Teeth Whitening Treatment
At Share a Smile Orthodontics, we offer a range of teeth whitening treatments, from mild treatments for sensitive teeth to the strongest professional treatment available. Teeth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without damaging the enamel. While they will visibly lighten the existing shade of your teeth, these treatments cannot completely change your tooth colour.
Some of the most common causes of tooth staining are:
Smoking and chewing tobacco
Drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark pop drinks (e.g. cola)
Dark sauces such as balsamic vinegar, soy sauce or tomato sauce
Foods such as berries, sweets and curries
Certain medications, ageing, and genetics
Faster treatment, brighter results
At Share a Smile, we use White Dental Beauty whitening gels to provide you with a brighter smile. These amazing gels are available in four different strengths to suit each patient’s needs. Each of the White Dental Beauty products is powered by NOVON®, a new whitening compound which provides the maximum whitening effect within a shorter treatment time frame. Your teeth can now be whitened for as little as 30 minutes daily!
A brighter smile is within Your reach
Hold the power of tooth-whitening in your hands. We sell at-home whitening kits which allow you to control your whitening treatment and top up as necessary. Be aware that whitening won’t work on false teeth, such as dentures, veneers, or crowns. This treatment is not suitable for everyone and will only work to lighten your existing tooth colour.
Teeth Whitening Frequently Asked Questions

After braces, teeth whitening should not be done for at least six months, as the enamel on newly exposed teeth may be weakened.
If you do decide to go ahead with whitening your teeth, it is important to consult with a dental professional first to ensure you understand the risks and safety protocols.
-
Generally, it is not recommended to bleach your teeth while wearing braces as the whitening solution and the brackets/wires may interact with each other. It is best to wait until after you have completed your orthodontic treatment before considering whitening your teeth.
However, if you do decide to proceed, we recommend speaking with your orthodontist first for their professional advice.
-
Yes, tooth whitening is proven to be safe and effective when done according to instructions.
It should only take a few days for your teeth to lighten up and become brighter, with the results lasting up to several months depending on how well you take care of your teeth.
Finally, remember to consult a dentist in advance if you have any questions or concerns about the process.
-
Yes, it is perfectly normal to have yellow teeth while wearing braces as they can cause staining on the teeth.
However, once the braces are removed, you can consider tooth whitening as a way to make your teeth look brighter and whiter.
Our professional tooth whitening service offers safe and effective results that will give you a whiter and brighter smile.

Good news. Stains that are caused by braces typically go away after the braces are removed and your teeth become properly aligned.

Be sure to speak with your dentist before whitening your teeth, and follow the instructions carefully for the best results.
-
While wearing braces, you should avoid colours like yellow, orange and red as these can make your teeth look more yellow.
Instead, try brighter or lighter shades such as white, blue or green to make your smile look whiter and brighter.
Teeth whitening products are also an option to help keep your teeth looking their best while wearing braces.
-
Yes, yellow stains from braces should slowly fade over time as your teeth become more and more accustomed to the presence of braces.

Teeth whitening is safe when done correctly and with the help of a professional. Professional teeth whitening is the safest way to lighten your teeth, and it can be done in-office or at home.
