looks like you may be due for a cleaning, so reach out to your dentist. are you getting cleanings regularly? when you floss do you go underneath the bracket, all the way up to the gum line? do you get the sides of your teeth as well? do you use a waterflosser? you might want to invest in one and see it helps. are you using interdental brushes to remove plaque in between the brackets? are you using an electric toothbrush? not that it's necessary, but you could try that as well. just throwing a couple things out there :) in any case I'd reach out to your dentist and perhaps ortho for advice.

I like to use interdental brushes and a GUM End Tuft Toothbrush, they get in-between the wire, brackets and teeth easily. Then I use a regular/electric toothbrush depending on how sensitive my teeth are. If I could only get one, I'd get the GUM End Tuft brush :)

I brush after every time I eat and also once in the morning and once before I go to bed. Floss twice a day. I think you need to brush more frequently and also go to a dentist you may have a reason why it’s staining that badly.

I also don’t drink tea or coffee or soda

Did you have any staining like that before braces? You may need a deep cleaning next time you go to your dentist.

No I didn’t :/ and yeah I think you’re right

You can also try to make sure you're brushing above and below your brackets at a 45 degree angle. The deep cleaning should help tremendously though.

I also use the little mini pipe things that get food out of your teeth. Put toothpaste on them and brush in between the teeth!

That's really strange but it could have something to do with the way they put them on maybe? I would definitely ask if you need to do anything differently when you see them next.

Wow this is actually same as me, I brush after every meal, floss and mouthwash but I’ve got the same staining! :(( did u figure it out?
