i have very yellow teeth. i brush them everyday, and they're still discolored. it isn't genetics because my siblings all have white teeth. my parents don't bring me to the dentist. is there ANYTHING i can do to whien my teeth, or am i a lost cause?

May be it is due to biofilm which is formed within 2-3 hours of brushing and it also depends on type of food you eat on that day.

Why is it that my teeth are more yellow some days, compared to others?

Sometimes the tooth color is yellow in color only. The cause for this can be genetic. In such cases, how much brushing you do or whatever product you use is not gonna whiten your teeth. For this you need bleaching which can be at home or dentist. In your case, the bleaching from dentist will be more effective. If you want to have quick results then you can get in office bleaching otherwise you can get the bleaching trays made from dentist and get the material and you can use it at home. It also gives good results within 5-14 days depending on how much whitening you want.
