Dear Carolyn, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist may mean well, but he or she doesn’t have a good understanding of how teeth whitening<\/a> works. While a cost-effective way of helping stained teeth look younger, brighter, and more attractive, it is not useful for uneven color. This is because it will whiten your teeth evenly. Her teeth will be whiter, but so will her white spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spots that developed are areas of decalcification. Those are cavities. They are pretty common after braces. Teenagers don’t always get between all those wires and brackets effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing you can try is a product called Tooth Mousse. It is designed to help remineralize those spots. That would be my first go-to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn’t work, then you can go to a cosmetic dentist and have both microabrasion and dental bonding done on those spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
