Full Review

A compact and stylish whitening kit, Advance Whitening states it will whiten your teeth up to 5 shades in 12 days.

Their aim is to provide a kit that has everything you need to have a safe and dental-grade whitening experience at home.

Let’s have a closer look at this very well-known whitening kit.

What You Get Inside

There are 6 items in the kit when you get it. These include:

Our Reviewer – Lulu

Our review is a young and passionate 22-year old woman who works in the disability field as a support worker.

When she’s not working, Lulu loves getting involved with beauty cosmetics, a touch of shopping here and there plus dancing like a champion on Tiktok (I was truly impressed!).

Lulu our reviewer

We asked Lulu to use the Advance Whitening Teeth Whitening Kit and see what she thought of it.

Below are her thoughts and impressions on this chic whitening kit.

Lulu’s First Impressions

Andrew: What’d you think of the packaging and the design of the kit when you first got it?

Lulu: Yeah, I thought it was really cool. 

Lulu: It looked really good, very fancy. I like the three pens that came with it and the mouthguard. I also thought the box was great, it had a magnetic open and close function, very secure.

Andrew: What did you think of the usability of it when you were applying the gel to your teeth?

Lulu: Yeah, it was easy. You just wind up the pen and paint it onto your teeth, and then you put in the mouth guard and turn on the light for around 10 minutes.

Andrew: Did you find it was hard to activate the pen to dispense the gel?

Lulu: No, because the instructions were easy to follow. It says wind up the pen for up to 20 clicks and wait a bit for the gel to appear on the end of the pen. You can then just click some more when needed.

Andrew: Okay, so that’s pretty easy, nice.

Andrew: Did you have any concerns with using the product at all?

Lulu: Only thing was my mouth was getting a bit sore at the 10-minute mark. I then had to spit it out and put it in for another 10 minutes. By that time, you’re just like, oh it’s a little bit annoying.

Andrew: So timeframe is a slight issue?

Lulu: Yes, oh and I seemed to get a lot of saliva when I used it.

Watching TV or Netflix is a good way to kill time

Andrew: Did you have any sensitivity with it?

Lulu: No, which was wonderful!

Andrew: No. Okay. Great.

Andrew: Speaking about the results, what did you think overall? Did you see any whiteness improvement?

Lulu: I did after like a few tries which was great. Happy with how it turned out.

Andrew: As far as the instructions, were they clear?

Lulu: Yeah, they were really clear about what to do. I’ve tried different whitening products before so I was familiar with what to expect but overall it was very easy to understand.

Andrew: The Advance Whitening Kit has a universal, already moulded, mouth tray. How’d you find it? Was that easy?

Lulu: Yeah very easy and simple to use.

Lulu: I think the key is using it consistently, maybe every second night.

Andrew: How’d you find using a whitening pen compared to normal gel syringe? Was there anything that you thought about that? Did you like it?

Lulu: I didn’t mind it as all. It found it actually easier than using syringes.

Andrew: As far as advantages and disadvantages, was there any that really came to mind when you’re using this kit? Advantages and disadvantages?

Lulu: I like the whiteness of my teeth was noticeable and the pen and how it was to use it.  The only disadvantage I could see is the timeframe. But otherwise, everything else was fine.

Andrew: How did you find the LED light?

Lulu: Yeah, it was really bright. It was brighter than an Oral B LED I tried before.

Andrew: Giving it a rating out of 10, so the packaging and design, what would you say?

Lulu: Probably 8/10.

Andrew: For usability, the ease of using it?

Lulu: I would say 8/10 as well.

Andrew: Speaking about price and value, this kit retails at the moment for just under $90, do you think that’s good value for money?

Lulu: Probably not for $90 because my previous Oral B kit was around $40.

Andrew: Did you see much difference in that kit compared to the Advanced Whitening kit?

Lulu: I think they’re pretty similar. They both work and they both make my teeth whiter, it’s just a different way of using both kits, but they both came up pretty similar.

Andrew: Okay so a rating out of 10, how would you rate the advanced whitening kit?

Lulu: I would say 8/10. It’s still good quality, gave me results and was easy to use.

Andrew: Results out of 10, what would you think?

Lulu: 8/10.

Andrew: Well thank you very much for your time, Lulu.

Lulu: No problem.

Packaging and Design

The Advance Whitening kit we purchased was their standard kit but with the bonus Enamel Booster.

It came by express postage and was protected by a separate outer box with some foam pieces, to keep its integrity while in transit.

Protected in transit and delivered without a scratch

I really liked the fact that it was protected while it was shipped to me. Thumbs up to that, and it’s a good point to note.

Product packaging is very eye-catching. The colours they’ve used, the way they’ve designed the packaging is first-rate.

There was also some plastic covering to stop it getting damaged or dusty etc.

Protected by plastic and ready to be opened

The design of the box is sturdy and feels like it will last.

I like the patterns and the design of the kit. It’s probably one of the better ones that I’ve seen, as far as aesthetics is concerned.

A side view of the packaging

Very simple information on the back of the box that goes over some standard information.

Advance also has some cautions noted, they include;

The Advance Whitening Kit

Like many other whitening kits on the market, on the upper side of the kit, you have the 3 gel syringes at the top.

Everything is in its place

What makes this kit different from others I’ve reviewed, is that they use pens instead of syringes.

Those 3 pens are housed securely in a plastic cutout.

Advance Whitening Pen is see-through which shows you how much gel is left.

The cutout is reasonably well made and has a more of a matte finish compared to some others that have a polished look to them.

The pens fit into the cutout firmly but are not difficult to get out.

A secure and safe cutout for the  whitening pens

When everything’s in the kit and you open it up, it will stand open without falling over, which I liked.

The 5 LED light mouthpiece is positioned next to the universal mouth tray.

I found the LED light well made and Lulu thought it a breeze to use.

The mouth tray has already been moulded and is a standard one size fits all.

5 LEDs are used in their LED light

You just clip-on mouth tray to the LED light, similar to the Bondi Smile or the HiSmile Whitening Kits.

Inside, you also have a pleasant looking card that says, “Thank you for purchasing the Advance Whitening Teeth Whitening Kit”.

A universal moulded mouth tray is included

The Enamel Booster Bonus

The Advance Whitening Kit also came with enamel booster that is available for a limited time.

It comes in its own cardboard packaging that’s also very vivid in appearance.

The bonus enamel booster

I thought those little patterns were a nice touch and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Lulu didn’t need to use this product as she didn’t experience any sensitivity. However, she like the fact that it was included within the kit.

On the back of the packaging, it mentions the following information:

When I open it and took the enamel booster out, it’s very similar to the whitening pen you get in the kit, it’s just got a blue mineralization gel inside.

It looks very modern and sleek, so that’s an added bonus with this kit.

7 Reasons Why to Use Advance Whitening

Advance Whitening has stated on their website that there are 7 benefits or reasons for using this kit over some others on the market.

This includes;

The things that jump out at me is that it has a 10-minute timeframe, but can be used for longer.

A good amount of gel included, 30 treatments is decent.

30-day money-back guarantee is great and gives you peace of mind if you feel it’s not for you.

Finally, the product is made in the USA which is reassuring and I like that.

The one thing I will say though, it’s not dental graded. It can’t be because legally, only dentists are able to provide the dental strength whitening gel of over 6%.

Instructions

There are 3 simple steps to follow when using the Advance Whitening Kit.

Step 1 – Applying the Whitening Gel

It’s as simple as twist and go.

The Advance whitening pens are ready and have the whitening formula inside.

Just twist the pen at the bottom until gel appears, then brush evenly onto your teeth.

You may need to twist up to 20 times on the first go as it can take a while for the gel to come through.

The good thing about whitening pens is they eliminate any wastage and mess associated with gel syringes.

Step 2 – Switch on the LED Light

Place the universal mouthguard into your mouth and switch on the LED light.

Lulu found that watching some TV or Netflix is a great way to kill the time whilst you whiten your teeth.

Advance Whitening recommends repeating it daily for 6 days.

Step 3 – Flash your Pearly Whites

After 10 minutes the LED light will automatically turn off, which is a great function.

Next, you rinse out your mouth and let the whitening gel do its magic.

Repeat daily for 5 days to reveal teeth up to 12 shades whiter (stated by Advance Whitening).

8 Detailed Instructions

The kit came with an instruction booklet which provides the user with a more detailed overview of what to do and how to use the kit.

Below are the detailed steps that you need to follow before, during and after use.

Advance Whitening Tips

For better results, they say to brush your teeth immediately before applying the gel.

Do not consume dark staining food or drink such as red wine, coffee or tomato sauce for one hour afterwards.

It’s best to whiten your teeth at night, after dinner as it allows the whitening gel to keep working overnight.

Whitening Gel Ingredients

There are 9 ingredients in the Advance Whitening gel.

Advance Whitening mentions that their gel contains “specially formulated ingredients” which include the following:

Price and Value

Currently, this teeth whitening kit is priced at $89.95.

Lulu our reviewer was a little surprised when I told her the price. She thought it was a lot of money and believe there were other kits she tried that represented better value for money.

The Advance Whitening Kit price with the bonus enamel booster – Source Advance Whitening

There are some cheaper, and some more expensive whitening kits out there.

This price point though is roughly what you’d expect to pay when opting for a whitening kit in Australia.

This kit isn’t overpriced, it’s just on the higher end of the scale. The Enamel Booster though was a nice bonus in the kit and adds value.

Overall

The Advance Whitening Kit with Enamel Booster is well made and incorporates a fresh way to whiten your teeth using pens instead of syringes.

Lulu our reviewer thought the product was good quality and easy to use.

Using pens when applying the whitening gel to your teeth really does reduce wastage and potential mess that sometimes happens with regular syringes.

Even though the price was a little high in Lulu’s books, it still represented good value as the Advance Whitening Kit did what it said it would do.

So overall, it’s a teeth whitening kit that looks great and works a treat.

Would you prefer using whitening gel syringes or whitening pens as the applicator?
