REMBRANDT? was the discovery of cosmetic dentist and whitening pioneer, Dr. Robert Ibsen. His goal was to provide his patients with effective whitening power that would help fix the stains and scratches on their teeth. But he couldn?t find anything on the market that served this purpose. So he headed to his lab and created REMBRANDT?, the first whitening toothpaste the category had ever seen. Even though the category has grown over the years, unlike other whitening brands, REMBRANDT? still stays single-mindedly focused on teeth whitening.
I’ve been slightly obsessed with the need and desire to whiten my teeth since I got engaged about seven years ago (don’t worry, we tied the knot about four years ago). I was always getting complemented on my smile and I just wanted it to be perfect for that day. I’m also a big coffee drinker, warm, hot, iced, I’ll drink it and after working in a few coffee shops, I can tell you, that stuff can do a number not only on your breath, but the whiteness of your teeth as well. I tried toothpastes, gums, and strips that all promised whiter smiles, but none have been able to deliver what they promised.
Rembrandt and Reach have teamed together to offer their own spin on whitening and cleaning innovations. Did you know that:
- 87% of adults want whiter teeth
- People who do have white/r teeth are perceived as 65% more professional
- Those same people are also 51% more confident as well
- 200 feet; the average length a white smile is visible from and showcases confidence, warmth, and health
- A white smile makes you look 68% more professional, 64% more financially successful, and increases your trustworthiness by 52%
- You also appear 59% more confident on a first date
With all these great statics, how could you not want a whiter, more healthier smile? Rembrandt and Reach have a whole army of products to help you do just that! I was floored when my package arrived, and excited to dive right into the whitening line.
I started off with the Rembrandt 2 Hour Whitening Kit, which I’ve always wanted to use, but felt overwhelmed about. I kicked myself, wishing I had done it years ago. Clinically proven to whiten your teeth by three shades in just two hours in the comfort of your own home using the same enamel-safe ingredients my dentist charged an arm and a leg for, how could you not use this kit? I started off by placing the comfortable, soft plastic tray (looks like a mouth guard) into water for just a few seconds and then into my mouth so that it formed to my teeth. Next, you put one gel into the tray and put it back into your mouth for 20 minutes. Wipe any gel that seeps out, or else you end up with sensitive gums! After lounging around for the 20 minutes, take out the tray, gently rinse it and your mouth, and take a break for ten minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining gel packs for a total of two hours or until you are happy with the shade! I did the whole two hours and I am so happy with the results. I was worried I’d end up with glowing teeth, a la Ross in FRIENDS, but that did not happen. My upper teeth are about a shade and a half whiter than when I started and look great!
On my lower teeth, I’ve been using the Rembrandt INTENSE STAIN Stain Dissolving Strips. Unlike other strips, these slowly dissolve away in your mouth as they are whitening, so they’re great to use on your drive to work, the gym, or even hanging out at home. They’re target to help remove stains from smoking, red wine, and coffee drinking (so guilty of the last two!) and I’m slowly seeing a difference in the color as well. My husband will be trying them out soon as he’s guilty of those first two violations and I can’t wait to see that yellow stain from nicotine to go away!
The whole family has been using the Rembrandt INTENSE STAIN toothpaste which as helped me keep up and manage what the whitening strips and tray have taken care of. The taste is pleasant and mild and should help reduce additional staining up to 60%!
I think my favorite item in the pack was the Reach Total Care + Whitening Toothbrush. It’s the only toothbrush out there with Micrawhitening Calcium Carbonate bristles to help whiten and remove stains. The unique touchpoint grip helps with control and the handle is sleek, so I don’t feel clumsy holding it. Reach also sent it’s new Total Care floss which is the only of it’s kind with Micro-Groove technology which makes it superior in removing plaque and, you guessed it, helps with whitening!
The great thing about all the products above has to be the cost. Added up, you can have your own at home whitening arsenal for less than the average price of professional whitening at your dentists office. I mean, who doesn’t want to whiten their teeth and sit around in your pajamas on the computer?
