MARQUEZ, José Fernando; PEDROZA-GARCES, Andrea  and  VILLADA-CASTRO, Mauricio. Tooth bleaching before, during and after orthodontic treatment. CES odontol. [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.54-62. ISSN 0120-971X.

Currently there is a significant increase the in demand for procedures associated with dental esthetics. As a result, in recent years many systems have been developed for tooth bleaching through different forms of application. Despite its widespread use, it has been argued that this process can alter not only the structure of the enamel surface, but can interfere with bonding procedures required to carry out orthodontic treatment. Different studies have showed that in patients receiving dental treatment clearance, adhesion processes are not as efficient as those who did not. This article presents a literature review on the current state of tooth bleaching, and the relationship and / or effect on orthodontic treatment when it is done before, during or after bleaching.
