How to Compare Supersmile to GoSMILE

Many individuals want whiter, brighter teeth. Supersmile and GOSMiLE are two companies that cater to this need, offering individuals a convenient method of dental whitening that doesn't require a visit to a dentist. With dozens of products on store shelves, consumers can be confused about which whitening system to use. Each offers advantages and disadvantages depending on your personal lifestyle and budget.

Instructions

• 1

  Choose how labor intensive you wish to make your teeth whitening journey. GOSMiLE uses small ampules of whitening liquid which users must apply and rub onto each individual tooth after brushing. Supersmile uses specialty toothpaste made with whitening product and requires peopleto use this paste instead of their traditional toothpaste. Thus, GOSMiLE adds an additional step to your dental routine while Supersmile does not.

  Determine how much time you are willing to take to perfect and whiten your teeth. GOSMiLE's basic teeth whitening kit requires just seven days of daily application. Conversely, Supersmile's whitening kits are used twice daily over the course of one month or more for optimum whitening results. Users should note, however, that GOSMiLE's whitening process may be quicker acting but requires more time per day.

• 3

  Decide how dramatic of a change you want. Supersmile's daily brushing product will whiten your teeth over an extended period of time. Though users can accelerate the whitening process by using their additional products, including a whitening pre-rinse and whitening chewing gum, the process will still take longer than GOSMiLE. The latter company promises a dramatically brighter smile in as little as seven days. Though the end results will typically be the same, GOSMiLE whitens in a quick makeover fashion while Supersmile is more modest and discrete.

  Check your budget. As of September 2009, GOSMiLE's basic seven-day kit starts at $69. More advanced kits, including extra whitening products or maintenance tools, can run $100 or more. Meanwhile, Supersmile's basic one-month supply of whitening products start at $36 as of September 2009.

  Evaluate the criteria laid out in Steps 1 through 4 and select a product that best fits your lifestyle. If you want quick results and don't mind taking more time each day, you may choose GOSMiLE. However, if you want a discreet bleaching process that doesn't dramatically tell everyone that you whitened your teeth, you may choose the slower-acting Supersmile. The costs are similar, since some users may find themselves buying multiple months' worth of Supersmile to achieve the same results as GOSMiLE's more concentrated solution.

  Consider using both products. Some individuals use a concentrated product such as GOSMiLE to quickly and efficiently whiten their teeth for immediate results. Then, users brush with Supersmile's products to maintain their white teeth and ward off the minute stains that come with daily activities such as drinking tea or coffee.

  Purchase the product line of your choice. Both Supersmile and GOSMiLE sell their products directly through their websites (see Resources for links). However, users may find better deals on online retailers such as Amazon.com.
