I don't recommend it for two reasons
1. you cant' get a good seal for the whitening product to get to the teeth.

2. you can't whiten the tooth structure under the bracket

Oh, here's one more

3. If your teeth are rotated or overlapped, they may not get whitening gel on the hidden parts.

It is best to wait until after the braces are removed so you can whiten your teeth the most effective way possible.

No. The braces will not allow you to place a strip next to the teeth. You can't use a mouth tray to hold bleaching gel next to the teeth because the braces and brackets are in the way. Anything that whitens teeth has to be right on the teeth in order to work. Best you can do is use a whitening toothpaste and that isn't going to do much if anything.

That's definitely a big no-no. If you use whitening strips or other teeth whiteners while you have braces on your teeth, you'll have darker spots where the brackts were. Once the color change is there it's going to be very hard to fix, if even possible.

hi baby how it going sweetie it's da diva here dear and I hate to burst your bubble but ''NO'' honey you can't because the braces is to protect and straighten your teeth and the whitening stripes are to make your teeth whiter, clear and brighter. just be patient and take it one day at a time after you take the braces off them you can put on th whitening stripes, i am happy my teeth are in very perfect condition i don't need all of that stuff. lol gto to run hun love ya smootches da diva.*
