Question:

For everyone who has/had ceramic braces?

How easily do they stain?Did you have to give up a lot of food so they didn‘t stain.Please help.I am getting them on thursday and I need to decide asap!

Answer:

I have ceramic braces on my top teeth, and I haven't had a problem with anything, but I try to avoid cokes, tea, coffee and Kool-Aid (especially red) as much as possible. Once in a while (on the exception of the cokes.they're not good to drink with ANY braces) is okay, but I make sure I rinse out or brush my teeth ASAP after drinking. I'd also avoid Indian food. Curry stains EVERYTHING. The main thing you should remember with ceramic braces is that if you stain them, it's not as easy as changing the bands out every few weeks. Those brackets are (hopefully!) the only ones you'll have. Good luck! EDIT: Yeah, that's exactly what my braces look like right now. Ceramic on top and regular on the bottom. I had silver bands on the bottom the first couple of times I had them adjusted, but I went out on a limb and tried the baby blue, and I actually like them! The last thing I want is my braces to be obvious, but the baby blue doesn't look bad at all.
Not as much as we should in the 1970's Sir Charles Court and Lang Hancock wanted to build a steel mill in Port Headland and the government fought it makes you wonder why.
