Teeth whitening with braces?

Well, I'm thirteen, and I have braces.





When I didn't have braces, I didn't brush my gums/the very tops of my front teeth. Now the very tops of my front teeth are yellow. I brush them all the time [a few times a day with lots of tooth paste] and I also use whitening mouthwash, but they still won't whiten!





How can I get them to be white besides brushing a lot/ODing on mouthwash?

Teeth whitening with braces?
I have braces also. You don't want to drastically whiten your teeth because then the parts of your teeth which are covered by the metal things will be a different colour to the rest of your teeth.





DON'T brush with lots of toothpaste! don't use more than you need, you only need around a pea size and they sometimes have the amount you need specified on the box. Use a SOFT toothbrush and brush around 2-3 times a day, not drastically more i would say 4x at absoulote most. Brush your teeth for around 3 minutes.





I read in a magazine that according to the American Academy of Periodontology, that gum disease, cavities and missing teeth are as good at indicating heart disease as chloesterol levels. So it is very important to look after your teeth.





No more than once a week, you GENTLY brush your teeth with a 50/50 mixture of bicarb soda and sea salt. don't SCRUB but be very gentle. if you scrub you will wear away the tooth enamel which will make yellowing of the tooth.





also it is very important to floss. do this after every meal, at least once a day. Do not snap the floss on the gum line and use a clean section of floss for every gap you floss. floss around the tooth not straight up %26amp; down between teeth.

Reply:whitening strips! you can place them where you want them and they work. that is the best part. i used crest.
Reply:Go to the dentist and have him do the whitening. there is no way your going to get your teeth completely white after wearing braces for lets say 2-4 years. He needs to do the whitening
Reply:I have braces too and the same thing is happening to me!!! I just go ahead and use the whitening strips or other whitening gels with my braces...it dosent do anything to them!!
Reply:I have braces too and I was thinking this exact question yesterday.
Reply:Either wait until after you get your braces off or use a whitening rinse. Strips won't work until after your braces are off.
Reply:I would wait until you get your braces off like I did. When you do whiten them, make sure it's recommended by your dentist, because you aren't suposed to use white strips or anything like that until you're 18. If you're any younger, it could/will wreck the enamel in your teeth. I used a special kit that can only be bought through your dentist.
Reply:Brushing teeth with soda-bicarbonate removes nicotine and other dark stains also. It helps to prevent the formation of tartar and keeps the teeth white.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-teethcare.blogspot.c... tips to have sparkle on your teeth and keep them in good.
