Keep your head titled slightly back
Looking down will cause the
saliva to rush to the front of your mouth which is where you’re trying to apply
HaloSmile. Keep your head tilted slightly back throughout the application and
dry time. It helps to move your mirror to eye-level and hold the jewel up to
eye-level when applying so that you don’t look down.
Use paper towels and cotton rolls
Everyone’s mouth and
biochemistry is different, so don't be shy with using paper towels and cotton
rolls to stop saliva. Roll up a portion of a paper towel and place it under
your tongue, behind your lower teeth, where your main saliva gland is. You may
also want to place a cotton roll or portion of paper towel between your lower
teeth and bottom lip. Some people even place cotton rolls near their cheeks. Do
not take too much time applying HaloSmile – get in and get out! The more time you take the more you will
battle saliva flow. First time
applications should be less than 10 minutes.
With some practice, applications typically take from 3 to 7 minutes. Do
what works best for you!

Practice, Practice, Practice
Like everything, there is a
learning curve. The more you practice, the more you’ll understand your own
biochemistry. Another trick is to do an application on yourself and then
practice on a friend, then back on yourself! Watch the instruction application
