Whitening Gel+Braces?
Question:
Now, this is the problem, I have braces and I've been using that tooth paste (which claims it makes your teeth three shades whiter) for quite a long time but as soon as i realized i was using this toothpaste i switched over to one that's not a whitening toothpaste. However since i used it for such a long time while my braces are still on will i have brace marks on my teeth because of it? (But I do drink black tea on the daily basis if not at least twice a week.)
And if I have markings on my teeth is there anyway i could remove those brace marks??
Wouldn’t my orthodontist told me if he saw any markings if there were any? (I went there this Monday to see him)
Answers:
I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. However refrain from the whitening toothpaste for now, just incase.
If you DO end up with brace marks, you CAN get them to go away. Just use whitening stips or even lazor treatment for it. Your best bet is to ask you dentist or orthadontist about whitening options.
Your ortho would not have been able to see the 'tracks' on your teeth because the brace covers up the darker part! And he doesn't remember how white your teeth were from your last visit.
Overall, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. I have braces too, so i know how you feel. =)
I think that your teeth are going to be fine after your braces are off. Most of the whitening toothpaste's do not work anyways. If you want to whitening your teeth you should have your dentist make you some whitening trays after you get your braces off. You will get great results.
