I always ate lots of sweets and had cavities, but I brush twice a day. Also I'm a little bullimic, does it show or do they just look like regular bad teeth from eating sweets ?

Hi there,
A bonded retainer is attached to the teeth using composite specially designed for this purpose. Your whitening should not interfere with this at all. If you have whitening trays that you use, make sure that these are well fitting. If you are using light-activated...
There are ways to remove the discoloration from your teeth by bonding them and making them look normal. There are several reasons why you have that kind of staining but rest assured you can be helped! As far as the cavity, that tooth may be able to be restored so you should see a dentist asap.
Whitening gel has a expiration of about a year and that is with refrigeration. By now the whitening material has degraded and will be ineffective. I would suggest throwing out the remaining gel and return to your dentist to purchase refills, they are not to expensive.
