Listerine whitening mouthwash
Has anyone tried this stuff yet? I have and it seems to be making a slight difference. It makes my mouth extremely dry, though

I've been using this for over a year. I asked my Ortho. about it and he says it was fine to use with braces. I didn't experience any significant whitening, whatsoever. This product does foam up, so it works well in cleaning your mouth and disloging food particles, so brushing them away is easier.

Before I had braces I used it for a little while and thought it was making me lose my sense of taste so I stopped for two months. I tried it again and it did the same thing. It made my tongue feel like I had burned it on something hot and the sense of taste went away. Thank goodness my sense of taste came back after I stopped using it.
I do think it worked to whiten my teeth a little bit but it wasn't worth not being able to taste.

All these whitening products use some form of bleach or hydrogen peroxide. With H2O2 the stronger the concentration the quicker it whitens, but higher concnetrations irritate gums, cheeks etc.
I had used the Listerene whitening for a while but to be able to use it every time before brushing (such as the package says) it must be a very low concentration of H2O2. With such a low conenctration it will take quite a while for teeth to start to lighen up.
For as much of the mouthwash one would have to buy and use to get their teeth 3 or 4 shades lighter, I think I'll stick with a gel whitening paste. I gave up on it a couple of weeks ago. It jus sits on a shelf now.

With braces - pain is gain...

Thank God great looking teeth aren't one of them.
