Many patients are concerned with what braces, Invisalign, Tooth Fairy aligners, or any teeth-straightening system look like.
Braces can be metal or white but are obvious to see as they are a little bulky and stick on the teeth. The wire and elastic can become stained over time hence they are more obvious compared to aligner systems.
Food and bacteria can get stuck around the braces – which means they can attract easy stains from foods such as pasta, Thai green curries or your local Indian.
