duudee_advicer answered Wednesday October 4 2006, 7:46 pm: I talked to my orthodonist about this:
-He said do not use whitestrips or gel while you have braces as this may weaken or damage the brackets and wires due to chemicals in the bleah.
However, you can brush your teeth with a mix of baking soda and water once a week to brighten a smile. Also, I use Aquafresh Extreme Clean, I love it, it totally whitens my mouth =D
superjessayy answered Wednesday October 4 2006, 7:35 pm: i suggest you dont, causae it would whiten aorund your braces and when your braces came off you would have multicolored teeth. wait til your braces come off and either get them whitened by a dentist or buy a whitener from the store [ superjessayy's advice column | Ask superjessayy A Question ]
karlyndarlin05 answered Wednesday October 4 2006, 6:41 pm: there is a way that the dentsit can do it but DONT. because it only whitens where your braces arent. so like...when you get them off you will have darker spots.
so just wait til you get your braces off. thats what i did...and i suggest crest whitestrips. they work really well. [ karlyndarlin05's advice column | Ask karlyndarlin05 A Question ]
