Teeth with Braces: What are some ways to keep teeth white with braces?

What are some ways to keep teeth white with braces?
I've been told your teeth go yellow with braces,
and there ways to keep them white?

Answer
Unfortunately, your teeth will be a little stained just from having braces. But this can be easily remedied after they are taken off. While you have them on, brush as you normally would and then go in between each bracket with a small cone shaped brush. Also, swish with mouthwash to kill any germs that you can't get to because of the brackets. I hope that I helped. ^_^

When You get them on your ortho usally shows you how to brush
but if they didnt it's pretty similar to how you usally would brush!
Just go in cirles over each tooth, get the back, behind teeth, over brackets, and under wires. To get under wires you need to angle your brush first up, and brush in circles over all your teeth, then down and brush in cirles. Your bristles on your toothbrush should be under your wires. This will take a little longer than you are used to, but after a while you are used to it! (source: Yahoo! Answers)
