well, eight months into brace treatment (another year-ish to go perhaps) i've only just thought of asking this question!!
i drink **A LOT** of tea during the day, with no sugar and some milk.
i'm not worried about decay from this, but i've recently become worried that because i've got the bracket-things stuck to my teeth, i might be staining the parts of my teeth without brackets and not the parts with brackets, resulting in straight teeth but patchy colours when the braces finally come off.
should i switch to a herbal tea (which will be sooooo difficult for me, but possible!) whilst i'm still in braces??
btw, i'm not concerned about having sparkling white 'hollywood' teeth, so i don't need to stop tea altogether forever, i'm just worried about having patchy teeth, hence the question!
thanks
