Choosing the best colors for your braces can be a fun way to express your personality while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Most patients opt for colored elastics that can be changed at each appointment. Popular color choices include:
- Black: Sleek and bold.
- Blue: A vibrant, popular choice.
- Green or Purple: Fun and unique.
- Clear or Silver: Subtle and less noticeable.
- Red: Bold and eye-catching.
Tips for Choosing the Best Color
- Skin Tone: Darker colors like black, blue, or purple tend to complement lighter skin tones, while brighter colors like teal or red can contrast beautifully with darker skin tones.
- Personal Preference: Some patients prefer neutral tones (clear or silver) for a more discreet look, while others enjoy switching colors for a more playful style.
- Avoid Certain Colors: Be cautious with white or yellow, as they may make your teeth appear stained or discolored.
Popular Combinations
- Black and Silver: For a chic, sophisticated look.
- Blue and Green: Bright and fun, especially for younger patients.
- Red and White: Festive during the holiday season or to show school spirit.
