Colgate’s LED teeth-whitening kit is reportedly gentler on sensitive gums than gels and strips.
Read the full review, here.
What arrived was a futuristic-looking mouthpiece, a gel-whitening pen, and handful of charging cables.
My first thought was, How, exactly, does this work?
Thankfully, there are dentists to answer that.
How does the Colgate Optic White ComfortFit Teeth Whitening Kit work?
…
The LED itself does not whiten your teeth, dentistDavid Chen, DDS, explains.
Now, dont be afraid of the word decomposeDr.
Chen assures me my teeth arent going to fall out of my head.
So, unlike traditional teeth whitening strips, the LED whitening essentially camouflages stains and discoloration.
Its moldable, so it fits the shape of your mouth perfectly.
Through the app, I also gain points that I can redeem in exchange for real products.
Then, I waited the recommended 15 seconds before popping the LED strip in my mouth.
I was pleasantly surprised that there was a difference from the first photo I took.
I even noticed that my once tingly tooth felt fine.
Before I knew it, Day 3 came, and my teeth looked whiter.
Notdrasticallywhiter, but a bit sparklier.
By Days 4-7, though, it felt like my results had plateaued.
The photos I were taking didnt look at difference at the day before.
It really wasnt until Day 10 that I realized how much progress had been made.
After my final treatment, I put my pre-treatment photo side-by-side with my newest result.
My jaw fell open as I realized just how far my teeth had come.
Were they as white as a paper towel?
But, they were significantly whiter than Ive seen them in ages.
Suffice to say, Im glad I trusted the process.
Fortunately, I was able to just pull them out.
The app could also use some improvement.
Turns out, you cannot have completed two sessions in the same calendar day.
