anything colored is going to pigment your oral cavity, but it won't last long.  Crest Pro Health is one of the best mouth rinses to use because it does not contain alcohol.

For the moment you rinse your mouth with a concentrated salt solution, at least 3 times daily and see what happens after a week.\n\nI have tried it before and it worked.

i have used the crest whitestrips and they worked great... what i did tho is i went on ebay and found some that were like 22% strength compared to like 10% or so for the ones you can buy in the store.. i was able to get a like 25 day or so treatment for the price of a ten day one at the store.. i just used half of the treatment(10-12 days) and then saved the others for a second treatment later on down the road.

Listerine Whitening Rinse is great.  You will see an immediate difference.  I can't recommend this stuff enough.  Also it is not as expensive as Crest Whitening Strips.

Did the orthodontist give you any proxabrushes?  They look like little Christmas tree shaped bristles.  These work great to get all the plaque out from around the brackets.   Also using an electric toothbrush (like a Sonicare) helps massage the gums and remove plaque.  Some of the inflammation could be from moving the teeth, if you had a lot of spacing and the teeth are moving closer.  But usually it comes down to not removing all the bacteria.  Ortho requires meticulous oral hygiene.  I am sure I dont hae to tell you that all kinds of stuff gets caught around the brackets!!  \nI wouldnt rinse with peroxide for very long, long term usage can actually harm the tissue.  Instead ask your dentist or orthodontist if they can give you a RX fro PerioGard, or if they have it available to purchase in office.  This rinse kills bacteria better than any over the counter rinse.  If you dont want to use that rinse try Breath Rx rinse or the new Crest Pro Health rinse.  I would stay away from Listerine because it contains a lot of alcohol which actually dries the tissue.\nInterested if you are experiencing a lot of bleeding along with the swollen gums.  This is the telltale sign that it is due to bacteria and plaque more than movement of the teeth.\nKey is brush, floss, proxabrush, rinse.  Also try a waterpik that flushes bacteria and debris from around the brackets and gums.  \nGood Luck, remember it will be over eventually and then you will appreciate how much easier it is to clean your teeth without all that stuff!!

Crest Premium White strips work fairly well.  They're just a little bit of a hassle twice a day for a week.

Proactiv, really does work well, much better then Clean & Clear.  You don't have to spring for the kit either.  You can buy knock off brands at Walgreens for under $20.00.  Try AcneFree or KlearAction.

Use Toothpaste. Seriously, no joke, toothpaste works.

yes, crest whitestrips. but if you want the good stuff, get crest whitestrips supreme.  only available online and at the dentist's office and they work WAY better than the ones you can buy at the store.  they claim to whiten 80% better than the regular ones.  i think they are around 40 bucks.

It depends on what kind of rinse you are using.  If you are using a rinse that claims that it loosens plaque before brushing, then use it before.  But there is no research that states that these rinses have any benefit. \n\nAs far as Listerine and Crest Pro-Health Rinse go, you should rinse after brushing and flossing.  These rinses have high substantivity, which means that even after you are done rinsing, the chemicals are still on the gums and teeth and are released slowly over time.  So, the product continues to work even after you're done rinsing.  If you brush or floss after rinsing, then you are removing it from your teeth and gums and limiting its effect.

Baking soda is great, then after rinsing well, put some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for a few minutes at least one time a day, but DO NOT SWALLOW!  I was hesitant at first, but you can barely taste it. Not bad at all...

you can also take one part hydrogen peroxide to one part water and use it like a mouth wash. it whitens with out "bleaching" which is really bad for your enamel. it's also a lot cheaper.

This is what my Dentist told me, If you want to whiten your teeth, buy a whitening toothpaste, if you want to control tarter get a tarter controlling toopaste, and so on.. But dont buy one of those all in one toothpastes because they have so little of each ingredient that it don't work as well as it is suppose to!\n\nCrest Strips are good! Get yourself a whitening toothpaste and Use it with the Listerene Whitening pre-brush Mouth wash! You can see the difference the first time!

Spit yes. Rinse no. If you rinse, you just washed off all the fluoride and antimicrobial agents in your toothpaste.
