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.

Ooooh. Pretty...

I found red koolaid has much the same effect.

And atomic fireballs.

Among other things.

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...

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.

ACK!

Let's get a photo of that...

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.

I remember braces!!! I had them for yeeeeeaaaarrs.

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.

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!
