I'm really concerned about my yellow teeth.....😖 Recommended products for [home whitening] that I want to continue using every day.

Having white and beautiful teeth is important.

Teeth whitening that you absolutely want to do before your wedding.

When your teeth are white and beautiful, it gives an impression of cleanliness, your smile shines even brighter, and I believe everyone in a room of 100 people will have a positive impression. (Conversely, yellow teeth can lead to the opposite impression.)

Moreover, brides often have pictures and videos taken up close during the reception, right...? At the high table, for example.

Dental care is a must for bride beauty.

I looked into self-whitening

Taking care of your teeth is not just about brushing them every day with whitening toothpaste.

There are stains and discoloration that cannot be removed with a toothbrush, so whitening is necessary.

There are different types of whitening, and I think everyone already knows this: there's office whitening done by dentists and home whitening that you can do at home.

Another type is dual whitening, which combines office whitening and home whitening.

In this article, I will introduce in detail about the [home whitening] that you can easily do at home.

With LED irradiation＊

Self-whitening features a method where you use a dedicated LED light to break down and remove stains and discoloration on your teeth.

Since it's for home use, naturally, the irradiation power and bleaching effect of the agents differ from those done at a dentist’s office.

However, by continuing to use it every day, you can easily and affordably aim for smooth, bright white teeth while still achieving a genuine effect.

Since you can do it at home, it might even link to motivation for your other diet and beauty routines? That’s something to look forward to.

From here, I’ll pick up some recommended self-whitening products.

① Super White LV2

“Super White LV2” is a home product developed by Dental Rubber, which operates 22 self-whitening salons nationwide.

It comes with an LED irradiation machine and medicinal whitening gel, and after inserting the mouthpiece, you irradiate for 10-15 minutes. You can do photocat catalyst whitening about 400 times.

This quantity is said to be overwhelming compared to others, and it seems you can use it for about 2-3 years. I want to start right away once my wedding is decided.

It also features Japan's first dual irradiation capability with ultraviolet LED and blue LED at the same time.

This doubles the irradiation area, so it can reach back teeth and the backside too. It’s nice that your front teeth won’t look unnaturally white.

Additionally, with the feature of simultaneous four-color irradiation, it seems you can both whiten your teeth and care for bad breath at the same time, addressing any concerns about odor—two birds with one stone!

What I secretly liked about it is that the medicinal gel has a non-drip texture, so it's okay if you look down or move while irradiating.

Since you’ll be doing this every day, it’s important that you can use it while doing other things, right? (Even though it’s just 15 minutes, it’s tough to have to sit still the entire time.)

The main unit is fully washable, making maintenance easy.

Here are before-and-after pictures of a user.

It’s a color that’s closer to the natural whiteness of teeth.

It’s sold on Rakuten, and it has high reviews with over 1,000 user comments.

② White Club LED

Next, I will introduce “White Club LED.”

This product comes from White Club, which has over 30 locations nationwide and is recognized as a medical device by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. (This is the only one in Japan that has received medical device approval!)

You just hold the mouthpiece with the gel applied, and irradiate for 10 minutes. (It automatically turns off after 10 minutes.)

Looking at posts from various users, I was impressed by many comments mentioning “It wasn’t painful” and “It was nice that there was no irritation.”

Indeed, many people might have a painful experience with dental whitening at clinics and may have a fear about it.

However, with White Club LED, you don't have to worry about that, so it's reassuring.

The attractive price makes it easy to try out.

From the official page,

The irradiation machine with one gel costs 9,328 yen.

The irradiation machine with three gels costs 11,232 yen (14% off).

The irradiation machine with five gels costs 12,980 yen (22% off).

By the way, one gel is enough for about 10 uses in a month.

For brides who have little time before pre-wedding photos or the wedding itself, it might be a good idea to do one office whitening treatment at a dentist and then continue daily care with this.

Doing it together with your husband is also recommended.

Since it's USB battery-operated, you can use it anywhere, whether at home or traveling, and it's light and easy to carry.

I want to start right now!

Office whitening at a dentist is good, but it costs about 30,000 to 50,000 yen per session, and if you continue that, the budget can be considerable.

In that case, you might feel like putting money towards beauty treatments or hair removal instead.

However, with home whitening that you can do at home, you can continue with genuine LED irradiation care at a much more reasonable price.

I think many brides might feel, “This might suit me better.”

Super White LV2 might feel a bit pricey at about 60,000 to 70,000 yen, but it can be used for 2-3 years.

On the other hand, White Club LED has a smaller quantity, but is in the around 10,000 yen range, which is accessible!

Please try self-whitening to welcome your wedding day with beautiful, confident white teeth＊

Personally, after doing one session of office whitening, I intend to continue to maintain the whiteness with self-whitening at home.
