Hi, i've taken my braces off since 3weeks ago n now have retainers at the back on both top and bottom. wondering if i can get my teeth whitening now?

Yes you can..: Providing that your gums are not swollen and you can still manage to wear your retainers for the hours prescribed.

If tissue is healthy: If your teeth and "settled in" and your gums have "settled down, " you can bleach your teeth. Since you are young and your pulp (nerve tissue) is fairly large, you should brush your teeth for a week if not 2 with a potassium nitrate toothpaste e.g. Sensodyne prior to the bleaching to avoid sensitivity.

Yes, give it a try : You can get your teeth whitened after braces. In fact whitening was an unintended discovery of an orthodontist using a gum treatment peroxide gel in trays to reduce one of his patients very inflamed gums. Your teeth may whiten or they may not and they may get sensitive or not. Whitening is a real crap shoot. Make sure you wear your white strips or use your take home trays!

Yes you can: You can have them professionally whitened at your dentist office , or try one of the many otc whitening products.

Yes: Now is the perfect time to begin whitening your teeth! they are in the best position, you are able to brush and floss and now you can brighten your teeth.

Whitening: Absolutely. In fact I have used clear retainers to hold bleaching agent. Ask your dentist for help with this

Of course, you can: After your braces come off, give them a brilliant sparkle by whitening them. Just imagine yourself with that nice white straight smile. Congratulations!

Yes !: Absolutely. Be sure that all the cement has been removed from where the brackets were placed, or these areas will not whiten. Now is the time to be excited about all your hard work and dedication -- go have fun whitening . Good Luck.
