How does the Meawhite Whitening Kit work?
The Meawhite teeth whitening kit works on the same principle as a whitening at the dentist, but the composition of its gel is different.
The principle is the same: you have a tray that covers your two jaws, in which you distribute a small amount of gel. You put this mouthpiece on your teeth and turn on the integrated LED light (at the dentist, it is an independent light).
The application time for Meawhite is about 20 minutes per day, for 10 days.
What does Meawhite gel contain?
Meawhite's gel is different from the dentist's gel because it does not contain hydrogen peroxide. This product is very effective for teeth whitening, but its dosage must be extremely precise.
If it is not sufficiently dosed, it is not effective, if it is too much dosed, it can damage the enamel of the teeth and irritate the gums. Home bleaching kits that contain hydrogen peroxide are limited to 0.01%.
Meawhite has decided to do without hydrogen peroxide and to offer a different composition. Its gel is composed of purified water (46.8%), glycerol (25%), propylene glycol (25%), witch hazel (1%), and other natural ingredients, guaranteed without hydrogen peroxide.
The Meawhite gel formula complies with European Directives (93/42/EEC and 2007/47/EC).
The Meawhite kit and its instructions
The Meawhite kit is designed to perform two 10-day cures, twenty minutes per day. You can then keep your mouthpiece and buy gel refill kits.
The kit is composed of :
- 2 syringes of 10 ml each of bleaching gel;
- a double mouthpiece, which allows to act on both jaws simultaneously;
- A LED lamp integrated into the tray that accelerates the bleaching process;
- a color chart that allows you to control the evolution of the color of your teeth.
The use of the kit is very simple. Each day, you should set aside half an hour for your treatment. It is important that it be followed if you want it to be effective.
- Brush your teeth thoroughly.
- Attach the lamp to the tray and apply 1 ml of the whitening gel from the syringe into the tray (on each level, top and bottom).
- Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and clench your jaw to distribute the gel.
- Turn on the LED lamp and let it work for 20-30 minutes.
- When the time is up, turn off the LED light and remove the gutter.
- Clean your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth again to remove the last of the gel.
The treatment must last at least ten days to see the effects.

Our opinion on the Meawhite whitening kit
The Meawhite whitening kit is very simple to use and very practical. It does not contain hydrogen peroxide or any other substance that is harmful to your tooth enamel or gums.
It has the advantage of being usable at home, without constraint. All you need is half an hour a day. Since its LED light is built into the gutter, you can move around your home freely and you are not even encumbered by a wire connecting to your smartphone, as is the case with other kits of this type.
You can renew the treatments by buying only one gel refill and keeping your mouthpiece and lamp.
Overall, the treatment brings results, but not as promised by Pastimea, namely that you will gain 5 shades of color. You will indeed see an improvement, but the gap cannot be that large, even with treatment at the dentist.
