You did everything right. You wore your braces, made it to every appointment, and the big day finally came — brackets off, new smile revealed. Then you noticed them. Small chalky patches on your enamel, right where the brackets used to sit.
White spots on teeth from braces are one of the most common concerns we see after treatment. The good news: they’re largely preventable, and when they do show up, there are real options. This isn’t something you’re stuck with.
