Whitening can be considered after braces or clear aligner treatment when you want to improve tooth colour once the teeth have reached their planned positions.
Finishing orthodontic treatment first allows the visible tooth surfaces to be assessed more evenly before whitening begins. Any attachments or orthodontic materials should also be removed before the final shade is judged.
Patients considering teeth whitening in West Hampstead after orthodontic treatment can discuss when to begin and whether any other dental work should be completed first.
Whitening with Bansari Patel
Bansari Patel (GDC 283515) provides general and cosmetic dentistry at Perfect Smile West Hampstead and offers Enlighten Whitening as part of her cosmetic treatment work.
Professional supervision allows the teeth and gums to be assessed before whitening begins and gives patients guidance on the correct use of whitening gel throughout treatment.
This is particularly useful when whitening forms part of a wider cosmetic plan or when there are existing dental restorations to consider.
