I drink a lot of tea, and have braces. Is that a problem?!
I love drinking tea! I drink about 4/5 cups per day!. I don't have it very strong, just nice!
But I'm 17 and I have braces!.!.
My dentist never told me to stop drinking tea, just fizzy drinks (which I don't drink anyway)
And I'm really worried that when my braces come off (which is very soon) I'll have badly stained teeth!.!.
Has anyone else had this happen!? Thanks a lot for the helpWww@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
What happens is where your braces are glued on the tea is not getting to!. So it is possible that you will have a whiter shade on your teeth where your braces have been when they come off!. I had this happen and it was very slight!. I used over the counter whitening gel and it wasn't even noticeable!. I can't afford to get my teeth professionally whitened but if you can that would probably work better!. The best thing now is to cross your fingers and see what happens!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes it will stain, but you can have your dentist clean your teeth once the braces come off!. Or you can by Topal toothpaste, it is for smokers but does do a pretty good job cleaning your teeth if you use it regularly till the stains are gone!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
