White on your tounge means there is bacteria.
Make sure you scrub your braces really well, because left over food can cause bacteria to start.
Also, take time to brush your tounge until it's pink again. When I had my braces my tounge was more white than usual. But if you sit there and brush it for a few minutes it should go away.
It the problem progresses and nothing helps you might need special mouthwash or toothpaste from the dentist.
Good Luck!



It's only bacteria. Your teeth aren't the only places where bacteria can hide. You need to make you you also brush your tongue, and keep brushing your teeth really well. You should brush for 2-3 minutes.

I have braces.



Calm down, it's just bacteria. Nothing to worry about. Just brush your tongue and it should go away.
