My First Time using White With Style

In the quest for naturally whiter teeth, I've tried just about every whitening system out there. I'm one of those people that refuses to use photo editing apps to make my teeth whiter so I take care of my pearly whites as best as I can.  For years I've used Crest Whitestrips, but one thing I didn't like about them was how sensitive it made my teeth and gums.  You might remember that I used a carbon powder a while ago and did notice results with the strength of my teeth. Since then, I've cut back on lemon water and upped my flossing game! I've used a wide array of whitening products, but recently I got to try a custom whitening kit from White With Style. A huge thanks to the White With Style team for sending me this amazing kit :) If you haven't heard of a custom whitening kit, it's exactly as it sounds, a kit made from the mold of your teeth. Say whaaaaaat?! My thoughts exactly. Imagine, a whitening system designed for your teeth, and your teeth only. Sounds incredible right?? Not only is this kit fully customized, you can try a peroxide free gel so you don't have to suffer through sensitive teeth and gums for white teeth that shine!


Step One- The first step in creating your mold is to prepare your tray using hot water. It was really easy to make and wasn't messy or cumbersome at all. I liked that I can reuse the tray if I made a mistake. It was by far the easiest teeth whitening mold to make. 


Step Two- Once your molds are set and you have trimmed off the excess plastic, you can use it to start whitening your teeth. Gently place a bit of the teething gel on the mold, being careful not to put too much or else the gel will get on your gums. You might notice some gel on your gums after you push the mold onto your teeth. I used a cotton swab to gently wipe off the excess. I like that you can control how much gel goes into your tray, so you don't have to worry about the gel harming your gums like other products might do.

Step Three- Grab your blue LED light and place it in front of the tray in your mouth. This will activate the gel AKA this is when the magic happens! The gel tastes ok, slightly minty but still a bit like the Crest Whitestrips. I like putting my trays on before bed because you should leave the trays on your teeth for 30 minutes for best results. I'm way too busy during the day so evening teeth whitening works best for me!

I did notice a subtle brightening and I really can't wait to see the long term results. I eat a lot of staining foods and drink a lot of tea (which I'm sad to report can stain your teeth more than coffee--what the heck?!) and I was happy to see that the stains between my teeth have vanished. I got much better results from these custom fitted trays that any other whitening product I've tried. This would work well for everyone since you have full control every step of the way. Since the trays are custom fitted, this would even work for people with crooked or less than perfectly straight teeth :)

If you'd like to learn more about the White With Style system, check out their website at https://whitewithstyle.com/ and for a limited time, use code MONICE28 to get the Sparkle White Professional teeth whitening kit for only $28! It's regularly $269 so that's a steal if you wanted to see professional results at home. 

I love that the White With Style kits are BPA free, vegan, cruelty free, and 99% kosher. If you want to learn more about White With Style's ingredients, you can visit https://whitewithstyle.com/faqs/
