Answers:
NO! because when u remove the brace, youll have little squares of yellow where the crst couldnt get to because of the brace!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would say no!. look at it like this, if you whiten your teeth with braces what are you going to do to whiten your teeth behind the brackets!. when they come off, you will have white teeth but you will also have a small box of a different color cause you couldn't get back behind there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't because when your braces get taken off there will e funny marks where they used to be because they didn't get whitened!. You may not be cleaning your teeth well enough or your toothpaste may not be right for your teeth!. Talk to your orthodontist about using a whitening toothpaste!.!.!.

No you should not use anything until the braces come off, if you whiten while they are on you could have discolored ares on your teeth when they are removed!. so I would wait!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, not unless you want your teeth to be 2 different shades!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't think so, if they are wires and clear no, no wires yesWww@Answer-Health@Com
