Let me take this opportunity to clear the misconception that undergoing Orthodontic treatment causes permanent stains - No, it doesn't! However, it is quite natural for plaque to be retained due to the brackets and other Orthodontic attachments bonded to teeth.
Next Steps
Get a round of scaling done and use Orthodontic brush to thoroughly brush henceforth.
Health Tips
Brushing after every meal helps maintain good oral hygiene for most Orthodontic patients.
