I got Invisalign a month ago and I'm on aligners #3. I just started noticing that between my teeth are starting to turn brown. First it was just one tooth up top and now my bottom teeth are turning brown between the teeth. I brush, use mouthwash and floss after everytime I eat, which is about 4 times a day. What could be causing my teeth to turn brown between my teeth? Could I be over brushing, mouthwash and flossing?

Answer: How can I get rid of the brown stains between my teeth?
Blander foods with be kinder to you whitened teeth and reduce sensitivity. Pale colored foods and drinks should be consumed for the first 42-72 hours after your whitening.
Tetracycline teeth are extremely difficult to whiten. You can try in office such as zoom followed by at home whitening but results will be spotty at best. I would suggest porcelain veneers if you don't have success with teeth whitening.
Unfortunately any whitening is probably not going to change the color of the attachments. Your best bet is to get your teeth polished with some good pumice. If you want you could try some traditional whitening gel in your aligners, but don't think results will be what you want.
