Teeth discoloration: Your teeth will look entirely how well you cared for them while wearing braces. They could look perfect or the way you described "are yellower and have white spots" , also called white scars or decalcification. Unfortunately, these white stains are usually permanent. Get a professional cleaning and wait at least a month before any whitening treatment. Use Fluoride treatment 2X per year.
