Seriously, over the years I have tried everything to get a whiter smile. I am a natural redhead so have naturally yellow coloured teeth.

When I was younger I used to be really embaressed about it and would try not to smile exposing my teeth.

However then bleaching came around. I tried very expensive bleaching trays which were especially fitted to my mouth. They were messy to use and you often felt you were swallowing the bleach which is not a good idea.

For the past 5 years I have been to bright smile I have now has three treatments. It is expensive but if you hated the colour of your teeth as much as I did , its worth it. You can also get deals so dont pay more than $350.

My advice if you are going to get it done ( I don't work for them and they do not give you this advice) go to your hygenist before and make sure your teeth are really clean. Brite smile tell you not to eat anything that would stain a T-shirt for 24 hrs. I spoke to a friends dad who is a dentist and he said do this for up to a month as the teeth are still stainable. So if you like cranberry juice drink it through a straw and be careful what you eat for up to a month. You might also drop a few pounds as well as gaining a fabulous new smile!

Brite smile is good , it does work and also works on some people better than others (so you dont have to keep paying for top ups.)

You can get top ups, pens and toothpaste etc. It also does improve your looks greatly and people who see you don't know why you look so much better. However I think if you have it too much it strips the enamel from your teeth so you have to be careful and sensible for the sake of vanity.
