Q.
Hello the wires on my invu braces have turned a funny colour, almost a yellowy type colour that is not nice. i don’t really know why this has happened at all like this but you can really tell i’m wearing braces now, which defeats the purpose of even getting these braces, and it’s affecting my confidence. A few people at university have made awful comments about time and i’m considering just having them removed completely! can you tell me if there is a quick way i can get the wires to their original invisibility once more? I really don’t want to be wearing these braces for long if it is going to be like this. thanks.

Hello, In most cases it is actually more common for the elastics holding the wire in place to pick up some staining and discolouration. You may want to try a whitening toothpaste to see if this helps with the colour of the braces.
