Need a cup of Coffee!

#1 Post by Lola »

Have cermic braces since Monday, was told to give up tea coffee red wine etc... easier said than done! If I have one cup of coffee will it cause staining?

Oh gosh, Lola, I couldn't imagine how hard that must be for you! Get yourself some coffee, girl! I have not had ceramics, but know others who did and still drank coffee without problems. Good luck with that!!

I have upper ceramics and there's no way that I would give up coffee. I drink many mugs/cups a day. I haven't had any staining.

Have a cup and be happy :D

HI Lola,

im about to have the same setup as you and was also concerned about coffee as i am similarly afflicted with a caffine addiction. I posed the same question a couple of weeks ago and have quite a few replies so have a look through my old thread.

viewtopic.php?t=24317

I have a JOB in IT and start work at 7am, so i need my damn coffee! arrggghh.

hehe. :)

Big Hug!

Thanks Martin! I am pretty worried about staining but I can't give up everything. I am addicted to red wine, curry, tea and coffee all of which i was told to avoid! I did quit smoking prior to bracing so am quite relieved with that one. Work at 7 too- understand coffee need completely!

Lola,

I always carry a bottle of water with me and after I have coffee especially when I'm out, I'll do take a drink and swish too.

Enjoy!

Relax!! DRINK YOUR COFFEE!!!

Ceramic brackets DO NOT STAIN!

The rubber ligs may stain, depending on the color you choose. If you have clear or white, there will be staining. Many on here choose pearl or silver to be more discrete without the staining.

Otherwise, choose dark ligs and you'll be fine.

Again, BRACKETS DO NOT STAIN!. I'm a little surprised your ortho told you they would. :?:

staining or no staining, I wouldn't give up coffee, tea or curry.

But Jennie and Meryaten are of course correct, so there's no need to give up your favourite drinks.

I have got also ceramics and i have at least 6 cups of coffe and a box cigarettes a day and once a week a glass of red wine. I had never ever any stains on the brackets. And with a minute of extra brushing even my 3 months old silver rubber ligs aren't looking too bad.

Just try it, it's not a big deal clean the brackets and change the ligs.

DRINK THE COFFEE

#12 Post by lindesd »

I couldn't give up my coffee either. So, believe it or not, I drink my coffee thru a straw to avoid staining. I know it sounds crazy, but it seems to be working!

GO GET THE COFFEE.

Sorry for the misunderstanding..I am aware that the ligs and not the brackets stain, and that they are changed, but I don't really want to stain them and have to live with them for a few weeks like that. I was told I could drop in at any time to have them changed if they did stain, but I'd rather not have to do it a lot. Had a glass of red wine last night...through a straw!!! Abstinence was never my strong point! I wouldn't have been able to relax drinking it normally so it was a straw or nothing!

I had a cup of coffee the other day for the first time since getting my braces on and no damage was done! Great news because I tried to live without it but I couldn't last long (only a week). :-*
