Do clear braces stain?!
Question:
Do clear braces stain?
I am getting clarity asthetic braces. And I was wondering if they stain or turn yellow. It is the kind of braces where the bracketts are clear and all u see is the wire. If they do stain is there any way to get the stain out?
Answers:
I recently had those clear braces for a year.
I was warned about them staining with Coffee, tea and foods like curry. However I'm a lover of Indian food went right ahead and spent a year eating curry and drinking coffee and tea.
The braces didn't stain at all. Even if they did, being clear a little yellowing would have brought them closer to your tooth color, but they did not stain at all.
I would not worry about it.
Aesthetically they worked great. Many people did not notice they were there unless I smiled widely enough to reveal the wire and even then it didn't look bad. A wire alone doesn't give you the metal mouth effect.
