Just keep doing what you're doing until the braces come off and then I'd try Rembrandt strips. I had some problems in my past that resulted in decayed sort of transparent yellow teeth and I used them and now my mouth looks great.

Reply:uh..all you can do probly is wait til your braces are off ..then use the whitning strips. and ..i don't think flossing would help yellow teeth anyways.
Reply:Rinse with hydrogen peroxide at bed after brushing. Swish, spit, do not rinse/eat/drink, go to bed. It is an antibacterial and it also helps w/ whitening. Very mild though. This will also help w/ bacteria you are missing by not flossing. Also, try getting a proxabrush/interdental brush if the orthodontist didn't give you one. It is like a pipecleaner type thing found by the floss at the store. You can slide the pipe cleaner right under the bracket/between brackets to help get it clean inbetween there since you aren't flossing. You can even dip the brush in peroxide first if you want to.
Reply:This isn't really a 'big' problem, not yet at least. Try to floss as much as you can (mouthwash won't really do much), and don't drink a lot of soda, tea, or coffee (dark drinks will stain your teeth, combined with the acid that eats away at your enamel). Wait until your braces come off, and then you can fully assess the situation. If you really dislike the color of your teeth then, you can use Crest Whitestrips (which are really only recommended for a few shades of difference) or ask your dentist for some whitening methods (more effective). Also, it might just help for you to go to the dentist and get a nice thorough cleaning if you're not a regular patient there.
Reply:Well I have braces too, so I know what its like to have to deal with them. Brush your teeth in the mornings and nights with teeth whitening toothpaste. It may not have a dramatic and fast effect but it does help. Also flossing is really good to keep your gums healthy and therefore making your mouth more healthy and teeth somewhat whiter. I know its a pain but once you get in the habit, it gets easy. Do it before you go to bed, you know as you lay down about to go to sleep. This is all you can do until the braces come off. Relax, ppl cant tell when you have braces anyway. As your dentist if he can whiten your teeth right after, see if he'll work out a deal. It will all turn out great.
Reply:How do you know your teeth are yellow when your braces are covering them?
Reply:Find time to floss everyday, use threaders with your braces. Periodontal disease is a lot worse than yellow teeth. Many people with perfectly white teeth have lost them due to gum disease. Worry about the color of your teeth after. Go to the dentist for a cleaning in the meantime.
