Is it safe to use Crest Whitestrips 3 weeks before you get your braces on?!
Question:
Is it safe to use Crest Whitestrips 3 weeks before you get your braces on?
I'm getting my braces on, and I want my teeth to be as white as possible since I know it will be harder to brush my teeth once they are put on and they might not be as white. So, I was planning on starting the 10-day Crest Whitestrip package tomorrow, so it will be done by June 22. I'm getting my braces on July 12. Do you think it's safe to have braces put on about 20 days after you use Crest Whitestrips?
Answers:
It is safe,but i don't see the point.You are whitening your teeth to be covered up with braces and the wire?Why not use a whitening tooth paste and mouthwash during,really brush and get your office cleanings done.Avoid anything that will stain your teeth.Such as coffee,tea,red wine and juices,colored sodas.When you are done with your braces,then use the strips.That way you'll have straight and white teeth for the world to see.Honestly with braces on,no one can tell if your teeth are white or yellow.So there is no point.
