I got my braces off earlier today and I am going to get my retainers next week. I still have my bonded retainers (permanent ones behind teeth) on the top and bottom. I was wondering if I could use any type of teeth whitening (preferably strips) without harming or removing my retainers.
Bonded retainers and teeth whitening?
Bonded retainers will not be a problem with the Crest Whitestrips as they only cover the fronts of the teeth and just over the biting edge.
Although you didn't ask - some more info for you to consider-
Overall I would say that most of my patient's have had some measure of success with the Crest Whitestrips, some more than others.The results are usually pretty quick, noticeable in the first few days, best in a week or longer.If you can, do yourself the favor of using them right after you get your teeth cleaned as any staining and buildup (tartar, plaque, or orthodontic cement) will impede their ability to work. Also, don't use fluoride toothpaste before putting the strips on (same reason). All of the methods (strips, trays, custom trays, in office whitening) have the potential to make your teeth temporarily sensitive, but will not harm the enamel. If you get sensitive use the product every other day in conjunction with a sensitive tooth toothpaste. You might try to drink dark liquids through a straw and don't smoke. Most whitening toothpastes just remove stain on the surfaces of your teeth and therefore are not so effective. Whatever method you use it will not whiten your teeth for life, as you age your teeth will get darker and may need to be whitened again.
Good luck!
