You can't get rid of those spots but you can try whitening the rest of your teeth to match. Veneers are expensive but worth it.

I have the same problem. I think they are called calcium deposits, the white spots happened when your teeth were actually forming. I was once told by a dentist that if you whiten your teeth it might make the spots whiter. But I'm going to get a second opinion on that. My spots on my teeth only show up when my mouth is dry, like first thing in the morning or when I have a cold. From what I see the only way to fix them would be to have veneers put on your teeth, but that's expensive. I plan on doing it when I have the money. Good Luck!!

The white spots on teeth after removal of braces are de-calcification of the enamel surface from poor oral hygiene while the braces were on. Whitening treatments like those mentioned in the other answers, sometimes will work, by whitening the tooth area around the white spots to make everything appear to blend in.
The other thing to try is brushing with MI Paste, available from your dentist. It contains Calcium and Phosphate and has been shown to re-mineralize these de-calcified areas. Check it out at: http://www.gcamerica.com/mipaste.html

If you are going to have "those white spots," the damage is already done. They come from "less than ideal" hygiene while wearing the braces. If you've been excellent with your home care, you won't have the spots.
Otherwise, check out Dr. Harry's recommendations.

The discoloration you see is most likely the coating they put on your teeth to make the braces stick to them. Just brush and floss regularly. If you have problems with them after you get your braces taken off, consider having them whitened, but i don't think you should have a problem with it.
