Metal Mouth Message Board

Hey Everyone,
I'm the original poster and didn't know this topic would become so popular! Anyways, I wonder about the clear ligs getting stained as well. I get my braces this Friday (about time). Maybe I'll be brave enough to try?! I'm getting ceramic brackets on top, but am looking at getting the pearl color (if my ortho has it) instead of clear.

If I'm brave enough I'll let you know how my ligs turn out Maybe I'll ask for 1 clear lig towards the back just to check it too.

We'll figure this out someday

Anyone brave enough to try it with the clears yet???

Just waiting for mine to arrive in the mail next week and I'll try it with lavender ligs...

I think I might get blue ligs and try it out with them next week. Worst case senario I end up with a darker shade of blue than I started with.

I have to share a silly story about the rinse. I bought some yesterday and decided to try it out last night before bed to see if I did a good job brushing. When I opened my mouth I saw all this dark blue around my molars and freaked out for a second. I thought there is no way I'm THAT bad at brushing my teeth. Then I remembered the 7 evil little blue spacers I had put between my teeth earlier in the day. My husband had great fun laughing at me and my brain fart.
In the end I had done a good job of brushing and only had one little spot to go over again.

So far I have used this product regularly every day with the following color ligatures:

Pink
Yellow
Lt. Green
Blue
Silver

No color change whatsoever.


Cheers,

I've been using it since Thurs with clear ligs and no staining at all.

when u use this product, are u just supposed to spit out the excess or rinse gently with water then check?

The directions say to rinse for 30 seconds, spit out the excess, and then brush all the blue off with toothpaste.

That makes me feel better.
Been waiting for my rinse to arrive in the mail and I don't know if I will get it before my adjustment Thursday. I wanted to try it on the lavender ligs but I think I'm switching to silver at my adjustment and I was a bitg worried about staining them.

For those in Australia who want to try this product, (and myself), I have just got off the phone to Pfizer in Sydney (02 9850 3333), and I was directed to the Caringbah office, then directed AGAIN to the "Oral Care" section. I have left a voice message for the secretary of that section to possibly get back to me.

I said in the message I left that a friend of mine came back from America and said they used this product over there, and I have braces, and when would this product be sold her in Sydney, and the stockists.

I will keep all appraised as to the response!

I would really like to buy this product here. I hope we can....

I have recieved a phone call from a rep at Pfizer, who said that the product would NOT be in Australia for ANOTHER YEAR. Rats.

I am hoping to go to Singapore and Hong Kong early next year, so I will report on my findings as to whether or not the product can be purchased there.

Hello All

I bought the Agent Cool Blue by Listerine originally for my 5 year old (who has been brushing since before she actually has teeth). I also started using it myself, and I like it. Wish they would have had this stuff when I was a kid. She likes to do it all by herself and so far so good. No cavities !!! I also picked up these crazy flossers and she thinks that is great fun. I feel like my hobbies are clean the house, the kids and my teeth!

I bought the Agent Cool Blue by Listerine too and I enjoy the taste and all of that but I dont think it really works and won't buy it again for that purpose. I have used it after cleaning my teeth (just to test it out) and the dye pattern of the blue doesn't seem to very different than from when my teeth are obviously dirty. I don't think my brushing/flossing is that bad.

I did notice that it will dye food particles, but there is also that overall blue that covers the teeth and will indiscriminately come off with a bit of toothpaste. I hate the taste of disclosing tablets and have only ever used one of those that I have owned since getting braced, but I think they're better for the job of disclosing plaque by far.

I bought the Agent Cool Blue and have used it a few times, but the only thing I'm concerned about is that it will stain my clear ligs eventually. =/
