    I have had braces for a few months now and have cut down on the fizzy drinks but haven't stopped completely..

    I am starting to worry that when i get my braces off they will stain...

    Is drinking fizzy drinks really that bad for people with braces ..?

    They're bad enough in general nevermind braces

    and yes you'll have whiter spots on your teeth from under the braces, but unless you eat very plain foods I'd say that would happen anyhow

    besides making **** out of your teeth they'll make you fat and give you diabetes.
    Dont go substituting fruit juice or the diet versions for them either.
    And despite all the marketing, that lucozade is another horror. check out the rda at the side of it. one 250ml bottle a day will give you a belly like santa and teeth like shane mcgowan!

    braces are hard enough to manage with out making it more difficult by throwing acid and sugar at them. Go cold turkey it will be hard for a week but then your taste buds will change and you will lose the desire for these poisons!:)

    The more sugar you take the more you crave

    Used to drink litres of Lucozade daily and craved it when I gave it up

    Yep, quit cold turkey, you will stop wanting it after a while
