I'm going to the dentist tonight and I need to know if you get your teeth whitened before getting braces
--------------------
NOOOOOO! Please trust me on this one-I'm a Dental Hygienist with Expanded Functions in the Field of Orthodontia. You NEVER bleach your teeth before braces! While your braces are on brush no less than 3x/day (I know it sounds like a lot but it's very easy to get stains on your teeth while in ortho). You should also invest in an electric toothbrush. Sonicare is an amazing brand (expensive but a very worth while investment). Onces your braces come off you can discuss bleaching options with your dentist :) Good Luck!
