What to do if I have braces and want soda?!?

Ok so I got my braces on about 2 years ago. My parents were pretty strict when it came to pop anyway so usually only had it about 2 times a week or when eating fast food. When I go to the orthodontist they always say my teeth look good but when I go to the dentist they always complain that I have a lot of plaque build up. Now that I'm at a boarding school I can drink of much of it as I want but I always use a straw. I guess this doesn't help much. I now have to go to the dentist for cleaning every 3 much. I'm now brushing my teeth for nearly 4 minutes and rinse and everything else after. They even said that I should get rid of pop completely! I've kind of always been hooked so this will be hard. I've decided to stop drinking it completely along with other sugary drinks after this week. Hopefully this will work and when I go back they will take me off this every 3 month visit.

My question is: what other types of drinks can I have? I know a lot of other people who drank soda and were fine but I guess I'm just special :/
