Whilst browsing my local Boots Chemist in the hope of finding a cure for my curry stained ligs...... I stumbled upon Pearl Drops Instant White for £6.95. Figured it was worth a try and took it home to paint my peggies. Hey presto! it covered the yellow tinge very well and left a pleasant pearlescent sheen on my brackets and ligs. It is supposed to last until you eat or brush your teeth but in practice I have found it stays on the ligs much longer and has a nice minty taste. After subsequent toothbrushing my ligs seem more tolerable and it also covers the wire rather nicely too. BONUS!
I'm so happy with it I don't feel the need to phone to my ortho for some new ligs...fits nicely in my purse too!
Hmm I might have to try this stuff, hope it doesn't permanently whiten them though, I don't want yellow dots on my teeth where the brackets were once my braces are removed :p
Yes it is only a temporary paint on veneer with a opalescent finish. It comes off quite easily when you brush. I find it handy after a curry before I get to the Ortho's to change the ligs.
