Braces!
Okay, I am really nervous about getting my braces off. I mean, I am worried that those brown spots will be underneath the brackets and my teeth will look gross. I brush my teeth twice a day with whitening toothpaste for the recommended two minutes and wash my mouth out with listerine. Is that enough? It's really hard to floss!

You know what does wonders? Banking soda and salt! All you do is you get a little bottle and fill it with 1/2 banking soda and 1/2 salt. Then, shake it so everything is mixed together. After you're done brushing your teeth (with regular toothpaste), just put a little bit of banking soda/salt on your tooth brush and finish up with that. It works great and it REALLY does make your teeth whiter. You should see a difference.

Mmhm, you'll be FINE! I didnt have ANY discoloration..and I didnt do any of the things you mentioned. :] So, Im sure your teeth will be fine. If not, you can always use Crest Whitening Strips after you get them off.

well usually, they get the spots off. it sounds like you're doing a good job, but if you really want, you can probably get your teeth bleached after you get your braces off...just ask a parent!
hope i helped!

honey, don't worry. i used to have braces, and i thought the same thing. thats part of their job to get rid of the brown spots. and yes they will. the spots arn't even that noticeable if they don't get rid of them. but don't worry, really, they will be gone, and with your braces off, you should be smiling, not worring about weather or not you have brown spots. your teeth are probably beautiful, so show them, it projects alot of self confidence: smile!

oh my worddd
i knwo this probably wont help you
but im worried about this too!
i'm getting my braces off soooon.
but dont worry about it, theres not enough whiting stuff in the toothpaste to make you have spots on your teeth. (my dentist told me that today :) ) so yeah. If you make sure you get all the food out and brush everything good, im sure everything iwll be fine!

it sounds like you are doing a really good job of keeping your teeth clean, and when i got my braces off it didnt look bad or anything at all and i didnt even brush as much as you (i always forgot!). even if your teeth are a little discolored it wont look bad and if you are really self concouis about them use crest white strips, they work really well!

If you took good care of your teeth, from what I read you did...then it sohuld be fine unless you indulged yourself with tons of sugar and chocolate and sodas and all that stuff.

Well at my dentist they gave me these floss thearders that make it easier, you can get them at wal-mart. If you drink alot of soda and your teeth are dirty or something work on that, buy brushing 3 times a day. Also another thing is when the take the brackets off the file your tooth down so it won' be that yellowish-brownish and more white
