Icon teeth resin infiltration

For as long as i can remember i’ve had those white spots on my front teeth. They’ve always bothered me a lot. After braces they seemed to be a bit worse, but the one main big one has really been there before. After my braces i got a retainer, and had to wear it every night. With that I discovered that wearing it made my spots significantly less bright. If i forgot it for a night, i’d wake up to bright spots on my teeth. Really made a huge difference. Spots seem to be impacted by exposure to air. I sleep with my mouth wide open, so it makes sense. Anyways, after lots of research i discovered icon. I wanted an alternative to the more expensive options, and something that didn’t REQUIRE you to have maintenance/redone after X amount of years. My dentist explained that the results weren’t guaranteed. Still, I shelled 300$ after reading all the scientific articles about it on my school’s library website lol.
It is now at least 6 months later so I feel comfortable writing a review, hoping it helps someone.
I’ll include pictures.
The price was explained this way to me: about 80$ for the product and 200$ something as dentist’s fees. It took 1 hour sharp. The dentist did the max amount of rounds allowed on me since it was pretty ‘severe’ spots. He didn’t use that sort of blue plastic/protector in my mouth like i’ve seen in videos on youtube. He told me not to swallow, and I was a bit worried at first because it felt very chemical but i had no irritation or anything happening later except from it being a bit uncomfortable in the moment.
Picture 1 : morning before, slept withoutmy retainer to have the ‘true’ natural appearance of my stains. As you can see, the 4 upper front teeth are affected.
Picture 2: right after, 3 of the 4 teeth have no stains anymore. He biggest main one is still visible but greatly reduced.
Picture 3: results now.
At first I was a mix of excited and disappointed. Excited because i DID work, which it wasn’t guaranteed to. It worked quite well, but i had subconscious high hopes & dreams apparently. The results now are only a bit better than when i was using my retainer, but they are. And the fact that i can skip my retainer is awesome because it was getting annoying. I suggest anyone with this giving retainers i try though, it’s an instant cheap way to deal with it. Wear it for 2 nights to see the full results, at least that’s what worked for me.
Conclusion is that it got rid of about 1/2 of my spots& greatly reduced the appearance/brightness. The main con to this is that it changd the texture of my teeth. I’m not sure if this is something that can be fixed because i haven’t reached out to my dentist about it. My teeth don’t feel as smooth as the others. It feels matted and dry, even a bit rough, as if there’s some dirt on it. I was really upset about it at first but now i just got used to it. Definitely going to mention it next time i visit the dentist though.
