A member asked:
Is it safe to get braces a month after having laser teeth whitening?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: It is safe. Talk to you dentist, and orthodontist, about maintaining your tooth shade while in orthodontic treatment.

Yes: The laser teeth whitening should not affect how the braces are attached to your teeth. After a month, new mineral has deposited on your teeth, bringing them back to the state before your whitening. This should allow the proper conditioning of the teeth when the braces are placed. The bond strength should be sufficient to allow the braces to stay on your teeth.

Yes: Braces should not be a problem one month after whitening. Consider invisalign which may not require any bonding to your teeth. Ask your dentist/orthodontist which is best for you.
