To all the naysayers, you were wrong. The glue behind braces does indeed stain. This was one of the reasons that I did not get clear brackets. I can't stand that my teeth look so yellow now. On the first day that I got braces, the glue was undetectable. Now, 6 weeks later, I am sad to see the glue so stained. I brush my teeth many times a day and use a Waterpik. I don't let drinks or food sit on my teeth long. My oral care has been meticulous since I became a metal mouth. Sigh... If I had clear brackets, I would be ticked right now. Glad I switched to metal just before they started to put the ceramic ones on.
{Day 1 compared to week 6}
The top is looking great and the bottom front teeth are finally moving. Interesting thing to note-It has taken me 5 1/2 weeks to finally be able to bite into something with my front teeth. It was too painful up until this point.

Can you get a bleach treatment when they come off?
Oh yeah, I will definitely be getting my teeth whitened after all this metal is removed. ;)
