I have yellow teeth and braces, how can i get white teeth?

i have yellow teeth with braces and i tried using crest witening toothpast, but all it did was make my teeth glow, making even more yellow...so that kind of sucked

I have yellow teeth and braces, how can i get white teeth?
My dentist told me not to worry about the whitening until the braces come off because if you whiten them now you'll still have darker spots where the brackets are glued on...so she said once I get them off then I'll go in for whitening.
Reply:brush them

idk sry





i'm just gonna wait til i get my braces off, wait through my mom's yelling, and calmly sit in the dentist's office before getting my teeth whitened and fresh. lol
Reply:Ask a dentist or ask your dentist for help! and ask your orthodontist.
Reply:sounds like you need a good teeth cleaning....you're supposed to have your teeth clean even when you have braces on.


make an appointment....also, arm and hammer advanced whitening works really well on my teeth...i usually get a lot of compliments. you might have to use a whitening toothpaste for awhile till you see results...another suggestion is to get the colgate (i think its colgate) whitening stuff...it would be easy for you to use because its like a little brush (the size of a nail polish brush) and you can paint it on your teeth around your braces. that stuff works great.
Reply:I have braces and have the same problem and I use baking soda, I put water on my tooth brush then I dip it to a baking soda and brush with that then toothpaste but like someone else said on here it may leave a yellow mark where the glue is personally I rather have my teeth white while I have the braces on then use the baking soda when I get them off then it will take care of the yellow stain due to the glue. just dont swallow the baking soda its nasty and rinse your mouth really good!


Hope this helps
