Braces Posted: 07-15-07 18:52pm
I am getting braces soon and can't decide
wheather to get the clear or silver ones.
I am a coffee drinker and that is really
the only thing that is making me think
twice about getting clear is the
discoloration and having people think I
have rotten teeth or something. Anyone
have any input on this? I need to decide
this week and just can't so hopefully I
can get some replies.
Thanks

why would you not recommend the clear? I
don't have them yet, just want some
feedback.
Thanks

i would just be worried that the braces
would become stained if you ate anything
with color in them. Id ask about that and
if they say they dont . then go for the
clear. I didnt have clear and stained
those bands regularly. but the bands got
changed and looked like new again.

I got braces about 3 months ago. I opted
for the clear. (as an adult and from what
the Orthodontist suggested)
He ended up giving me clear on top and
metal on bottom. I like the metal much
better.
The clear just make my teeth look dirty.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up
getting the clear since I only have them
on top right now and they are doing really
well. The only thing I notice is that if I
drink coffee a lot the bands stain a
little.
