The Finishing Touch to Your Smile
Teeth whitening is an excellent add-on treatmentfollowing orthodontics. Once your braces are removed or aligner therapy is complete, whitening can enhance the final result — giving you a clean, radiant finish that highlights your straightened teeth.
We recommend whitening after treatment to ensure an even shade and optimal outcome. It's a popular option for adults seeking a refreshed smile for professional settings, weddings, or special events.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Teeth Whitening
When can I start whitening my teeth?
We recommend starting teeth whitening after your orthodontic treatment is complete. Whitening should only be performed when all brackets or attachments have been removed and your teeth are clean and healthy. This ensures an even, consistent result without patchiness. For best outcomes, we may also recommend a professional clean prior to beginning treatment.
What age is too young for teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is generally not recommended for patients under the age of 18. Younger teeth have larger pulp chambers and are more susceptible to sensitivity or irritation. Whitening should only be considered when adult teeth are fully developed, and always under the guidance of a dental professional.
What can I eat during whitening treatment?
To avoid staining your teeth while whitening, we recommend a “white diet” during and up to 48 hours after treatment. This includes:
Foods and drinks you can have:
- White rice, pasta, or bread
- Chicken or turkey (no skin or sauces)
- Potatoes
- Bananas, pears, apples (peeled)
- Water, milk
Avoid the following:
- Coffee and tea
- Red wine
- Dark soft drinks
- Berries, beetroot, soy sauce, curry, tomato-based sauces
- Smoking or vaping
These precautions help you achieve a longer-lasting, brighter result.
