Hi, I'm 26 and I have the ceramic braces on top, I don't have any braces on my bottom teeth. For some reason, I noticed that the ceramic braces are changing color on me. They are starting to turn yellow!! Which is making my teeth look yellow. I brush all the time everytime I eat. (At least 5 times a day) My bottom teeth look alot whiter then my top teeth. Is there anything I can do? I get my first visit to get them tightened in 2 weeks. Can they change the ceramic braces to make them white again? How does that work??

CERAMICS WILL STAIN..THATS THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK. UNFORTUNATELY IT CANNOT BE WHITENED. IF IT BOTHERS YOU, YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE TO METALS IF YOUR TREATMENT IS STILL VERY LONG OFF FROM TERMINATING

I work in an orthodontic office and we do not recommend ceramic braces because they stain easily from things such as tea, coffee, cola, red sauces, etc. unfortunately there is not really anything you can do even if you have them change them they will change color again.
