teeth whitening advice please?

Im getting myteeth whitened next week after getitng my braces of which i have had for 3 and a half years. Im 18. Im getting my teeth laser whitened and i have read it is ment to lighten your teeth up to 9 shades. Because i am young will it mean by teeth will go alot whiter then older people who get it done?

Yes, it will take your teeth lighter than people who have had longer time to build up stain on their enamel. However, with laser whitening, you have to go back to the office for touch-ups when you feel your teeth are getting stained again. This could be quite costly. My recommendation is to get the laser treatment and avoid drinking anything with color additives in it, for example, dark colored colas, coffee, tea and even red wine. These will all restain the enamel. If you do drink them, use a straw to bypass your front teeth or brush your teeth right afterward. You can also try Crest VividWhite toothpaste at home to help keep your teeth whiter longer. There are also custom trays that can be made for you to whiten at home on your own time. Only dental offices can make these custom trays, so you would have to visit a dentist that makes them in your area. You get the same results over time, and you can touch-up whenever you feel like it!!!
