Braces and Soda?!
Question: Ok, I am not a soda addict, at the most I have one in a week. But I am going to have my braces for 2 1/2 years. Will having them this long and drinking soda give me the white spots? (I usually rinse after drinking them)

If you are going to have soda drink it with a straw. I drank soda when I had braces with no problem. If you want to keep your teeth nice besides just brushing them use this stuff:
Act lll restoring mouthwash, it is the best stuff out there. I use it all the time at night and it restores enmal to the soft spots in your teeth. It does other stuff too.
It was fine for me.
No.
But if you drink soda and don't brush your teeth right after them, you can get enamel wear done. That's what I have, and trust me it sucks!
I have it close to the gums so they had to drill away at the wear done and replace it. Now when I'm 17 I have to get veneers.
Just remember to take great care of your teeth.
You may not want to hear this but you need to deal with the soda instead of your teeth.
you need your teeth when you get older and sugar is hard on the teeth. there is acid in sugar and it works on the serfice of the teeth but it also is mean becasue it works on the inside of the teeth through the blood.
Sugar is not good for other reasons also but back to your teeth. Braces will help to put your teeth where you want them to be when you get out of them but what better thing can you do for your teeth and you body than to drink water every day it not only keeps the body cleansese of the bad things we take in to our body such as food colors but the sugar and chemicals that are in the soda.
pretty teeth will need to be pretty from the inside so they do not rot or get cavities from the inside also.
Your best thought would be change to 6 - 8 glasses of water per day and your body will not be as desirous of fat foods sugar foods ingeneral once you restablish you diet.
One in a week is fine. you are obviously going to take good care of them and this is fantastic. Braces are a big commitment and the person has too be totally behind them and willing to make the changes in diet and make a really effert with the cleaning but i can see you care alot and are very willing to do this.
i highly recommend not drinking soda at all. when i had my braces i had a soda almost every day, i would only brush in the morning & at night. when i got my braces off, i had terrible white spots... they never go away unless you get them professionally whitened
no it wont
the thing that people with braces need to look out for are things like gum/seedish fish...etc ~chewing things
I had braces for 6 years. I'm not a huge soda drinker but I did drink it more than once a week. As long as you take care of your teeth like you normally would, you're fine. I only had 1 white spot and I had it before I even had braces. My dentist told me to use Crest white strips so it wasn't as noticeable. I got it the best I did then he just whitened it for free so it's gone now.
No worries ( :
