Whiter, brighter teeth: Tips on keeping those pearly whites stain free!

We all dream of having a bright, photo-ready smile. At VCO Orthodontics in Arlington, Virginia we can help make that dream come true! Not only do we make whitening your teeth simple and manageable with all lifestyles, but we also provide helpful tips on maintaining those pearly whites to extend your whitening treatments as well!

Whether you just had your braces taken off and want to do finishing touches on that perfect new smile, or you simply want to upgrade the smile you currently have, whitening your teeth is easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Ask about either our at-home whitening treatment if you’d like to gradually whiten your teeth at a pace you’re comfortable with! At VCO Orthodontics, we offer custom whitening trays with bleaching concentrations of 10% or 15% depending on your teeth’s sensitivity. This custom whitening treatment allows you to monitor the brightening of your teeth as you go so you can custom tailor the results!

2. Along with an at-home treatment, we also provide in-office whitening that takes care of your needs in one efficient session! If you’re pressed for time and need results instantly for an upcoming wedding, important event, or simply because you’re one who enjoys instant gratification, we’ve got you covered! Our in-office treatment will have your teeth whiter and brighter in under an hour!

Want to extend the results of your whitening treatment? Maintain those pearly whites with a few helpful dietary tips & tricks! If you’re a big coffee drinker, simply drink it through a straw to prevent your teeth from becoming darker. Are you more of a wine-o? You can use this same straw trick for those pesky red wines that also stain your teeth! Foods such as curry & tomato sauce will also cause staining, so it’s best to avoid eating those while whitening your teeth as well.

We can’t wait to help you achieve your dream smile whether with braces, Invisalign, or whitening! Call today to schedule either option of a whitening treatment if you’d like to freshen up your already gorgeous smile! If you’re a patient in braces or Invisalign, ask about our VIP plan that has custom whitening trays built into the treatment package! Our whitening options are sure to make you SMILE!
