Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi you guys do you have any extra recommendation on how to keep your teeth white or at least close to it hahah


4 days with braces .. and full of questions

Thank you

Avoid hot tea and don't drink too much red wine. And of course if you smoke, quit. Beyond that, brush after every meal, but not so aggressively you damage anything.

This is my question as well. I may just suck it up and get metals :/

i have clear on the top and metal on the bottom is not that bad we just have to keep them really clean !

I found out tomorrow if I am able to get braces. If I do....I will have clear on top and metal on the bottom. I drink coffee...but most time only 1 cup a day....I am hoping I will keep the staining away also.

I have stains on my teeth for not being very diligent about brushing after eating. What are some of the methods in removing these stains afterwards? Do orthodontist use anything special to buff them away after removing the braces?
