So I'm getting my braces off soon, and I was wondering if there are like really bad marks where the braces were and what I can do to prevent that. Thanks!

I don't think they leave you any marks but if they do I guess you can use whitening strips to even out the color

There usually isn't any marks! I had my braces off and my teeth looked normal. However, if there are any marks just brush your teeth many times throughout the day, use listerine or something like that.

My spots were barely visible. I used optic white toothpaste from Colgate.

No the dentists just try to scare you into brushing your teeth but usually once they are off its even coloring but your teeth may be a little yellow so use whitening strips.

I think it depends on how you took care of your teeth with braces. When I got mine off I didn't have any marks. My orthodontist gave me some teeth whitener to put in my retainer when I went to sleep. That helped them get whiter :)
