Swab whitener
First... I purchased these directly from the manufacturer - thus it doesn't say "verified" purchase for me. I went to the manufacturer because I wanted to try a smaller set (1 month set) which was not offered on Amazon when I purchased it.
1. A "one month supply" is really only a one WEEK supply - the "effects" are supposed to last one month. Misleading to say the least. Should say it's a ONE WEEK supply.
2. I took pictures that show NO difference to my eye. NOTE: I used exactly as described on instructions. ALSO... my front, top 4 teeth are 15 year old porcelain overlays. Supposedly this system is safe AND effective on dental work as well as natural teeth. I didn't see it.
3. It is messy and a two step process... Tube # 1 is the a super stain treater and then tube #2 which you apply after using tube #1. The pic I have included was after tube #2. NOTE: The tubes themselves were a serious pain... most of the time they were extremely difficult to get open even with "careful bending" per instruction. I think I had ONE tube that actually opened without considerable force, which causes the swab to be displaced making it more difficult to apply the treatment. They also include a tube that you are to use while you are out and about and have eaten or had something to drink that could be potentially staining. It has a soft brush like tip.
4. Initially the solution didn't really effect me one way or the other, however by the end of the 7 days my gums were very sensitive. I have a sonic toothbrush with an all purpose name brand toothpaste and brushed my teeth prior to each treatment, which I chose to do in the mornings.
5. It is obviously a peroxide formula of some sort. You can taste it. With a bit of mint or something mixed in... but there is no hiding the peroxide flavor.
6. In the end, photos don't lie. I don't see any improvement at all. Photo number 1 is before... Feb 17... Photo number 2 is Feb 23. The rest were photos I would like to see if I were considering a purchase. Hope it helps.
In my opinion these are a waste of time AND money. I included the photos so you could make your own decision. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful, but honestly, I will not be buying these again either from the manufacturer or from Amazon.
