How can I get rid of the brown stains between my teeth? (Photos)

Question

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?

Hello and thank you for a wonderful question. First of all, I am glad you are correcting your bite with orthodontics. I would say in regards to the stains you are refering, that they will disappear AFTER a good cleaning.Also, you might want to consider having professional dental cleanings more often to prevent stains on the first place.

Have your dentist use some course pumice on a polishing brush, like when you get your teeth cleaned. If that doesn't work, an ultrasonic scaler may do the trick.

Hi, i would recomend trying asking your doctor for a scaling / cleaning, and after that change your floss to one that has micro-silice like the Gum Original White, this would help at cleaning and avoiding those stains where your brush is not reaching. Good luck.
