I want ceramic braces but my biggest concern is staining, what exactly is the ligature of the brace and is it possible to get it in a color?

[summerchic21]

@CsquaredR Yes the ligature is the rubber band or wire that goes around each bracket to hold in the main wire and you can get them in colours which don't stain as bad as the clear ones :)

I am also thinking about getting ceramic (clear) ones on the top and metal on the bottom..So im wondering how much did you pay in all with insurance? And how long do you have to have your braces? Thanks!

@NotoriousVick They said around 15 months I paid about $6000 au and get $600 per year back from insurance. It is probly different where you live tho. Good luck :)

So I'm getting braces this Friday, and I have to chose between clear or metal. I know the brackets don't stain but I'm worried about the ligatures... Where exactly are they and how easily can they stain? Also what precautions should I take so they don't stain? Thanks!

[summerchic21]

@samiraxkhan they are tiny rubber bands that go around each bracket, they get replaced at each appointment so even if they do stain you wont have them on forever. You just have to be careful not to eat currys with lots of spices and rich tomatoes things tend to stain the most also red wine. You may not have to wear all rubber ligs either sometimes they put white wire ones which dont stain on some teeth (I think the ones that need moving the most) . Good luck!

i got clear brackets and they put on glow in the dark ligaments that dont stain. it was either those, or the clear ligaments
