I noticed 1 or 2 of my front bottom teeth are beginning to become transparent like around the outer edge...how bad is this?! Is this from using at home whitening products (off and on use)?

Like outer edge where you chew?

uhm, sounds pretty normal to me. Are you sure you're not just looking at your teeth closer now that you're whitening them?

lol, maybe I am just looking at them a lot closer..I did just get my braces off 2 months ago (2nd time having them 😡 ) and am very critical about how my teeth look right now...I still don't think they are anywhere NEAR how I want them to be, but I guess they are better than they were before.

From my experience that can happen if you whiten too much. What shade are you? Not blonde...(Sorry, I had to say it...just playing) I have seen pts who are pseudo OCD about any color at all in their teeth. They bleach so much that the incisal edge where there is no underlying dentin and the enamel is thin and it looks transparent to blue...

good luck blondi. Congratulations on getting your braces off.
