When I got braces I started to drink coffee, I know, what an excellent idea… anyways my teeth go soooooo yellow and I want to whiten my teeth a bit at home but I can’t find a way to do it safely. Any suggestions?
A good oral hygiene routine is the best thing you can start with. One from that…
The best methods are really going to depend on a number of factors.
1. Have you still got braces or have they been removed?
2. What country are you based in? (Whitening products vary from one country to another)
Electric Teeth I have still got my braces on, I was supposed to get them off a few weeks ago but corona…. and I’m in Ireland
If you can, wait the few weeks until you now get them off then have them professionally cleaned. if you are not satisfied then speak to your dentist about whitening.
What if I use whitening products (like strips) on my teeth then get braces after?
That is better than using when you have braces on. You will just need then to whiten the teeth again once the braces have been removed to ensure as best as possible the tooth colour is consistant.
Electric Teeth What whitening do you recommend
Dentist provided trays with whitening gels.
Ok so why can’t we whiten our teeth with the braces on and when they get off, have more strips and put them on again? Just don’t put on the whitening strips 50 times before you get your braces off bc then the teeth outside of the square will be 50 shades whiter than the square yk??
There is some logic to this, however, you want to ensure your teeth whiten evenly as best as possible. Performing a whitening procedure when the braces are still on could cause for an inconsistent whitening effect that may not be undone/resolved with whitening once the braces are off.
i’ve been using 2 in 1 whitening toothpaste with braces on will it stain?? i hope nott
Hopefully not, but you might want to stop using the whitening paste to be sure. You could consult with your dentist/orthodontist on the next visit.
Electric Teeth i got my braces off and my teeth look totally fine!! i’m surprised but i will be doing whitening strips now
i don’t understand when people say we can’t use whitening toothpaste like crest 3d white? can somebody explain why there bad and what the effect is
U cant use whitening toothpaste cuz when you take the braces off the space where the brackets was will leave a yellow square stain thing and trust me thats not gonna be fun
@Divine what if, after i get the braces off, i get teeth whitening on these yellow square stains?
Wait till the end people thanks for the video i have a year to go lol cant wait
I’ve been using whitening toothpaste all along and didn’t even realise… will my teeth be stained after braces 😔
Hopefully not! Your teeth are likely at their ‘peak’ natural whiteness if you have been using a whitening toothpaste for a while. Perhaps move to a non-whitening toothpaste.
I had my teeth whitened while having braces! Are there any ways to fix if there’d be spots appearing after removing the braces?
It is likely a case of repeating the whitening process again, but it is always worth having a dental assessment to check what the causes of the white spots are.
I’m gonna get my teeth whitened right after my braces come off but are there any ways to get them whiter now cuz I’m really insecure about my teeth
Regular brushing and flossing is the best approach. You dentist can do some cleaning if required. You could use a whitening toothpaste, but this isn’t really advised. Ideally it is best to wait until they are off so the teeth have can whiten at the same time.
I have small black lines in my bottom teeth’s … it doesn’t hurt or anything . can I still get braces ? If I need a filling can I get braces the same day? Or how long would I have to wait ?
It is likely you can still get braces. You will need to be assessed by an orthodontist before any treatment is approved/begins. Technically there is little reason you could not have a filling and get braces the same day, although typically they are usually completed as 2 separate treatments.
Electric Teeth also .. do they whiten teeth before braces .. i should be getting some soon and let’s juss say i don’t have perfectly white teeth but not yellow either .. 😬
@cameryn nicole they didn’t whiten mine, they just cleaned it
i should’ve just gotten a teeth whitening before
I’m using a whitening pen. Would that do any harm to my teeth or braces?
It is best not to use whitening products when you have braces as it could lead to an inconsistent tooth colour.
i have been using whitening toothpaste before my braces and my teeth are pretty white. now that i got my braces i’m scared to switch to a non whitening toothpaste because i don’t want my teeth to turn yellow. should i continue using whitening toothpaste?
Perhaps speak to your orthodontist, but general advice would be to avoid it.
It has been 11months that i got my braces but now I am getting yellow stains under the braces and implants and calculus under tongue thrusting appliance…but i sm very much worried…my doctor haven’t done any kind of cleansing process in these 11months…i do brush twice a day but i have a lot of appliances in my mouth.. seeing these yellow stains is haunting me… please do help
Speak to your doctor. Arrange a cleaning with a hygienist yourself perhaps.
is it normal or okay to have braces even if my teeth is yellow?
i mean my teeth is already yellowish😩
Yes it is. Yellowish teeth is quite natural. Not everyone’s teeth are pure white.
or u could do it before and after for whoever want third teeth now
w video
How about before getting braces?
Yes you can.
Okay I have a question I got my teeth whitened before my braces but now that I have my braces I’ve noticed my teeth have become a little yellow would it be alright to use whitening toothpaste?
It isn’t ideal to use it to be honest, but you can. Best to wait until the braces are off.
@Electric Teeth THANK YOU!!🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️
@Electric Teeth I started my braces treatment in March . My teeth were already a bit yellow and its been 6 months , now they have become more yellowish . My shade is A3 . Is it possible to acheive A1 shade or B1 in my case via teeth whitening?
Possibly. How white your teeth can go depends on a whole number of factors. Not everyone’s teeth will be able to go so white, but there is a high liklihood.
