How long do you keep your teeth white with braces?

I am a 19 year old female and I have braces. How long do you keep your teeth white with braces?

1 Answer

Braces will attract stains, yellow or brown, that you want removed by regular cleanings. Ask your orthodontist for pumice cups that we clean teeth with and use one once/month with your brush to remove any discoloration. Your teeth will look whiter once braces are removed because brackets block the translucency of teeth. They just won't look as white while wearing braces, but you will be happy with the final result
