Teeth Whitening WITH Braces On?
Moderator: bbsadmin
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.
Tops went on March 4, 2008
Lowers go on May 30, 2008
Bracket Mullet---metal on the bottom (business), Ice (party) on the top!
I use to use Ultrabrite years ago and it alway keep my teeth nice and white. I recently decided to use it again due to its $.97 Wally World price tag. I brush so much now that a tube of toothpaste does not last very long.
Meryaten, I wouldn't say that its overly abraisive. But my teeth do feel cleaner compare to the Colgate anti-cavity paste I was using before. And after two days of use, my teeth look as if I've whitened again. Ultrabrite is just really good at removing surface stains. Really makes those brackets sparkle!

I have just completed my treatment!!

Bleaching with Braces
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.

Re: Bleaching with Braces
Lynn I have to fully agree with you on this statement. "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.
