Braces lesson #246

Do not eat saffron rice (or curry) while wearing braces, unless you like your chains and such to be permanently died yellow for the duration.

  1. Ooooh. Pretty…

    I found red koolaid has much the same effect.

    And atomic fireballs.

    Among other things.

    :)

  2. My friend had braces for most of her teenage years and had a real addiction to red pistashios. Ooohh… not a good look. Not only was her mouth constantly bright red/pink, but the pistashios would get caught in her braces and would apparently hurt like a mother…

  3. Happens to me ALL the time! Try putting a little baking soda on your toothpaste before you brush – it helps to get those lovely yellow stains out.

  4. Can’t (unless I’m stupid enough to do it again), the orthdontist’s assistant removed my stained chain yesterday to install a bigger, badder one.

  5. Oh Stolie, how can you be so cruel as to say that?! My orthodontist said they’re coming off in about 2 months, so I’m pretty psyched for that. Wearing my box bear rubber bands during the work day is giving me a headache. Urgh.

  6. Sigh, I just got ceramic braces on a few days ago. I miss curry already!! I can’t believe it is going to be YEARS until these things are off.

    Lucky that yours will be off soon!
