Help with clear braces?

Question:

I had a clear brace with clear elastic bands fitted a few days ago, I had a curry last night and the bands have turned yellow! I must have brushed them about six times already and the colour hasnt changed. how long will it take for the 'yellow' colour to disapear? How come the dentist didnt tell me that some foods would stain the elastic?! Are there any other foods I should steer clear of?

Answers:
The next time you want curry or anything that will stain, have them right before you go in for adjustment. The elastic will pick up not only the stain but any odor of the food you eat, sorry! Stay away from beets and spinach too!

Other Answers:
They are going to stay yellow I think you are tripping yourself out. My friend had them and hers were always yellow. I dunno why they say they are clear braces. Dont worry

well the curry wont come out your brace and your dentist should of told you or gave you a list of things your not aloud to eat but you are aloud to eat curry it only stains the bands

Hihihihi....my dentist didn't warn me about anything too...and the stain won't leave no mater how hard I tried...

What I did was going back to my dentist again and asked her to change it...

Since then I didn't eat anything with turmeric in it!

Try a tooth paste with bleaching properties not whitening. You should also talk to the dental office. They may have a product that will work better. Point out that you don't feel they explained what you should do to avoid stains well enough. Red wine is something that can easily stain as can teas, coffee and colas.

stay clear of coffee and cigarettes. You'll have to wait until your next visit to change the elastics.
