I was wondering what to do for my teeth. I am going to college next year. In my second year I am getting braces, top and bottom at separate times.. it's really late and there are reasons for why I am caring now but w/e the damage is done. I would like my teeth whitened but is there a point if I am just going to get braces later? I would probably need the procedure done more than once.. how many months should I wait in between getting them whitened?
Reason being, I brush erratically when I feel like it and I finally kind of started brushing.. usually once a day as of last year. I am seeing the ramifications of not properly brushing or brushing at all over the 17 years I've been alive. So my question is, will laser teeth whitening work for me? I'm not sure what it's called or if there are other methods. For example, Crest Whitestrips probably aren't strong enough for me, right? Everyone is always talking about yellow stains on their teeth due to coffee and tea, but what about for teeth that are naturally a little yellow or teeth that have been neglected (have not been brushed for a long time)? :[ Please help! Thanks in advance!
