Hello If the doctor told you, they are intrinsic stains That means they are caused maybe due to fluorosis. Oral prophylaxis like scaling will not work in this case

Hai Intrinsic stains will not go with oral prophylaxis treatments like scaling Tea stains is not intrinsic stains As your doctor diagnosis  it is intrinsic stains means Its not tea stains Its might be flourosis After ortho treatment oral prophylaxis will be done then  Based  on severity of your stains  you can go for bleaching or veneers treatment instead of full crowns

Tea stain is not intrinsic stain and can be removed by scaling and polishing. But if the doctor has already diagnosed it as some sort of intrinsic stains ,it could be because of fluorosis . Depending on the severity of the staining you could try different methods of treatment other than full crowns ( bleaching/ veneers )

online consult followed by a treatment visit to the nearest experienced dentist
