I'd recommend asking your dentist about whitening options that you can do at home. I've been using these special toothpastes my dentist gave me. I use one toothpaste in the morning and the other at night before bed and it's really working.
The kind of teeth whiteners you do yourself at home (the strips, the brush on stuff...) they may work but results usually aren't as good and they take awhile. The Crest whitestrips are about 15-16 dollars a box. I tried them for nearly three weeks and they didn't do a thing for me. A friend of mine told me that Rembrandt whitening toothpaste works well for her, too. Just about any home whitening system (that isn't just a toothpase) will run you between 15-60 dollars, depending on what you get.
A good way to help the process is to cut down on cola drinks, coffee drinks, or any other food or drink that may stain your teeth.
In the end, though the best person to ask is always your dentist. Dentists can give you unbiased opinions since they don't gain anything by recommending products to you.
Good luck, honey. Congrats on ditching the braces. I'm sure your teeth are looking beautiful already. :)
