Can you whiten your teeth with braces on?

or is this stupid because the brackets are in the way and once you get them off youll have yellow squares on your teeth?


if i can, what do you suggest? i dont know how much longer ill be in my braces, could be months or could be years (Im waiting for my two top ******* eye/canine teeth to come in (ive been waiting for them to come down now for a good seven years and i KNOW they are there, i can feel them and i see a bit of white one poking out) and plus i dont have an orthodontist right now becuase my parents failed in getting me one when i moved...so my teeth are rotting in this metal i havn't seen a dentist in a while or an ortho in five months


so can i make my teeth whiter?

Can you whiten your teeth with braces on?
Not really a great idea and you seem to know why. The area covered by the brackets would not be whitened. A lot of people have concerns about their teeth while in braces, like "the only white place is under the bracket and the rest of my teeth are turning yellow."


A whitening tooth paste may help to prevent the exposed areas of your teeth from getting stained, but it won't noticeably whiten them.


Wait until your braces come off (start going to your appointments so that you can finish), and keep your hygiene up to prevent them from staining or decaying.


Coffee and most colored canned or bottled drinks do stain.


Good Luck
