INFO:

You need to make sure you brush under the wire, around the brackets, and between each tooth. Use a toothpaste fortified with fluoride, as well as a whitener if you prefer. Proper brushing and flossing will reduce plaque build-up and other bacteria growth, which can cause staining and discoloration.  And if you still want teeth whitening when the braces come off, it will be easy to seek professional whitening without the brackets on your teeth, leaving you free to whiten them post-treatment.
