Would anyone recommend ceramic braces?
Im 18, will get them off at 19. I don't want braces at all. This is bad timing, I am moving to a university next year and I am going on a vacation out of the country that i have looked forward to for years next summer. My teeth are not that bad, but I figured to do this when I am young.
Anyways I am wondering if ceramic braces are something i should look into. Mostly I am concerned that up close it might look like l have plaque or something coated on my teeth?
To seeker20:
i was told I was not a candidate for invisaligns, I do not remember what the desntist sadi (he was talking for a good 15 min) but I might get a second opinion now.

How long should I wait to use whitening strips or toothpaste?
In about a month i'm getting my braces off and i'm just trying to be on the safe side. I've heard that I shoulsn't be using whitening toothpaste during braces and when I was considering strips the box said I shouldn't use them if I have braces so I've beeen waitin'. How long should I wait after braces to use theses products???
**BTW: I have the clear ceramic braces just to let you know**
i have braces and a bad case of gingivitis?
i'm 13, have ceramic braces, and a bad case of gingivitis. it's so bad that i can't brush or floss or anything. all i can do is use my waterpik and that's definitely not enough. i can see plaque building up around my braces and can't do anything about it because i can't brush my teeth...what should i do?
