i got my braces off, last year may so a year now. i still have cement on them because he didnt take all of it off. can i get my teeth whitened or the cement needs to be gone?
Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.
You should probably go to your ortho and see about getting the rest of the cement removed. Dentists can probably also remove it, so you could ask your dentist if they can and then have them remove it. If your dentist can remove the cement and you're getting your teeth whitened by your dentist, you could probably have the cement removed and then get them whitened at the same appointment. You should call your dentist's office or ask at your next cleaning appointment about the cement and whitening your teeth. Who knows? Maybe if you call they might be able to get you in that day to get the cement removed. Hope I helped! :)
