Question:

Im getting Ceramic braces tomorrow.?

So i did a lot of research on them and i found out that they stain very easily,but i still decided to get them. So i know i can not eat foods with color like sauces, curry, and lots of juice, etc.but i was wondering what foods are okay to eat, and i already bought a travel toothbrush and kit that i will take everywhere with me and brush right after i eat. and i got those spinning tooth brushes. So basically i was wondering is this good enough and are there any tips on keeping them white and clean? Thanks.

Answer:

Not ALL grades of stainless steel are magnetic. Austenitic grades are the kind that is not.
I have ceramic braces too. I asked my orthodontist how to prevent stains, she said only the elastics will stain. (which get changed every month) The actual brackets will stay clear. I like to drink tea, so i started drinking it out of a straw to prevent staining. I had pizza for the first time with them a few nights ago. I was afraid the sauce would stain, but everything was fine. Just be sure to brush your teeth after every meal.
i have ceramic braces for almost a year and there still clean and white just brush them with a tree brush after every meal and drink ( i just go excuse myself to bathroom and carry a treebrush in my pocket or purse) but just eat what you want and brush them and you are good! Good Luck with your braces!!! and i LOVE my ceramics!!!!!
