I made a BIG MISTAKE one day when I ate mustard on my sandwich
The bonding (glue) on my teeth around my brackets turned yellow and my white ligatures turned yellow - SO TO ALL of you out there - BE CAREFUL WHEN EATING MUSTARD!
Usually you can't even see the glue around my brackets unless you look super close but after eating the mustard, it was bright yellow and my poor ligs! I brushed my teeth right away with Crest Whitening Toothpaste and it was still a faint yellow!!!
Luckily, I had an appointment a few days later to get a wire snipped since it was digging into my cheek and while I was there, they decided to tighten my braces and change my ligs - YAY! - instead of me coming in 2 weeks later like I was supposed to. Now I have bright/neon pink ligs and never again am I getting white ones!
Has anyone else had a horrible teeth/ligature staining experience?
Thanks for all replies in advance!
