Power chain stain ?????

Thanks for all the kind words about my pics...my bite is so off though...it's annoying!!
Curry is the first thing I will be getting when I get these braces off. I have to drive about 3 hours to get any decent indian food though. Total bummer!

After less than 24 hours my elastics are now a pleasant fluorescent green

Fluorescent green? How did you manage that?

Perhaps I am exaggerating - the color is more a uniform yellowy-green. Curry for dinner was the culprit.

Aww...curry! I can only have curry the evening before an adjustment so I don't have to teach with yellow-green power chains. Can't wait to be able to eat curry again without planning and checking my schedule!

The grey ones are awesome.

I agree. I always go with grey ones as well.

I also avoid all of the staining foods until a few days before an adjustment.

Or you could be philosophical about it. To me, the staining doesn't look manky - because the colour is uniform, it just looks a little fruity.

i have a clear one and it does stain. i find that using crest vivid white rinse keeps them looking nice though

I have a light pink chain, and have not had any staining for the three weeks that I've had it on. I haven't eaten curry, but I have had spaghetti & lasagna. And earlier today all my teeth were covered in blood for like 45 minutes (wisdom teeth removed this morning). I brushed my teeth and do not notice any staining.
