Whitening your teeth with braces?

Question

Okay well i have braces and my teeth seem to look a bit yellow but i brush and rinse twice a day i even use whitening toothpaste so i dont know what else to do?

Answer 1

wait until you get your braces off!  If you whiten your teeth while wearing braces when the braces come off it'll be a different shade.

Answer 2

No! Sorry but your doing something that is terribly wrong! Never use whitening toothpaste while you have braces! Or anything whitening for that matter! When you get your braces off do anything to whiten your teeth, even whiten them at a dentist. Whitening toothpaste will either loosen the cement of your braces and cause problems OR leave a nasty spot where your teeth were not whitened. So stop what your doing right now and get a good NON-WHITENING toothpaste like Crest Cavity Protection and rinse and brush but not whiten! :) Hope this helps.

Answer 3

when you get them off get them whitened. (=

Answer 4

Don't whiten your teeth until your braces are off. It won't get under your brackets.

Answer 5

try baking soda lovey..

   1. Wet your toothbrush with cold water and dip it into baking soda. All of the bristles should be covered so that your toothbrush is white.

   2. Brush your teeth for five minutes (spitting if necessary) two times a day.

   3. Spit the baking soda toothpaste out and rinse your mouth clean with water. If there is a tingling or burning feeling in your mouth, this is perfectly normal. See "Warnings" for what might not be normal.

Answer 6

just wait it out until you get them off... because if you whiten them with the braces on than you have a little yellow square where the bracket used to be just keep up what you are doing and you should see them whiten pretty well
