Smoking with self-ligating ceramics
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:53 am
Hi guys,
I smoke about 5 a day (down from 20... trying to quit) and am looking to get ceramics soon. Even if I quit, most of my friends smoke so I'll still be around secondhand smoke... and so will my teeth!
I know that with ceramics, it's usually the ligatures themselves that stain. However, could the brackets themselves stain from smoking too? Are there any brands that don't?
