ProviderLet Your New Smile Shine
Your braces are off, and your smile is straighter and healthier than ever – but you might notice your teeth look a bit discolored. Don’t worry, that’s totally normal, and teeth whitening can help.
While braces don’t stain your teeth, they can make it harder to clean effectively around the brackets and wires. This sometimes leads to discoloration that brushing alone can't fully remove.
To help you feel confident showing off your new smile, i-Orthodontics offers professional take-home whitening kits. It's a safe, effective way to brighten your teeth after treatment and put the finishing touch on your smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At i-Orthodontics, we don’t think cost should stand in the way of your care. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans and financing to help patients in Lone Tree, Cherry Creek, and Aurora manage the cost of orthodontic treatment.
Personalized Take-Home Teeth Whitening
You can brighten your smile right from the comfort of your home with our custom take-home whitening kits.
Here’s how it works: we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays designed just for your smile. You'll receive the trays along with professional-grade whitening gel to use at home.
Simply apply the gel to the trays and wear them according to the instructions provided by our team. We’ll let you know how often and how long to wear them to achieve the best results.
Each teeth whitening application brings you one step closer to a noticeably whiter, more radiant smile.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Read the answers to our most frequently asked questions about teeth whitening after orthodontic treatment.
-
Can I get my teeth whitened right away after orthodontic treatment?
At i-Orthodontics, every patient who completes comprehensive treatment receives a complimentary whitening kit to use with their retainers.
It’s the perfect way to celebrate and show off your new smile!
-
How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening is not permanent, and over time, certain foods and drinks like coffee, tea, wine, and berries can cause new staining. How long your whitening results last depends on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle.
The good news? Keeping up with a solid oral hygiene routine can help your smile stay bright longer. That said, many people choose to have a whitening touch-up about once a year to keep their smile looking its best.
-
Will my insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening?
Unfortunately, teeth whitening is not generally covered under most dental insurance plans.
-
Will teeth whitening make my teeth more sensitive?
Increased sensitivity can be a temporary side effect of teeth whitening. This sensitivity typically diminishes within a few days after a whitening treatment.
Using anti-sensitivity toothpaste when brushing for a couple of weeks before and after treatment can help to minimize discomfort.
-
Does teeth whitening work on all stains?
Some stains do not respond to teeth whitening treatments. Brown and yellow stains are usually the easiest to remove.
Speak to your orthodontist about whether teeth whitening is right for you.
-
Does teeth whitening work on dental restorations?
No. Teeth whitening can only be used to brighten natural teeth. They will not whiten existing dental restorations such as dental fillings, bonding, crowns, or veneers.
If you have crowns, veneers, or other restorations, speak to your orthodontist to determine the best way to achieve your desired results.
-
Will teeth whitening damage my tooth enamel?
Teeth whitening, when conducted by a qualified dental professional, is unlikely to harm tooth enamel. Consult your orthodontist to ensure you are using whitening products safely. If you experience any pain, sensitivity, or discomfort, let your orthodontist know right away.
