PMID: 23493413; PMCID: PMC3573376. I used smile white whitening and it’s the best whitening system I’ve used, my teeth were super white after the first use!! I’ve previously used HiSmile and it didn’t work at all, but with SmileWhite pro whitening I got the pearly white smile I was after. Would highly recommend!” LED gel kit: The LED teeth whitening light won’t make your teeth whiter, but it will accelerate the teeth whitening gel and make it more effective at breaking down tough stains. If you don’t have the custom-made tray created to your exact mouth shape, the LED light is good for reducing the amount of time the gel has to stay in your mouth.

The gel also contains hydroxyapatite, a mineral that’s found in teeth and is in some toothpastes to remineralise teeth when they’ve been damaged. The idea of including it in a whitening kit is that it helps repair any damage done during the whitening process. Hismile is another popular kit that includes this protective ingredient. If you regularly drink tea, coffee, red wine and other staining foods and drinks, switching to a whitening toothpaste can help stop the build up of everyday stains. They can generally take a few weeks to start seeing results." Hydrogen peroxide is a common whitening agent used across various traditional products. It is irradiated by precise laser wavelengths that thermocatalyse the peroxide and cause it to release free radicals. These penetrate the tooth structure and lead to an oxidation reaction, breaking down the organic molecules into smaller, colourless compounds and thus whitening the colour of the tooth. [iv]

The recommended treatment course is still six days, but you should get more than that from this kit since it contains more gel and has a more economical application system.

To whiten teeth, the Smile White formula uses a combination of 16% carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. It has gone through rigorous testing and been found to cause absolutely no damage to gums or dental bone structure.

Harder than stains but softer than enamel, this can be used to remove staining from the teeth without damaging the tooth surface in any way. Studies have found hydrated silica to effectively demonstrate a whitening effect from just 3 days of use. [xi] Helping patients achieve that billion-dollar smile xi] Cho MJ, Shin SC, Chung SY.

That makes it tough to measure how successful the kits are.

There are various substances derived from nature that can be used for whitening effects. Papain, for example, is an interesting enzyme found in raw papaya fruit. It disrupts the biofilm on the teeth and gums, helping to dislodge bacteria and staining compounds. In doing so, the enzyme increases the amount of light that is reflected off the tooth, hence making it appear lighter and brighter. Bromelain – an enzyme extracted from the juice and stem of the pineapple – has a similar impact on the dental biofilm. Studies have found products containing papain and bromelain to provide significantly better luminosity and stain removal compared to those that don’t. [viii] She is a big fan of their products in general, but puts the whitening kit in position #3 because of the price. She also says the results “aren't as instant” as with some of the other whitening products she uses. Price ★★☆☆☆ (2/5 stars) You’ll have no problem getting to grips with this easy-to-follow and exceptionally well-presented kit, provided you follow the straightforward instructions. The non-peroxide gel has been clinically tested and it doesn’t feel or smell as though you might be doing your mouth harm, which can be the case with some kits at this price range. That makes it a good option for those with sensitive teeth (although don’t use it if you haven’t gone to the dentist in a long time). In fact, it has a surprisingly pleasant aroma and you can see it taking effect after just one week, provided you use it daily. But you’ll need to avoid the likes of coffee, tea, curry and smoking during that time.

Smile White Pro Whitening provides custom whitening with bespoke trays and two in-office visits with a partnering cosmetic dentist. The fact that your treatment is supervised by a licensed dentistmeans that this system allows you to get safe professional whitening at home. Billion Dollar Smile use a lot of natural ingredients in their products and proudly say that everything is vegan. It’s worth noting that the company aren’t certified under Cruelty Free International’s Leaping Bunny programme, which is a gold standard of vegan-friendly products. Despite the relative success of peroxide-based compounds used in tooth whitening, there remains some debate over their safety. The free radicals released during the process have been associated with increased sensitivity and pulp damage. [v] Hydrogen peroxide has also been linked to soft tissue alterations, gentotoxicity, cytotoxicity and gingival irritation. One study demonstrated that pro-inflammatory alterations can be detected in samples of gingival crevicular fluid, [vi] postulating that the higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide applied, the greater the soft tissue inflammation, especially at pulp level. Hydrogen peroxide has also been associated with demineralisation. This seems to be particularly apparent in already demineralised dentition, although even in healthy enamel, the whitening agent could cause negative effects to a depth of up to 20 µm. [vii] Natural alternatives Overall, results are mixed. Some people see quite a difference after their six-day treatment, while others see none at all.

Alternatives to Billion Dollar Smile Whitening Kits The mere mention of teeth whitening can produce fear in man,y though, as they imagine cheap, ineffective treatments that do little more than increase sensitivity. The other side of it is exorbitantly expensive surgical treatments that only the likes of Simon Cowell can afford. Other ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium perborate, activated charcoal or even coconut oil offer a more natural alternative, although these are usually considered less effective, as they mainly only remove surface stains. With regards to a possible substitute for peroxide, phthalimido-peroxy-caproic acid – or PAP as it is more affectionately known – is a powerful oxidising agent. The difference between this and peroxide is that PAP does not release free radicals. As such, it is not associated with the tooth sensitivity, gingival irritation or demineralisation that peroxide has been linked with. [ix] This means that it breaks down stains without any potential side effects, providing a win-win for patients and professionals alike. In addition to its enhanced safety characteristics, PAP has also been shown to outperform 6% hydrogen peroxide when it comes to stain removal and tooth shade improvement. [x]With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work. So what's in teeth whitening toothpastes and do they actually work? Dr Richard Marques BDS, of Doctor Richard London, said: "The good news is, teeth whitening toothpastes on the whole actually do work. They contain active ingredients such as silica or pyrophosphates, which lift stains and help to brighten the shade of the teeth. Pre-made tray: This is the poor man’s version of the custom lightening tray – in that the process is the same, but the tray isn’t fitted to the exact shape of your mouth. Provided you can cover the entire surface area of your teeth with your tray, it’s a good compromise. If your teeth are a little crooked, though, you may not get an even result. In today’s appearance-driven society, cosmetic dental procedures like tooth whitening remain in-demand. In the UK, cosmetic dentistry in general is predicted to rise by 5% annually until 2026. [ii] Globally, tooth whitening alone is estimated to be worth more than USD 6.86 billion and is projected to rise to USD 11.66 billion by 2030.
