Id just wait till you get your braces off.
You dont want your teeth that is not covered by braces to get whiter. So if you wait till you get them off you can color all of your teeth.
But if you still want to then no I dont think it damages your braces.

Yupp, its completely okay. Also, you can find some teeth whitening things from local stores like Walmart & stuff. They have things for all sorts of teeth. there would probably be something for you. If not, then wait till your braces come off and get them whitened every 6 months

Yes, it is okay to brush your teeth with baking soda, even though you have braces. And no, it will not damage your braces. Nothing to worry about. ♥

It won't hurt your braces, but its not such a good idea. Sure you want your teeth white, and baking soda will help, but the area under your braces will be discolored. It would be better to wait untill you get your braces off & whiten your teeth.

Also, brushing your teeth with whiteing toothpaste wil turn the exposed teeth white, not the underneath of the braket & when your braces are taken off, you will have funky squars on your teeth.. if you really want your teeth white go for it, but it will not whiten all of your tooth. Id just wait, time with braces goes by fast.. I had them for 3 years :]

it will not damage braces,it will make is brighter,but think,when you get your braces off it'll be discolored,so it'll basically be white and yellow-ish =/// it sucks i knoww,but when you get the braces off just do it for like week

My friend does that and it didn't damage her braces at all. It actually does make your teeth whiter though.
