possibly not because you are not getting sugary things underneath your braces as you are when you are eating things, but equally, you are brushing your teeth: surely this would make it balanced? To get teeth whiter: Don't drink citrus fruit drinks for at least an hour and a half after you have just brushed them because they will still be weak. I brush mine with whitening toothpaste, 3 times a day.

Yeah, you'd get little squares underneath. I recently got my braces off, and here's what i did about that: Wait until your braces are off afterwords get those awesome little crest whitening trays after a while you'll have sqaureless white teeth =D

well my friend has braces and when she got them off the part where the brackets were were white and the rest was yellow! but what u can do is brush ur teeth with baking soda alot! thats what i do and my teeth look like shiny pearls hope this helps!

ive thought about that too so i asked my orthodontist he said that right before they but the brackets on they polish your teeth really well and when they put the bracket on top the square behind it stays white because nothing gets to it because it is under the bracket so i guess its your job to keep the rest of the area on your teeth white because that little square under the bracket will be fine :)

There will be little squares of discoloration... and usually you should try and do the same thing you were when you didnt have braces, so you don't come off with the same squares and just wait till you get your braces off so that you can work on whitening all your teeth at the same whiteness level it also works the same way, if you had braces and didnt brush your teeth, you will have little white squares and the rest yellow... it happened to my friend... try and keep consistant. =)

Well the part of your tooth that is under the bracket will not be getting whiter so if your teeth get too white there will be noticeable squares when your braces come off.
