You are having crowding in your teeth so chances of deposits are more , its better you consult a dentist and show your case clinically and get scaling done and ask your dentist to teach proper brushing technique because improper brushing also leads to sensitivity.

Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with fluoride toothpaste. Consider using toothpaste specially designed for sensitive teeth. Use small, circular movements with a soft- to medium-bristled brush. Try to avoid brushing your teeth from side to side. Change your toothbrush every two to three months, or sooner if it becomes worn. Don't brush straight after eating - some foods and drinks can soften the enamel of your teeth, so leave it for at least an hour before you brush. Have sugary foods, and fizzy and acidic drinks, less often. Try to have them just at mealtimes. If you grind your teeth, talk to your dental team about whether you should have a mouthguard made, to wear at night. If you are thinking about having your teeth bleached, discuss sensitivity with your dental team before starting treatment. Visit your dental team regularly, as often as they recommend.For any more query or treatment visit us today.Dr Ratnika Agarwal , Dental Surgeon/Owner of Smile Up Dental Care & Implant Center ,PUNE

Hi, The reason for sensitivity is because of aggressive brushing or gum problem.For yellowish teeth get a teeth cleaning done followed by teeth whitening.Brush twice daily with soft bristle toothbrush & gentle strokes.For sensitivity use a mouthwash.Considering the alignment you can consult a braces specialist.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You can use a different type of toothpaste like hydent-k to brush your teeth twice a day.
It should reduce, if it still doesn't, consult a dentist in person for further evaluation and management. He will be able to help you.
Best regards.
