Q. Hi! I am due to have my braces removed in November of this year after 4 years of orthodontic and dental treatment. Although i am now really happy with the alignment of my teeth, my teeth don’t seem to be as white as they were before i had braces and some of my teeth look “marked”, i was told this could be from the various types of braces i had to have (retainers, head-gear, fixed braces…) i have been told that the teeth may look better once my fixed brace is finally removed but is whitening treatment a viable option to improve the appearence of the marks and if so is there an age restriction (i am 16)? Thank you for your time
