When i got them off i had no marks at all except for this one bad one kinda in the back of my mouth. its a permenant black kinda spot stain but its so minor and nobody can see it at all. You will be fine..just make extra efforts to brush your teeth really well while you have your braces on and you should be fine. im sure if you do have some stains when they come off that the orthadontist will know exactly what you should use. just for now remember to brush your teeth extra good
