    Hi guys, im just wondering could anyone help, iv had ceramic braces put on a week and a half ago, and they've been fine. the only thing is that they've stained a slight bit. Im just wondering does anyone have any tips in order to un-stain them?
    Thanks

    Hi, im just got the ceramic braces fitted yesterday and they told me that if they get stained I could go in and the will change the bands for me. The actual ceramic part doesn't stain itself it's just the band.

    They said not to eat highly coloured foods unless I'm due in for my appointment where they will change the bands. You should just ring and ask them can they change them for you though.

    I find that pretty much everything I eat stains the bands, it doesn't bother me at all, possibly because not many people know I have braces.

    You could ask about another colour band?

    Did you use this in the end? My elastics are stained already and I really thought I was doing well with food choices :(
