I had clear brackets not invisaline. I had a problem with the staining and I ended up getting a silver rubber band on them. If you get the silver rubberband it still looks just as good as when you had clear braces. Ask your orthadontist.

If you avoid most of the staining foods and drinks like Coke, coffee, etc. they will stay clear much longer. Over time they will start to yellow a bit, so be sure to get your teeth cleaned every 3 months while the brackets are on, that will help a lot. For home care, use a toothpaste that has stain fighting ability, it will say "whitening" on the tube and usually those help with stains. Another thing to try is to make a paste with baking soda and water and gently brush the brackets once a week with this. They make special toothbrushes for braces that have two rows with a shorter middle row so you can keep them cleaner, and also you can try a power toothbrush like a SoniCare that works wonderfully for preventing buildup of stain. With good home care, your clear brackets should stay looking nice and "invisible"! Good Luck..

I would change your mind. Coffee, mustard, tea, cokes, etc. can stain them and then in pictures or just in real life people would think your teeth were yellow. I have heard they do not work as good in the end as metal braces. WIth metal braces you get to pick colors to! and I think you have to wear invisalign longer.

a million. sparkling braces at the instant are not as massive as they used to. 2. sure, they stain. in case you consume meals like curry, or drink wine, they're going to stain. although, you may exchange the bands everytime, yet that'll in basic terms help plenty. 3. in case you do no longer desire braces, keep in mind that the sparkling braces are porcelain or ceramic and are not as solid because of the fact the steel ones. What does that advise? normally, you will might desire to placed on them somewhat longer.

first of all clear braces are a lot bigger than metal braces. I got them and when they put them on I was like what the hell? they are huge and the dental assistant said "oh yes we forgot to tell u they are bigger". Plus they turn yellow very quick. Try to avoid coffee, tea, sodas, popcorn, mustard, hard candy, gum, etc.
I took them off after 4 days! Hate them!

if you are getting the invisiline, you take them out to eat. having had braces i would strongly suggest invisiline. im sure they would be alot more comfortable than having a mouth full of metal.
