Getting my braces off tomorrow. Yay! Already ordered teeth whitening gel, but also need retainer brite. Where can I get it in Canada?

I can always order online from DentaKit.com, but anywhere in Canada you know of?

I'm in the UK so sorry, can't help with the retainer brite question. Just wanted to say that you might not want to rush straight into tooth whitening. I had my gel all ready before debanding but didn't anticipate my teeth feeling so sensitive from the debanding procedure itself, and that didn't really happen until a few days after. I used the gel twice in the first 10 days after deband but then decided that I needed to let my teeth recover a little from the debanding shock before torturing them some more with bleach

We're all different though (and I think my deband was a tricky one, some very firmly stuck on ceramic brackets) so you might be fine, indeed, I hope you are

Good luck!!

Thanks, Annie2009. I heard that I should not do tooth whitening right away, but my dentist's office (not the ortho's office) said why not? I am having my teeth cleaned on July 26 and that's around the time that my Opalescence whitening gels arrive. So I suppose I'm not whitening right away exactly.

My ortho office says that The cleaner that starts with the letter P that has been used in spam posts, so it's censored. has a retainer cleanser now on the market. I wonder how it compares to Retainer Brite? $6.65 for 36 tablets price wise, but how about effectiveness? Time to do more searching.
