New braces advice.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section. One of my kids had braces put on today. He was told to use a disclosing tablet before brushing his teeth before bed. He did this and followed the instructions. The glue holding the brackets is now stained pink despite brushing, rinsing and also using mouthwash and rinsing. Will this fade? Is there anything that can be used to get rid of it e.g. toothpaste with baking soda as an ingredient? His teeth are really clean so I doubt it is plaque as only on the glue. It just looks like the glue has taken up the stain but it can't be removed and is now a pale pink colour. Any advice/experience would be much appreciated. Thanks

Mine were never told to do that, I’d give the orthodontist a ring.

Worry over. The colour on the glue had faded by the morning.
