Are your teeth yellow when you wear braces? Well, this article will give you some tips and tricks to whiten your teeth completely!
Steps
Step 1. Buy a fluoride toothpaste that produces foam so that it penetrates places where you can't use the toothbrush
(Use an iso-active toothpaste!)
Step 2. Always brush your teeth after eating so they won't be stained yellow when you remove the braces
Step 3. Use a dental floss to clean under the appliance by adding toothpaste to the floss for extra cleaning
Step 4. Use a mouthwash morning and evening and do not eat for 20 minutes after using it to let it work
Step 5. If you have colored braces it will contrast with your teeth making them appear whiter
Or choose a yellow brace to make your teeth look less yellow, the same for red lipstick.
Advice
- Do not use whitening strips. You will have squares on your teeth when you remove the braces.
- Brush your teeth twice a day, use mouthwash in the evening, floss in the morning, and rinse your mouth after eating.
- Buy a few tools suitable for cleaning teeth with braces at the pharmacy to keep your teeth fresh and clean.
- Make sure the braces are not broken or any hooks are missing when you leave the orthodontist. If your orthodontist does not give you precise directions, you will only have to brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening, using dental floss in the evening. If you use chewing gum, buy sugar-free ones
- Do not drink fizzy drinks while wearing the appliance! These drinks have acids that can leave marks on your teeth that will be visible when you remove the braces.
- Floss after meals.
- Don't eat sugary foods, even if they tempt you so much!
