Panicing about braces!?!


Question: Panicing about braces!?
I'm getting my braces off in a little over a week. I've had them on for about 2 and a half years now, and i'm terrified.
I have a mirror that lights up and shows everything clearly on your face. When smiling I noticed something odd. Around where my brackets are, it's yellow. The rest of my teeth are a nice color, but then you can see around my brackets its slightly yellow!

Could this possibly be the glue from the brackets on my teeth showing, are are my teeth going to be discolored where my brackets were when they come off?
im so scared :( I've waited so long for nice teeth and I don't disgusting yellow spots.

What do you think it is?
Thanks!

Don't worry the "evil" guy who put them on will polish them to look fine.

I had the same thing when I had braces.



I got mine off, like what was it, maybe 3 years ago? Mine were a little yellow too, but once your mouth "airs out" from being covered by the braces, it'll fix itself. When they take them off, they clean your teeth and like get all the glue off and stuff. Your mouth will feel weird and your gums might be a little inflamed, but it'll go away with time. I was a real stickler about keeping my mouth clean when I had 'em on, though, lol. Never had a cavity.

I had braces :D



Ask your orthodontist. I have never heard of that happening and I would think that orthodontists would know how to prevent that. They are definitely not going to leave glue on there! Don't worry it will come off. I think I remember it being yellow around my braces brackets too, though it was a long time ago. Maybe it is the plaque building up there. I feel like that's what it is. Don't worry. I don't think your teeth are going to be discolored.



A lot of it could be glue, but slight discolouration can be common with braces. Try whitening toothpaste and crest white strips. If it's really bad when they get taken off, look into professional whitening treatments from your dentist
