I stained my saphire braces..please help
Hi. I got saphire braces 2 weeks ago without any elastic ligatures. Because I am a smoker, the brackets became a visible yellow which doesn't come out when I brush my teeth. Please help, I chose the saphire because I knew it wouldn't get stained but now after only 2 weeks they are looking bad.. I am washing 2 {content removed} 3 times a day and every time after eating something. What I don't do but intend to, is use mouthwash. Do I have any chance of regaining that initial transparent white color? I am so upset..Thank you!
