Taking care of my smile is important to me. I paid thousands for my straight teeth as an adult because my family couldn’t afford orthodontia as a child. Smile Brilliant is helping me keep my teeth looking good in two ways: with its night guard and teeth whitening system.
Why I’m Using a Smile Brilliant Night Guard
For the past two years, I’ve been grinding and clenching my teeth, especially when I sleep. It’s something I have been concerned about, and my dentist recommended using a night guard. Smile Brilliant lets you order a custom-fit night guard from the comfort of your own home in three easy steps:
- Order an impression kit for your custom sleep guard.
- Follow the directions provided in the kit to take your own impressions. You can do an impression of either your top or lower teeth. I chose to do my lower teeth because that’s where I feel the effects of grinding my teeth in my sleep. The process takes about 15 minutes and is easy to follow. You even get extra impression material in case you mess up.
- Send the kit back to the lab using the provided pre-paid postage and you’ll get your new custom dental guard soon! It takes the lab about three to five business days.
I’ve been wearing the night guard every night since receiving it more than a month ago. I find the night guard to be more comfortable than one I previously used. It has helped me stop clenching my teeth in my sleep and prevented my jaw pain. The dental guard will last for three to 12 months, depending on the severity of the teeth grinding.
The night guard comes in its own case, so it’s easy to take it with you when you travel and storage it when it’s not being used. If you ever lose your night guard, you can reorder one because your impression is kept on file.
Using the Teeth Whitening System
Another priority for me has been whitening my teeth. You may recall in the past I reviewed Smile Brilliant’s custom-fitted whitening system and was VERY pleased with the results.
I noticed recently that I need whitening again, so I turned to Smile Brilliant. I still have a way to go but I have seen an improvement in how my teeth look since I started using the whitening system.
The whitening kit comes with teeth whitening gel (dentist-strength 22% Carbamide Peroxide in 3 ml syringes) and desensitizing gel (in sensitive systems) to use after whitening, as well as custom-fit trays and a case. Smile Brilliant has six options for whitening, depending on your stain level and whether you have sensitive or non-sensitive teeth. I have not had any issues with sensitivity while using this whitening gel.
Have whiter teeth has made me feel more confident, especially as I am showing my face more on social media and during work meetings at my new job.
The process for ordering the whitening system is similar to the night guard:
- Order an impression kit for your teeth whitening kit.
- Follow the directions provided in the kit to take your own impressions. The process takes about 15 minutes and is easy to follow. You even get extra impression material in case you mess up.
- Send the kit back to the lab using the provided pre-paid postage and you’ll get your new custom dental guard soon! It takes the lab about three to five business days.
Taking care of my dental health is important to me, not just for looks. In addition to visiting the dentist regularly, getting a night guard has helped me in attaining that goal. I like that I can whiten my teeth at any time during the workday. I wear them for about 45 minutes each time so far.
Smile Brilliant’s lab-direct process makes achieving professional results at an affordable price easy. In the last few years since I’ve tried the whitening system, they’ve expanded their line of oral health products to include something for everyone. Smile Brilliant also has other products to help you get your best smile: electric toothbrushes, water flossers, plaque highlighters, dental probiotics, retainer cleaning tablets, and enamel armor. The water flosser helps you floss teeth more effectively and comfortably using targeted water pressure. Plaque Highlighters are for kids and adults and they use temporary oral dye to show areas plaque is gathering so it can be removed by good brushing. Oral Probiotics replace healthy microbiome after brushing to repopulate with good bacteria for optimal oral health.
