My teeth are a little yellow, probably due to poor hygiene. Is it possible to get them back to a clean white color without damaging the enamel? What I mean is...can I use multiple whitening treatments until my teeth are white, or would that damage my enamel to do so?
Also, after I do get my teeth white (if I do) how do I keep them white? I already brush my teeth everday so what am I doing wrong?
Any advice is welcome.

Try the Crest Whitening Strips or get the professionally done if you can afford it. Watch what you eat and drink like oatmeal, berries, coffee, tea, colas, etc., which will definitely stain your teeth.

Don't drink soda without a straw.
Avoid brown drinks (coffee, tea, etc.)
Don't smoke
Use whitening strips (Crestar, etc.)
Don't do the dental treatments unless you know your enamel is solid. Look in the mirror in the car with direct sunlight. If you can see through any part of your teeth, you have enamel damage.

watch out for the culprits that can stain your teeth like coffee, tea, colas, red wine, chocolates and sauces. try to use a straw if possible when drinking them.
remember that smoking can also discolor your teeth, it is best that you avoid them.
you can also keep teeth whiter by properly brushing and flossing teeth every after meal. this can help remove stains immediately after food and beverage intake.
choose a teeth whitening system that has quality ingredients and can give you best teeth whitening results. consider asking help from a dental expert. visit http://www.maximumteethwhitening.com for more tips on how to maintain white teeth.
