I brush my teeth often but they are yellow... ugh.. How do I get them white fast.. I have braces so I cannot use those White Strips things...
Help with my yellow teeth...?
Unfortunately you cannot whiten with braces on. The whitening agent will not be able to get under where the brackets have been cemented onto the teeth. If you do use a product you run the risk of have different colored rectangles on the center of your teeth when the brackets are removed. Once you braces are removed have your teeth cleaned and then whiten them. The best thing to do is have regular dental visits to remove the build up (stain, tartar, and plaque) that gets trapped so easily with them on. Another good idea in addition to regular brushing, flossing (using a proxybrush, etc) is to use an over the counter fluoride rinse or one prescribed to you by your orthodontist to reduce the likelyhood of new cavities or the beginnings of them (decalcification) while the braces are on...Sorry I don%26#039;t have any other options for you!

Reply:use whitening toothpaste and make sure to clean between them using a braces brush, try flossing too
