How do you whiten teeth with braces?

Is there any way to help whiten teeth when you have braces? Maybe some really really good toothpastes or any other unique things? help! :)

How do you whiten teeth with braces?
Yes, just rely somehow on over the counter products. Hopefully your dentist won't let you have any products. Do you know how silly your teeth will look after you have braces? Sure, you'd have beautiful straight teeth, but you'd have dull colored squares in the middle of each tooth. You'd regret it if you did something extreme. Best of luck!
Reply:Stop drinking soda and coffee. Your teeth will gradually turn back to their natural color.
Reply:Just brush well and floss. I wouldn't start any kind of whitening treatment until after your braces come off, because it can damage the glue that hold your braces on your teeth, and also will whiten around the braces, but then when you get them taken off you will have little spots on your teeth that aren't as white where the braces were attached.

The current color when you had your braces is going to show up when you get your braces off. SO you will see dark squares on your teeth if your teeth are whiter than what you have underneath.





Just use a water pick. That pushes that gunk out.
Reply:I just talked to my dentist about that recently. With conventional braces you cannot whiten because the whitening solution would not get under the braces and you would have two-tone teeth when the braces come off. If you do not already have braces you can have them put on the back of your teeth now instead of the front. That way you could do your whitening with them on.
Reply:I would wait til your braces are off before doing any major whitening treatments. As for now, you should switch to Crest Whitening Expressions toothpaste. They will whiten your teeth naturally. Also, eat more strawberries! They will gradually and subtly whiten your teeth, too. Combined with a good brushing and flossing regimen your teeth should look great! Best of luck!
Reply:You shouldn't whiten your teeth with braces. If anything, just use a good toothpaste and mouth wash to keep your teeth from turning and mostly to prevent cavities. Brush every day (you should brush 3 times; I never did and my teeth are white even after I got my braces off yesterday, but others are not so lucky). If you want, you can whiten your teeth after you get your braces off.
