Can i use teeth whitening after getting braces off?

Yes: Just as soon as braces come off, you can have tooth whitening done. Some orthodontists do this themselves, i prefer to let the dentist do it, as they are more experienced at the procedure. Enjoy your smile!

Sure: It is defiantly good to whiten after braces. In fact with invisaline many people use the last aligned as a whitening tray.

YES: Just make sure all the bonding from the brackets is removed and the tooth is polished. Bonding will not bleach and you may have a dark spot present in those areas upon completion.

Yes: Make sure you have all resin/bonding materials removed, and if there is still "extra white" areas, hypermineralized zones, or the value/color is not uniform on your front teeth, try asking your dentist to use opalustre in combination with in office professional whitening materials to blend for a uniform result.

Yes: Very often we see patients right after braces to whiten. Your teeth are now straight, might as well get the best look possible!
