Question:
I just got braces and now my teeth look yellow why?
is it because my teeth are already yellow or is it some other reason?
Answers:
It may be a combination of factors like not being able to reach the tooth areas around the brackets as well as you could before because they are in the way and now plaque is accumulating.There could be a slight amount of color in the cement they glued them on with. You may also have yellower teeth than your realized, but now are looking at them more. Just make sure to get them cleaned on a regular basis at your dental office and spend alot more time on them at home. Your old routine is probably not going to cut it.
