Teeth Whitening After Braces in The Hague
Many patients want to whiten their teeth immediately after braces come off. Wait at least 4 weeks before starting whitening — enamel is temporarily more porous after de-bonding and needs time to remineralise. Professional whitening after this period produces excellent results on freshly straightened teeth.
Options include in-chair (laser) whitening for immediate impact, or custom take-home tray whitening for gradual results over 2-3 weeks. If you have ceramic or composite restorations on front teeth, whitening will not change their colour — discuss this with your dentist before starting to avoid colour mismatches.
The De-bond Appointment
At de-bonding, brackets are removed using an instrument that gently fractures the adhesive bond, leaving enamel undamaged when performed correctly. Adhesive residue is polished off using a rotating buff — taking 10-20 minutes. You may notice mild sensitivity in the days after as enamel previously under brackets is exposed; this is temporary.
Retainers are fitted at the same appointment — the same day. Even a few hours without a retainer after brackets are removed allows teeth to begin shifting. A fixed bonded retainer is placed behind the front teeth and a removable tray retainer is provided before you leave the practice.
