Teeth Whitening with a Busy Schedule

You’re never fully dressed without a smile!

My smile is honestly my favorite accessory. I do everything I can to keep my smile at its best and its brightest. Ever since my braces were removed in high school, I have been borderline obsessed with keeping my teeth at their best!

These days, finding time to work all of my whitening rituals into my busy schedule is rather hard. I am an architectural designer working towards becoming a licensed Architect, and I am a blogger; both of which are full-time jobs! Working towards licensure means long nights from time to time, and after a long work week, I come home and start drafting the next days post. Life can get pretty hectic!

Along with my busy schedule comes a coffee addiction, of course. However, while I would LOVE to blame the coffee addiction on my schedule, I cannot. I simply love coffee! Living in Seattle, artisan coffee and coffee shops are taking over the city – and I am totally okay with it. I am one of those people who is a completely different person once I have had my coffee! 🙂 Not only does coffee help me start my day, but I genuinely love the smell and the taste and I thoroughly enjoy bouncing from coffee shop to coffee shop, tasting each unique brew.

SO — working during the day and blogging on nights and weekends leaves me little time and energy for self-care. In addition to my busy schedule, with my self diagnosed coffee addiction, I definitely need to stick to whitening! Luckily, I had the opportunity to partner with Smile Brilliant to try their at home teeth whitening kit! This experience was everything I could have asked for!

I have tried whitening strips in the past, but I would never get the results I truly wanted unless I purchased the professional strength strips from the dentist. These strips, while effective, required long term use and left my teeth very sensitive. Since I am not a huge fan of the strips, I researched professional whitening systems involving whitening gel and custom whitening trays I was not surprised to see that price tag was around $400 – $500. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is not the case with Smile Brilliant!

Smile Brilliant is an at home whitening system that allows you to take your custom-fitted teeth impressions, send them back to Smile Brilliant, and receive your whitening trays right back to your front door– no dentist office involved! And the best part?! This system starts at $139! When I was buying whitening strips, I was spending $40 – $50 every couple months for more strips. Smile Brilliant cut my spending on whitening significantly! If you do your research, you will find that this at home whitening system is the real deal, but I am writing this review so you don’t have to! You can read more teeth whitening reviews if you need more convincing 🙂

The whitening trays I received from Smile Brilliant are so comfortable and perfectly fitted to my teeth. White strips were very uncomfortable and made it nearly impossible to have a conversation while I was whitening, not to mention, they left my teeth so sensitive. The custom fitted whitening trays are barely noticeable when you have them on, and the whitening system comes with desensitizing gel to use after you whiten! No joke — I was eating ice cream after my treatments with NO sensitivity. This at home whitening system is seriously amazing! Smile Brilliant provides amazing insight for whitening sensitive teeth! If you have never whitened your teeth but have always been curious, Smile Brilliant has broken down the teeth whitening process for you!
