Answers:

DO NOT WHITEN YOUR TEETH WITH BRACES ON THEM!!!! If you whiten your teeth with braces on, there is a chance that you will whiten only the enamel on your teeth that is not covered by the braces. The part of the tooth that is covered by the braces WILL NOT WHITEN, and when you have your braces removed, you will have little "yellow" squares on your teeth, where your braces were.
You may think, no problem, I will just whiten them again when I get my braces off. Not so fast, big problem. If you try to whiten the little yellow squares off your teeth, the surrounding enamel will just get whiter, along with the squares, and your teeth will not match for a very long time. AND, when you get your braces off, do not over whiten! If you do, your teeth will become "opaque" and appear darker (greyish) because the inside of your mouth is dark. Just follow instructions on any whitiening product closely.
