Just ate curry and my ligs DIDNT stain!?

[30yearoldbraceface]

I have ceramic braces on top and bottom with white ligs..I am due for my first adjustment appointment tomorrow morning, so I thought I'd go "wild" and eat a curry for supper seeing as it won't matter if they turned yellow or not.

As I enjoyed my curry, I kept imagining my ligs turning colour as I chewed.. Much to my amazement they where still white when I went to go brush my teeth!!

Has anyone had ceramic braces with clear / white ligs that didn't stain no matter what you ate?? I've been avoiding food that I think might stain my ligs, but now it seems I've been worrying over nothing as they didn't even slightly change at all haha

I also have ceramic brackets and usually get white power chains. Every time I have eaten curry my chains turn neon yellow. It only lasts for a day or so and then they fade back to mostly white ! You must have gotten really lucky with your ligs! I remember the last time I ate curry it was during my lunch break at work and in the middle of talking my coworker says "wow, did you get glow in the dark chains this time?" They really were very bright yellow!

I guess it is great that they didn't stain! I had a friend with ceramic braces who got baby blue ligs and brushed them with baking soda for a few days to turn them white and then said they never stained like the clear or white ones did...

I've had my ceramic brace with white ligs for two weeks and EVERYTHING seems to stain them! They're a very fetching yellow atm My next appointment isn't for 4 weeks but they have very nicely told me to pop in to get them changed. Judging by the discussions I've read I think I will go for smoke, silver or pale blue if they have them
