Has anyone heard of those braces? (3m clarity , clear braces)

Does anyone have it ? please some more info please!!! thanks!

Here is a pic of me on the first day of braces--I have the Clarities on my top teeth--just so you can see what they look like on a real person
They look a little different in reality than how is does on their website.

I had Clarity brackets for almost 3 years and ate all sorts of staining food, including lots of curry.
The brackets themselves do not stain.
The elastic ligatures that are replaced on the brackets at each adjustment DO stain. If you eat a lot of foods which would cause stains, then it's best to avoid the clear or white ligature elastics and go for a color like light blue or silver.
