Can i drink alcohol in moderation with a fixed dental brace or will it stain my teeth? specifically thinking of gin and slimline tonic or wine.

Yes, you can: Specifically gin and slimline tonic, and wine in moderation. Advantages of fixed bridges are: look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Stain: Many foods liquids can temporarily stain teeth, with or without braces being in place. These can include, coffee, tea, cola, mustard, saffron, red wines, dark beers, tomato sauce, saffron, and many other pigmented items. If teeth stain while braces are on they can be professionally cleaned. Ask your Dentist.
