Will My Braces Leave Yellow Spots On My Teeth?

i have braces, and i brush my teeth really well twice a day. even though i take care of my teeth, i have heard horror stories of people that get the braces off and have yellow spots on their teeth. will this happen? (preferably someone with experience, please)

They won’t leave yellow spots on your teeth, but make sure that you keep brushing them very good, under all wires and such, because if you don’t, your teeth will yellow around your braces and what is left under the metal will be white as the day you had them put on.
I had braces and brushed, flossed, and mouthwashed everyday and had no problems. My sister however, didn’t brush her teeth regularly and was left these white spots after the braces were taken off. She has since done whitening strips which have helped.

when I had braces I was scared of the same thing!!! If you brush 3 times a day and flip you brush up ur down to sortta get behind your braces and floss three times a day and you should have beautiful white teeth… well at least I did and so did all of my friends who did the same thing. good luck your gonna love having them off!!!

no It wont people just tell stories to make you angry but braces are great I got a braket nocked of and There was no yellow spot
unless you eat sugar every day and never brush your teeth then there would be a hole or 2 on your teeth

No and if they do its only for a few days or it could be plaque build up so once the teeth is properly cleaned they fine… make sure you follow the dentist instructions and you will be so happy with your teeth when its all over… good luck

maybe

no, it won’t. I’ve never heard of that.
However, your teeth can become decalcified where the bracket is and you’ll have a super white spot if you don’t take care of your teeth. [it happened to my older brother.] You don’t seem to have a problem with that, though.
I didn’t have any problem when I got mine off.

no. your teeth can’t get dirty on the spots your braces were attached to yer teeth. i felt like that when i was about 13 and wore braces

Oh my daughter Shandra had to get braces for 3 years and she was scared to get them on because people made her sad and told her those stories too but she brushed her teeth 3 times a day and when they came off they were crystal white! No marks what so ever she was so glad and haunt those kids who made her mad everyday! Just brush on top on bottom and like you would if you had your real teeth w/o the braces and they will come off fine!
