Congrats! Me too! I'm getting mine off on the 17th!! But anyways, I talked to my orthodontist and he said to just make sure that I floss and brush regularly, you can use listerine that has whitening in it as well as toothpaste that has whitening in it. Like Crest has the new pro whitening thing and there are a few colgate ones that work too, but what you should do is talk to your Orthodontist, or if you're close enough to the next dentist appointment, go in and get them whitened the same day. Thats what I'm doing because I'm due for another appointment, so I'm going to get the flouride treatment or whatever and ask him which toothpaste he recommends. If you go down the toothpaste aisle at the store, you should be able to find something that fits what you need, just read the labels and see what they promise and how often you have to use it in order to get the effect.
I hope your teeth look awesome! And also, I hope I helpped answer your question. Love ya,

With a toothpaste that has whitening in it, but doesn't major on the whitening part. [ darknessrage's advice column | Ask darknessrage A Question ]

It has bleach it in and it really makes your teeth a lot whiter. Plus, it's affordable. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
