Visitor asks:
Kind regards,
I have been wearing fixed braces for almost 1 year (upper jaw only). I would like to know whether procedures such as whitening or reshaping/leveling teeth (making them longer or shorter) in the lower or upper jaw are possible while wearing braces. Thank you for your answer. Kind regards, Mateja
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A whitening procedure would be difficult to perform in the presence of fixed braces because brackets are bonded to the teeth. A procedure to lengthen the incisors with composite (a technique similar to making a white filling), however, can be performed. Whitening the teeth in the lower jaw is possible because you do not wear braces there.
We look forward to your visit!
