FYI---Consumer Reports did a study on whitening toothpastes and found cheap-o UltraBright to be the most "whitening". I don't think it even contains peroxide, which IS a bleach.

Sorry to say, you are not correct!golfinjesse wrote:Many Orthodontists believe that belaching while wearing braces will leave un-bleached areas under the braces after they are removed. This is entirely UNTRUE. Teeth bleach from the inside out, not the outside in. Once the material permeates the enamel it migrates throughout the enamel and bleaches out the stains, even under braces.

"golfinjesse" provide proof to backup your claim in the mean time it's false information.bbsadmin wrote:Sorry to say, you are not correct!golfinjesse wrote:Many Orthodontists believe that belaching while wearing braces will leave un-bleached areas under the braces after they are removed.
