Hi all- I hope this hasn't been asked before. I ran a quick search and didn't find anything.

I have ceramic uppers, and as I have self-litigating brackets, I haven't needed any clear ligs. Today though at about 9 months in I did have a clear powerchain put on. I don't drink dark soda and rarely coffee (if I do it has lots of cream/milk in it), but in the winter I do like some hot chocolate to warm up. Should I be worried about this staining the way coffee can? Thanks in advance.

When I have chocolate, sometimes it can make my clear ligs a little darker but this goes when I brush my teeth so it shouldn't cause any permanent staining like coffee does.

I have never had a problem with hot chocolate. Just be sure to brush right after you drink it.
