It is possible to whiten teeth while they have braces on them. The results tend to be less regular and even though the whitening agent will "soak" around the brackets somewhat it usually results in an uneven result. A more important thing to do is get you teeth in really good shape and avoid the white demineralization spots so common after wearing braces. By doing that you teeth will be ready to whiten to an awesome result.

Short answer: If you want or need it removed it will most likely require surgery. Longer answer: All extractions of all teeth, except those taken out with "floss and a door knob", are removed surgically as tissue is cut and bleeding occurs. That said there are differing degrees of complexity, difficulty, expertise, and experience that effect how complicated the surgery and how long the recovery period.
I have had 3 teeth chip in the past year. Is this normal?
Short answer - No that is not normal. If you have heavy wear or an aggressive life style that could explain the new developments and damage. If you have heavy wear, your teeth READ MORE
Short answer - No that is not normal. If you have heavy wear or an aggressive life style that could explain the new developments and damage. If you have heavy wear, your teeth may have reached the point where they have multiple areas of thin and/or unsupported enamel (the hard outer layer) which will now chip with even moderate force. A complete dental exam should help you diagnose the cause and come up with a plan to reduce or eliminate further damage and even possibly restore the damage done. Best of luck!
