Braces taste weird and smell like poop?

I've had braces for a month now, and they're starting to taste really foul and ruin the taste of good food. They also smell disgusting.

I brush, mouthwash and also use WaterPik to clean my teeth. Its coming from the back of my mouth. Anyone else?

    I dont Wear Braces but im having the same problem i dont think its your braces but the stuff from the back of your mouth i think its the throat as to be more exact. and yea the bristle like white things smell like poo Lol im really paranoid my mom said if i look in the back of my throat ill see those things in my throat but i cant see my throat LOL. and she said thats what im spitting up she said it has something to do with your tonsils and although shes an medical assistant i dont think its my tonsils i feel no pain or anything and i dont even know where my tonsils are. so yea hope i helped a tad bit.

    That never happened to me. But I think you should get that checked out by the orthodontist!
