Question

Answer 1

You do not want to use crest white strips on your teeth when you have braces, your teeth not covered by the bracket/wire will become whiter than the teeth that are covered, just wait until they are off and have them professionally whitened or use crest white strips then.

Answer 2

you will have a metallic taste not smell. If you have the smell means you are not brushing well enough.

Answer 3

First of all, STOP using the whitening strips! You're teeth will be different colors once your braces come off.

As for the smell, concentrate on brushing the banded tooth really really well. Normally, yucky smells come from teeth when there is bacteria present. Be sure to brush softly around the gumline and around the top of the band. Keep swishing with the Listerine.
