I won't be getting my braces off for a while, and my teeth are starting to get really disgustingly yellow. I brush, but that's not enough. Help me!

It is also important to floss. There is a special kind of needle made of plastic that helps get the food out. I was very bad about flossing when I had braces and because of it ended up with a lot of cavities.
I would suggest talking to your orthodontist to see if using any of the whitening products out on the market (for a short time) is a safe option for you.

I would recommend waiting to whiten your teeth until after you get your braces off. The whitening product will not be able to come into contact where the braces are, so you will have noticeable stains on your teeth after your braces come off.

you cant really do anything about that. My teeth were the same way when i had braces. if you try to whiten ur teeth, there will be white circles on all of ur teeth when you take them off. it will be very hard to get rid of them. my advice would be to just keep them as clean as you can and then when you get the braces off, try to whiten them.
Good Luck and i hope this helps!!!

Whitening mouthwash, floss your teeth daily, and brush after every meal.
Don't drink pop!
Drink water!

There's nothing you can do. Color your braces black, that will make your teeth look brighter.
