I have just gotten my braces off about 4 days ago. My gums are sore and my teeth are a little bit yellow. I brush twice a day with aquafresh extra whitening but im not seeing any difference. What can i use to speed up the whitening process. I am only 13.

Congrats on getting them off!! =)

Well keep going to a dentist for regular cleanings and all. Keep using that toothpaste (they really dont do that much, any of them) and buy a whitening product. (Floss too) Theres the Crest Whitestrips and this one that has whitening trays. I myself used a Colgate paint-on and my teeth got really white, but I dont think they make it anymore. You will probably have a try a few products to find one that works for you. Try the product for a few weeks and see if it makes a difference. You can buy them at grocery stores and drugstores, some dentist even offer some Creststripes Professional and custom trays. (Also, laser whitening but thats expensive). Theres also mouthwashes that have whitening in them and rinses for whitening.

Like I said you have to go and see and you might have to try a few. Good luck!!!
