Well, I took my daughter to the orthodontist yesterday. I told him of my concerns with metals. He told me that the braces are stainless steel, which does contain some nickel. He was'nt aware of what they use to color retainers, but I told him I didn't want anything with red.

My question is: Knowing that my daughter will have this nickel containing metal in her mouth (she doesn't have amalgams, but has problems from her mother's mercury), what should I have her take to help with the things that she will be exposed to during this "braces" time? She already takes magnesium.
