The best way to know is to have a simple conversation with our team. We will look at your smile, talk about your goals, and help you understand whether ILLUME® whitening is a good fit. Whitening may not be right for every patient, especially if you have certain restorations, sensitivity, or dental concerns that should be addressed first. If another option makes more sense, we will tell you honestly and help you choose the right next step.

Amazing office. My daughter loved having her treatment done here. Dr. Laurie is great as well as her entire team.
"I had an amazing experience here! From day one, the entire team made me feel so welcome and comfortable. The office is super clean and modern, and the doctor always took the time to explain every step of the process. I’m in love with my new smile—5 stars all the way!"
I have enjoyed my experience with Wheaton Orthodontics. The staff is extremely friendly and they always explain next steps, and what to anticipate. The office therapy dog is a highlight!! I definitely recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to whiten my teeth?
Many patients choose whitening after orthodontic treatment, once braces or aligners have helped move the teeth into their final position. Some patients also ask about whitening before a special event. We can help you decide on the timing that makes the most sense for your smile.
Can I whiten my teeth during orthodontic treatment?
It depends on your treatment and your smile. In many cases, whitening is best after active orthodontic treatment is complete, especially if you have braces or attachments. Our team will help you understand what is safe and appropriate before you begin.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may notice temporary sensitivity after whitening. We will talk with you about any history of sensitivity and help you understand what to expect. If your teeth are already sensitive, we can discuss whether whitening is a good fit or whether it should wait.
How long do whitening results last?
Results vary from patient to patient. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and everyday habits can affect how long your smile stays bright. We can give you simple tips for maintaining your results and help you decide if touch-ups may be useful later.
