Ok so i drink coffee every morning, and 3 weeks ago i got braces!. The ortho showed me this pic!. of what happens if you dont take care of your teeth with braces!. I completely freaked me out! So in a panic that my teeth were going to look like that when i got my braces off, i automatically started drinking cofee and soda from a straw!. Wil this prevent cofee from staining my teeth or will it not make a difference!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Donna, I have braces and i drink coffee and wine!. I am brushing alot !. But you can drink what ever you want but brush after and when you get your braces off you can have your teeth whitened that is what i am going to do and it will work fine!. enjoyWww@Answer-Health@Com

I was told that eating sugary stuff that rots your teeth is ok as long as you brush your teeth straight afterwards, so I assume it's the same with coffee!. I'm exactly the same, I can't function without coffee! So I just have a cup then rinse with fluoride mouthwash!. I don't think drinking through a straw will help much because it still swishes round your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might help, but it would be better if you just cut them out completely until the braces are off!. You could end up with white squares on your teeth!Www@Answer-Health@Com
