Choosing your
braces color can be hard. But here are some tips and info to help you choose
the perfect color for your almost perfect smile in training. Remember, choosing the color for your braces is a way to colorize your
mouth so make sure you pick unique colors.
Choosing the
right color depends on your skin tone. Lighter blue,
bronze, darker purples or blues and subdued tones of red or pink might
complement a lighter skin tone. Gold, turquoise, orange, green, violet or pink
may look super if you have a darker skin tone. Darker braces colors may make
your teeth appear whiter.
From my experience, I would recommend that you pick bright
color no matter what your skin tone. I have found that because darker colors
seem to fade easier. I had a purple color and when I first got the color is was
bright, but after a few weeks the color started to fade and you couldn't see it
at all. I currently have lime green. Lime green is a much brighter color and is
lasting longer.
I think popular colors include different shades of blue like
turquoise, teal, light blue but also pink and purple. If you are looking for
inspiration, you might want to pick color patterns like your school colors or
maybe something festive like Christmas colors.
Keep in mind, there are also colors that you should not
choose. Some of the colors that I think you should stay away from include:
black, white, yellow, green or brown. Black elastics may
mimic rotting teeth or food in your teeth. White may seem like a good choice
but may actually make your teeth appear more yellowed. Plus white elastics can
stain more easily. Likewise, if your enamel already appears slightly yellow,
yellow elastics will intensify this effect. Green or brown elastics can also be
mistaken for food.
Be courageous. Think of the first color you choose as a practice color.
After your first color, you will have more of a feeling of the next color you
wan to pick. Remember, your color is uniquely you so be happy and remember to
smile.
