I’m 22 years old and getting braces. An adult with braces? Yuck, I know. Anyway, because of my age and my job (I meet with tons of people world-wide daily), I have opted to get clear braces instead of the silver metal ones for my appearance’s sake. I already look way young for someone my age (about 16 or 17) and getting traditional braces would be grounds for people in corporate America to pretty much think they could push me around because I’m "so young". The problem is that, like pretty much every other early-bird, I have to drink at least one caffeinated beverage every morning in order to function. The problem? Coffee, tea, dark sodas, etc, will all stain the clear bands on my braces. I’m looking for an alternative to dark drinks, maybe something like caffeine pills. Has anyone ever tried caffeine pills? If so, what were the results? Do they actually work? Also, what are some alternatives to dark caffeinated beverages, excluding white & green tea? I tried energy drinks and don’t like the way they taste and how I crash around 3pm because the “energy” dies off. Any suggestions/tips/advice are greatly appreciated!
