I just wanted to share with everyone that I found a new(new to me) toothpaste in the local Walmart or Wally-World as I call it. It's called Topol Professional. It's main purpose is to clean tobacco, wine, coffee and tea stains( I don't use any of these things but I thought what the heck, Why Not). I had never heard of Topol but since I had used every other brand in the past 2 years I gave it a try. My ligatures and powerchains looked brand new after only one treatment. I had already scheduled an appointment with my ortho to change my clear ligs and chains because they were so discolored, and I am actually considering cancelling it.
No harsh abrasives or bleaching agents, and it freshens breath, fights cavities and protects future stains.
This product may not be a cure for everyone, but it was for me. I hope that you can find and try it. Who knows, it may work for you too.
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being clear and 10 being super yellow, I would give my ligs and chains an 8. The toothpaste only cost $2.38 plus tax. Definitely worth it's price. I would honestly pay more. My results were amazing. I am so glad to have found this product. I wish I had found it sooner.
Drugstore.com list the price for Topol Professional as $3.99 for a 2.7 oz tube. Walmart is cheaper because its Walmart. Shop around I am sure you can find it for a reasonable price.
