hi! i have braces, and i would like to whiten my teeth, but i've been told that you're not supposed to use the kind of teeth whitening stuff that you kind of paint on. but I was wondering, is there any other way I can whiten my teeth? can i use the strips or is there a kind of toothpaste or ANYTHING?

i had braces for a loong time. and i never whitened my teeth while i had them. it's just a bad idea that will end up costing you more in the long run. for now, just make sure you brush your teeth 2 times a day, and use mouthwash. as soon as you get them off, use crest white strips premium, the 14 day stuff and they will be AMAZINGLY white when you are done. if you whiten now, only half the tooth will be whitened. and then it will be really hard to get the teeth all the same color.
Good luck

i have braces too
ahha
and i use whitening toothpaste
mine are white
but if you use whitening toothpaste
its gonna suck bcasue when you get em` off you should schedule a whitening appointment with your dentish because there's gonnna be a stain on your teeth from everything
so i would just say brush floss and listerine for now
or you can use the paintish ones
it will work better than the strips, cuz the metal will be in the way with the strips and all
