I'm a fan of the HiSmile Teeth Whitening System, so of course I purchased the 'oh so similar' Pop Smile Teeth Whitening Kit. Like the HiSmile whitening solution, Pop Smile whitening gel is peroxide-free. The product is gentle on your teeth and won't cause sensitivity. The solution contains 99% natural, 'mouth-friendly ingredients'. Cranberry, peppermint, aloe and chamomile (to name a few). Sodium Bicarbonate is the key ingredient - You're essentially soaking your teeth in Baking Soda. I love Baking Soda. I use Arm and Hammer Baking Soda tooth paste daily, and once and while, I'll brush my teeth with Baking Soda powder for a super-exfoliating cleanse.

The kit includes a six bulb mini LED device, two whitening trays, three whitening gels, three pre-treatment swabs and a color chart (I like that). Here's where the system differs from HiSmile - the trays have to be soaked in hot water, softened and placed in mouth to mould. Once you've created a fitted mould, you remove the tabs, apply a small amount of whitening gel, and comfortably fit the trays onto your teeth. The LED device 'should' sit nicely in front of the trays. Hmm.. You gotta sit still and concentrate in order to keep that device in place. The HiSmile tray/LED device conveniently attach (extra points for HiSmile). The Pop Smile kit also includes pre-treatment swabs to be used the first three applications. You should use this product nine consecutive times (not sure why you don't use the swabs nine times). Seems like an unnecessary step. Other than those two significant differences the kits are similar and give similar results.

You won't get super-white teeth from either of these solutions, but your teeth will be slightly brighter and with NO sensitivity. I'd say my teeth were two shades lighter after one week of use. I also use Zoom and Opalescence (peroxide based systems) and LOVE the drastic change in color. These solutions do however take longer per session, and will most likely leave your teeth feeling sensitive. I'd suggest a super-whitening in-office treatment and HiSmile or Pop Smile for upkeep.

I'm not sure which whitening system came first (HiSmile or Pop Smile), but clearly one copied the other.. My final say - HiSmile is easier to use.

Repost - The HiSmile Teeth Whitening System is easy, quick and kinda fun. The solution is a 'baking soda' gel-form (minimizing tooth sensitivity). The kit comes with an attachable mouth tray and LED light for optimal results. Just ten minutes a day for a week and you should see a significant change in color. Is it as effective as other 'peroxide based' brands (Zoom, Opalescence..)? No, but it takes less time, is less harsh on your teeth and you will see a difference. I have very white teeth to begin with, due to 'in-office' bleaching, but am using this system for maintenance and am happy with the results (especially the 'ten' minutes a day).

An Instagram sensation - the HiSmile Teeth Whitening System is easy, quick and kinda fun. What separates this system from others? The formula doesn't contain peroxide.

The HiSmile teeth whitening kit includes an LED light with an attachable mouth tray, three HiSmile gels, and results guide. It retails for $59.99 and each HiSmile gel last two whitenings, so you get six in total. Additional HiSmile gels are available in a pack of three and retail for $29.99. I've been using the device for over a month and the LED light is still going, the tray is still perfectly intact and I am loving the easy whitening process. 

HiSmile also has a yummy Coconut Whitening Mouthwash - the box contains five 30 ml tubes, containing the same sodium bicarbonate blend (baking soda). Squeeze a third of the solution into your mouth and squish it around for two minutes. The formula is quite thick, but liquifies in your mouth and the yummy coconut flavor is subtle. The mouthwash retails for $29.99. HiSmile offers a 35% discount on gels and mouthwash if you subscribe - delivery every 30 days.

Your smile and the appearance of your teeth should be at the top of your beauty routine list. Drugstore whiteners will make a small difference in the color of your teeth, but if you want immediate, drastic results, try Opalescence. I don't think you can purchase this whitener over the counter. You must visit your dentist to have custom trays made to fit your teeth perfectly and purchase Opalescence from your dental office. 

The trays are soft rubber and easy to wear. Your dentist will tell you to try thirty minutes wearing the solution, but if you have sensitivity, decrease the time you wear the whitener. You only need a small amount of the gel on each tooth. If you applied to much of the whitener and it seeps onto your gums, they will burn and turn white. Don't worry, this is temporary. Your gums will return to their natural color within a few hours. I suggest using Sensodyne while whitening your teeth; it helps with the sensitivity.

You will see immediate results with Opalescence whitening. Your teeth will become brighter with each application.
