I just got my braces off today, and I went home right away and started day 1 of 5 of my whitening kit. It's the kind that has gel in tubes that I sqeeze into a mouth tray and leave it on for 5 minutes. I know today was only the first day, but thers a few spots here and there that went super white, but the majority of it is still kind of yellow (they're not grotesquely yellow, but I got my braces on right after getting pregnant and hit with severe morning sickness and then had a young child... lets just say I couldn't brush as often as I would have liked to!). My main concern is, will the colour difference with the spots get worse if I keep using it, or will they eventually all become the same nice white once I've finished the whole weeks worth? I'm a little paranoid, I don't want to ruin my brand new smile!
--------------------
i have something similar to you (i got custom bleaching trays with the bleach from my dentist) and will say that the first day i had a few spots that were darker than the rest of my teeth...i kept bleaching and they went away. my bleaching kit is different though, bc i had to wear them overnight for 2 weeks and then after that, whenever i needed touch-ups. i think you will be fine to continue using it, but i would suggest that you call your dentist and ask him/her - better to be safe than sorry! :) sorry i couldn't help much! good luck! =) edit: i just wanted to say that the home remedies that were provided below should only be done 1x a wk...some of those things, if used frequently, can cause damage to the enamel.
