After getting braces do they whiten your teeth ?

One of my friends had braces for like 2 years or something and once she got them off her teeth were really yellow . And im getting braces soon so I was hoping that after I get them off, would they whiten my teeth? And do you have to be a certain age to get your teeth whitened or something?

Just make sure you brush them really good everyday and after meals and you're teeth will look fine after you get them off. I had braces and my teeth were fine after. There are whitening strips you can get that help whiten your teeth.

you don't have to be a certain age to whiten your teeth.. but they won't do it on you for free when you get your braces off.. and to get the procedure done you don't go to the orthodontist.

when I got my braces off my teeth were actually much whiter then I ever expected them to be.. maybe your friend just didn't take care of her teeth

obviously your friend had bad hygene, I thought that after I had my braces off the color thet had glue on it would be really yellow, but I took good care of them and they were really white

Make sure you brush them every night, proper brushing is essential for cleaning teeth and gums effectively. Brushing removes plaque from the surfaces of your teeth, and if you do not brush plaque develops into unhealthy calculus. my guess is that your friend was useing rugalur brushing habits, in which cace causes problems when you have braces. When you have braces it is hard to get building plaque from underneath the wires and tends to build up, causeing yellow teeth. Most orthodontists recommend brushing after every meal or snack with fluoride toothpaste and carefully removing any food that may have gotten stuck in your braces. Some orthodontists will also prescribe or recommend a fluoride mouthwash, which can get into places in your mouth that a toothbrush can't. But you must brush your teeth with braces if you dont want permanent damage.

After I got my braces off I bought a 400 dollar whitening kit called NiteWhite! It works for about 30 times-instead of just one and it works better than actual whitening!

well my brothers getting his braces off in 2 days and he's going to get his teeth professional cleaned(cant remember the proper name sorry) afterwards to get off all the stains...
and he has some pretty bad stains

no that proubly happened becasue your friend never brushed his teeth if you have braces just keep brushing your teeth and they will proubly get more whiten
Good Luck!

When I got my braces off my teeth were super white! Your friend probly never brushed her teeth. (ew)
