im getting braces in a week and one of my friends suggested getting my teeth whitened before i get them put on so that i have a 'fresh start' and can keep them clean until they come off.
good or bad idea ?
Teeth whitening before braces?
I had braces for ten years and after mine came off I didn't really need whitening but I got it anyway. I think it would be wise for you to just whiten after you get your braces off because even if you do if before you may need to do it again. This way you can save your money.
Reply:U dont need 2 get ur teeth whitened when they put the braces on they get a tool that strips ur teeth clean so that the brackets will stick, and plus if u were to do dat the spots that under the brackets will be white while ur teeth will be darker so just let the orthodonist decide what is best not ur friends
Reply:No! Don't bleach your teeth right before putting braces on. The bleaching process interferes with the bonding agents they use to stick the braces to your teeth. You'd need to wait 3-4 weeks after finishing bleaching before the effects go away. Wait until after braces, it will be easier to do cuz your teeth are straight, and if there has been any discoloration during the braces, it will get rid of it.
Reply:I would whiten afterword, simply because there might be some spots that you didn't/couldn't brush as well as usual so it might turn yellow anyway and the other is because when they take off your brackets they have to make sure your teeth don't still have glue on them and so they file them so you might not even need it.
