How do you prevent stains after braces taken off/sensitive tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stain or scar?: Food pigments that discolor teeth are not a problem. Your dentist can polish the stains away. Scars, formed when bacteria not adequately removed from around braces, which are areas of enamel damage, require restorations. Ask your orthodontic specialist for best orthodontic oral hygiene techniques.
