One thing I’ve always been self-conscious of is my smile. It started off in middle school when I had braces put on. I wore braces for four years and it was far from my best look. I had this image in my head of how transformed I was going to look once the braces were off, and couldn’t wait for the day when they finally did. Luckily, it was right before my senior prom. Although I was thrilled the metal was gone, I was left with yellowed, blotchy teeth and a smile that wasn’t nearly as amazing as Blake Lively’s or Hilary Duff [#idols]. From then on, I’ve always felt just “eh” about my smile. It’s far from bad, but definitely not perfect.
Since then, I’ve made a conscious effort to keep my smile as white and healthy as possible to compensate for not having that set of huge pearly whites I’ve always wanted. I take my dental care very seriously and make sure to visit my dentist on the reg to have them cleaned professionally. Most people hate the dentist, but I [strangely enough] like going and getting that deep clean I can’t achieve at home.
When Smile Brilliant reached out asking if I wanted to try their capriPro UltrasonicElectric toothbrush, I was absolutely THRILLED. I’ve always wanted an electric toothbrush, but couldn’t bear to spend so much money on one. They can get really expensive! To be honest, I was a bit intimidated of the idea. What brand should I use? Is is “too” expensive? Or is it “too” cheap? I gave up on it and figured the free toothbrush my dentist gives me every visit would suffice.
I’m sure you all can relate to the “you need to floss more” speech from your dentist. I get the speech every time I go because my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. I do try to floss every day, but life gets in the way and nobody ever really sticks to it, am I right?
So after reading about the capriPro Ultrasonic on their site and taking a look at the product features, I was SOLD. The capriPro comes equipped with five [yes, FIVE!] different brushing modes to fit your specific needs. I like having the option to use the “sensitive” mode because it helps prevent my gums from bleeding. Actually, since I’ve been using the capriPRO, I haven’t seen blood in my sink at all [sorry guys, totally TMI…]
Here is a quick snapshot of the different modes the toothbrush comes with:
I made sure to try out every mode to get a sense of what each does. I personally use the “Clean” and “White” modes the most. The “clean” mode is perfect for everyday use. It’s not too aggressive or too light either. I kid you not, after brushing with the capriPRO I feel as if I just left the dentist’s for a cleaning. My teeth don’t even have that gross toothpaste-y film on top like after using a manual toothbrush. I try to use “white” setting at least once a week because this girl LOVES her coffee and wine. Haha! It’s not easy to keep a bright white smile as coffee addict, so this deep-clean setting definitely helps remove any surface stains.
Another feature [that may be my favorite] is the timed brushing modes. All of the settings are set to operate for two minutes. It gives you a quick break and pulses every thirty seconds to remind you to move onto the next quadrant of your mouth. I’ll be honest, before using the capriPRO, I probably brushed my teeth for thirty seconds max. I definitely was not spending enough time cleaning my teeth the proper way with my standard toothbrush. The first time I used the capriPRO, I realized how long two minutes really is! Haha! Because this is an electric toothbrush, I don’t need to brush as hard to feel like I’m getting a good clean. I love it!
All in all, the capriPRO Ultrasonic toothbrush has totally changed the game for me. I seriously cannot see myself going back to a standard toothbrush after using it. If you are on the fence about splurging on an electric toothbrush, I definitely recommend Smile Brilliant. Their prices are way better than the big-name brands out there, and you are getting the same product, but with even more features! It’s a no brainer. I am confident all of you will enjoy this product just as much as I do!
