Teeth Whitening Tray Kits – $29.00 which includes 2 way shipping:

Smile Brilliant is a dental lab in St. Louis, MO dedicated to making professional teeth whitening affordable for the majority. Dentist will charge $350-$1,000 (in some cities $1,000+) for custom teeth whitening trays; however at Smilebrilliant.com they retail at $89.95. When you visit the dentist for custom teeth whitening trays the assistant will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth from which they create a mold, and then use the mold to make trays that form to your teeth with precision. Some dentist opt to outsource the mold and tray creation to a lab such as Smile Brilliant while others have an assistant do it in office. Either way the entire process takes about 1-2 weeks after they take your impression.

• Those with damaged tooth enamel. When enamel is missing and the tooth’s dentin is exposed the bleaching gel will cause sensitivities
• Expecting mothers or mothers who are breast feeding

Smilebrilliant’s teeth whitening/bleaching gel is composed:

• Glycerin 77.1% (the gel)

Teeth whitening tray creation process:

When you purchase a custom teeth whitening tray creation kit from smilebrilliant.com the kit will arrive in 1-3 business days. Once received you will follow the instructions provided to take your dental impressions (upper and lower). Kits come with 3 sets of impression material in case you make a mistake and need to redo one. After taking your impressions put them into the pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope and mail them back to the Smile Brilliant Lab. You will be notified via email when your impressions have been received (about 1-3 business days) and your trays will be created and shipped within 2-7 business days of receiving them. Once created and shipped back to you an email will be sent with a USPS tracking number. The entire process takes 10-14 days which is roughly the same duration it would take if you went to the dentist.

Step 1: Mix 1 catalyst and 1 base paste together until a solid blue

Step 2: set paste in the impression tray

Step 3: press the tray into teeth so that it covers the gum line

Step 4: Mail Impression to the Smile Brilliant Dental Lab

Step 5: A Smile Brilliant Lab Technician uses the impressions to create a molding of the teeth from which the custom teeth whitening trays are created.

Step 6: Receive your custom teeth whitening trays in the mail within 10 days of shipping them to the lab!

If in your article your article you mention the tray creation process please link to this page.

How to use trays and teeth whitening gel:

When using the whitening/bleaching gel you want to keep in mind that there is no real need to whiten the back side of your teeth. With that being said you want to position the gel in the tray to ensure it only comes in contact with the front surface of each tooth as shown in the image below. I went ahead and highlighted the gel in blue for better visibility.

When inserting the trays onto the teeth you want to minimize the amount that is pushed to the bottom of the tray. With that being said you will drag your teeth from the back side of the tray in a way that presses your teeth directly onto the gel as shown in the image with the teeth.

Avoid putting too much gel into the trays because excess gel will be forced out of the tray and into the mouth causing irritation to the tissues of the mouth. In the event this happens simply wipe away the excess with a tissue.

Keep in mind that one gel syringe is good for about 3-4 full treatments of both upper and lower teeth.

The post Site Improvement: International Shipping Clearly Marked appeared first on Smile Brilliant.

Yes, Smile Brilliant does ship internationally and to my knowledge we ship to all countries (however there’s a chance we may exclude a few. To see which countries we ship too simply add a product to cart and select “check out.” Prior to asking you to fill out your billing, shipping, and payment information it will ask you to select a country as well as inform you that additional charges apply to international shipments.

If you reference to the image below I have displayed 2 screen shots of the pre-checkout page for both the custom teeth whitening trays plus gel as well as the LED tooth whitening system.

The international shipping charge for the custom bleaching trays is $29.95. Keep in mind this includes 2 way shipping. We ship the initial kit which cost around $20-$30 depending on the country and then when you return your impressions to us we must ship your completed teeth whitening trays back too you which cost approximately another $10. In some cases we actually lose money on the shipping.

The international shipping on the LED teeth whitening system is set at $24.95. Shipment of this tends to cost us around $19 and then we tack on an additional $5.95 for handling fees.

Prior to taking your impressions tell yourself “it’s easy” because it is in fact quite simple. All you must do is mix the two paste together until a solid light blue, set impression material in the tray, and press the tray into your teeth deep enough to cover all teeth and your gum line.

Tip 1: Mix paste within 45 seconds. When the catalyst and base paste are mixed together they react by hardening. The hardening time is estimated to be 3 minutes. The sooner you get the tray in your mouth the better your impression will be because as the paste hardens it becomes more difficult to get a deep enough impression.

Tip 2: Press evenly and hold steady. On occasion we will receive a customer’s impression and the molars and/or front teeth did not go deep enough into the impression material. To ensure you take a deep impression place your thumbs on the ends of the tray and your fingers on the front of the tray and handle as you press directly up.

Tip 3: Massage around gums. Pressing the tray deep enough so the impression material flows beyond your gum line will help us create a better set of teeth whitening trays. Massage the overflowing impression material around your gums for a snug, more precise dental impression. When we create your teeth whitening trays we prefer leaving an extra flap that extends further than the tooth line to capture teeth whitening gel that flows beyond the gum line.

Tip 4: Leave impression material in mouth until hard. The instructions say to leave in for 3 minute however, leaving it in a little longer will help prevent altering the impression.

Other info:

• Be sure to fill out the return card (NOTE it does NOT commit you to the extra gel purchase unless you sign the side with the offer.)
• Only include 2 impressions in the return envelope, others wise it will exceed the weight of the prepaid postage. If you took 3 and are indecisive as to which to send you can include an additional USPS stamp to cover the required postage.

• 1 teeth whitening pen with brush tip applicator (4 mil of whitneing gel)
• 1 brush
• 1 lip protector tray
• 100% satisfaction gurantee!

Step 1: Brush Teeth

Cleaning the surface of the teeth prior to whitening will allow the gel to come in contact with the stubborn stains un-removable by brushing your teeth.

Cleaning will also help avoid white splotches caused from inconsistent bleaching of the enamels surface.

Step 2: Apply Gel

Turn the end of the whitening pen repeatedly until gel begins to excrete from the brush and then apply evenly on the frontal surface of your front upper and lower teeth.

Try and limit the surface area to that which the protective trays cover to limit the amount of gel that comes in contact with tissues of the mouth.

Step 3: Insert Mouth Guard

The whitening gel is hydrogen peroxide base which means it will irritate tissues so you want to use the protective trays to reduce contact. Rest assured the gel will NOT harm you and some will likely come in contact with your cheeks and gums, the goal is simply to reduce its contact.

Be sure to latch the two trays together.

Step 4: Insert LED Light

The LED light serves as an accelerator which means it will cause the gel to react quicker.

If you would rather not use the LED light you will still achieve the same level of whiteness; however it is recommended you prolong the treatment if you opt out of the light. Leave the light in mouth for 20-45 minutes and prolong the whitening treatment for a total 30-120 minutes.

Expectations:

1-4 shades whiter

Whitening Duration:

45 minutes – 2 hours daily (1-4 weeks)

Sensitivities: Your teeth or gums may become sensitive. This is common while using products containing peroxide and it is not harmful. In case of increased sensitivity, reduce usage time and/or frequency until this problem stops. Discontinue whitening session if strong pain occurs.
