-fitted trays (shipped to you),
- easy to use,
- quantity of product (gel per syringe),
- lasting effects,
- competitive price,
- good value for more freshness.
CON:
- risk of sensitivity.
When I joined the program I was both excited and concerned: thrilled for this experiment, which is really personal; concerned about possible pain or hassles due to previous sensitivity. I was extremely scared when I approached to create my impressions. The idea of taking them out frecked me out: at the dentist’s, I felt so much pain while he was used to pulling the impression trays off! I’ve taken my impression really quickly and easily, I’ve also done an extra to be sure to get a good ‘sample’ of my smile. My custom trays arrived really quickly, after one week from their creation!

| Before my Smile Brilliant whitening treatment for sensitive teeth |
I felt like a pro when I started the whitening with Smile Brilliant… I wanted to start straight away because I’ve been getting really excited and… in the meantime, I’ve been consuming too much soluble coffee.
I started little by little with a 45-minute session and had no problem at all, then – after 5 days – I tried to reach a 1-hour session but I faced some bothering sensitivity overnight but… Ashley, the creator of Smile Brilliant, has never left me alone and she kept giving me suggestions and tips for my case. I’ve just skipped a couple of sessions, replaced by a simple desensitising treatment before going to bed and the pain vanished. I’ve completed my first whitening session without further problems and these are the results….

| After whitening with Smile Brilliant kit |
I was smiling at the mirror, impressed by how shiny my smile was and how smooth the surface of my teeth was… and it’s still so! I’ve been looking to improve my smile for a long time but going to the dentist was too expensive and time-consuming in Italy. The traditional and more commercial whitening options are rather disappointing: sage leaves, stripes, whitening toothpaste… every time I changed toothpaste, something went wrong, while stripes don’t fit my imperfect smile.
I’ve been pleasantly shocked because it’s all real! It’s so real and uplifting that I’ve also cut my caffeine intake to keep my smile whiter than the snow!
Would I recommend it? If you’ve got my problems (little income, irregular bite, re-constructed teeth and sensitivity), Smile Brilliant can be your solution. It’s a light solution for your wallet as well!
There are also kits for sensitive and no-sensitive teeth, light to heavily stained smiles, starting from 139€. On the website, you’ll find all the information you may need before starting and after whitening with Smile Brilliant, with tips and news; Smile Brilliant Instagram board shows how Smile Brilliant fits into everyone’s daily life!

Yes, Smile Brilliant helped me a lot, my self-confidence and health… all done from the small room #5!
