Hiya,

I've had ceramic braces top and bottom for about 10 months and have been using colgate whitening toothpaste for all of that time; will the teeth under the braces be a different colour when I get the braces taken off?

Only just thought of this and panicking a bit now!

Sorry if this has already been asked or I have posted in the wrong place, this is my first message

Thank you for any answers!

Most people here say that their doc's told them whitening toothpaste is fine since it only removes new surface stains.

I have been told by my orthodontist DO NOT USE ANY TOOTHPASTE OR MOUTH RINSE WITH A WHITENING IN IT! I am just so not happy as I had been using closys toothpaste and mouth rinse twice a day and my teeth and gums were looking so healthy. I had previously had treatment from a Peridontist. Now I have had to be using Sensodyne without a whitener along with piksters and floss. My dentist has just recommended that I buy a dental water jet. with 3weeks in and 24 months at least with metal braces top and bottom I feel I can justify buying this product. Any more help on this matter would be gratefully accepted.
