is it ok/safe to have teeth professionally whitened before having braces put on?

will have braces put on in 2 months, is it ok to have teeth whitened professionally before the braces go on?
--------------------
I would wait until after the braces come off. Braces make cleaning teeth much more difficult and will almost certainly have a discoloring effect. After they come off, go have a cleaning done and then whiten.
