Disclosure: Smile Brilliant provided me with a free kit in exchange for an honest review and I will receive commissions for purchases made through links in this post.  However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have tried the teeth whitening strips that you can find at the drugstore in the past and have had varying success.  I always wondered what difference a professional whitening system could do, but the cost made me think twice.  Plus, extra trips to the dentist did not sound appealing.

Smile Brilliant is an at-home teeth whitening system that comes straight from a dental lab through the mail.  The company offered me a chance to try it out, but I was not eager to have close-ups of my mouth on the internet. However, my husband D is a good sport, and volunteered to try it out!

This is the kit that was sent to us in the mail.

‘The first step is to make impressions of both your upper and lower teeth using the provided paste and impression trays.

The process was fairly simple with the step-by-step instructions that were provided.  I then mailed the molds off to the lab in the provided pre-paid envelope. About a week later, D received his custom-fitted trays.  I received an e-mail when the lab received the molds, and a notification when the trays were done and ready to be shipped to our home.

D followed the directions and wore the trays with the gel for a couple of hours for two weeks at night.

Look at the results:

Before…                                                                                                                         …After!

We were both impressed with the results.  D only experienced a little gum/tooth sensitivity after the second application.  Other than that, it was a painless and seamless process.

Tooth Whitening Gel

When conflict, rebellion, and resentment overwhelm their family, Charlie and Alice are forced to rethink their parenting strategy. In the process, they realize how critical intentionality and focus are when shaping and molding young lives. FamilyLife’s first feature film explores the challenges and joys that come with raising children. Through a journey that unfolds over 50 years, Charlie and Alice discover the unmistakable power of family. Together, they learn that knowing and living by God’s Word is what brings transformation and hope to any family.

I had an opportunity to watch a preview of this movie.  It follows a couple  on their journey from having their first baby to having great-grandchildren!  It was interesting to see them live through different stages of life.  In my own life, I realize how the baby/young child phase went by so quickly.  We are now entering the tween/teenager stage, and I see how our interactions are changing.  I liked how this movie emphasized that spiritual wisdom is more important than academic success and the importance of dads in their kids’ lives.  I found that the part talking about FamilyLife felt too much like a commercial, but I think the overall message of the movie is important for Christians and non-Christians alike.  Due to some mature content, I would not recommend this movie for young children.
