Do you have clear braces, or metal ones? You can try getting silver or gray ligatures instead because they don't stain at all. Another option is getting pink. I have pink right now because I found the silver ones too dark; I had turmeric yesterday and my ligatures have now turned to a coral/peachy color, which I'm fine with.
It's always worth it for curry. I usually wait until my last few days before adjustments but this time I just didn't care and had curry after about a week. Yeah, I have yellow ligatures, but they're only noticable close up. And now they're already stained, I don't have to worry about what I eat for the rest of the month
