SPARKLE & SMILE
The best teeth-whitening products for a glowing grin
If, like us, you don’t make it past 9am without a second piccolo or can’t pass up a glass of red after work, then you’ve probably noticed the effect your vices are having on your pearly whites. Years of indulging can lead to staining that no amount of brushing or whitening toothpaste can fix. And the alternative – giving up our morning caffeine fix and favourite happy-hour drops – is simply unthinkable. If you’re wanting to put the sparkle back in your smile, you may want to try a teeth-whitening solution. While a professional in-chair treatment can set you back a hefty sum, there are at-home alternatives that can help lift staining for a brighter overall appearance at a fraction of the cost.
SENSITIVE KIT
Developed by an Australia Association dentist, Smilie is vegan, cruelty-free and safe for those with sensitive teeth. Promising results from as early as the first use, each kit comes with a dual-led device, three gel whitening pens, shade guide to track progress and charging cable.
Smilie Teeth Whitening Kit $99
CLEVER PEN
The blindingly bright smiles of Hollywood’s A-list are partly to blame for any trepidation we feel about the status of our teeth. So, when one of their most influential members, Kendall Jenner, starts her own oral care line complete with a whitening pen, you can bet we pay attention. With a 100 per cent vegan formula and a vanilla mint flavour, it’s not only effective at fighting both short and longterm staining but delightful to use.

HANDY STRIPS
Perfect for anyone looking to whiten their teeth on the go, these strips are sensitivity-free, meaning they won’t irritate your gums or teeth, but still work quickly to brighten your smile.
