My braces come off after 2 weeks. My teeth are a little small in shape and slightly yellowed in color. I want to have teeth whitening and composite bonding, what should be the order?

After the braces are removed, the gums are expected to recover for 1-2 weeks. Then, teeth whitening is done first. Wait 10-15 days for the color to set, and then bonding is done according to that color.

The absolutely correct order is: 1) Bracket removal and professional polishing (waiting 7-10 days for the gums to rest), 2) Office type bleaching (teeth whitening), 3) Waiting at least 10-14 days for the color to stabilize after bleaching, 4) Application of composite bonding or porcelain laminates suitable for the final color obtained.
