I am going to be getting my braces off soon, and i want my teeth really white right away, the same day i get them off. is there anyway i can get them white?

Whitening after Orth: Congratulations on completing orthodontic treatment. I know you are excited ; want your teeth whitened. Wait till the braces are removed, see your general dentist for an exam, x-rays ; a cleaning. Then have them "settle in" ; make sure you wear your retainer. Wait at least a month until you consider whitening. Some sensitivity is normal with tooth whitening. Do it too soon ; you might be sorry!
