The fun part of braces
Picking Your Braces Colors
For most kids and teens, choosing band colors is the best part of every visit. Here is how to pick colors you will love for the next six weeks.
Quick tips
What Works, What to Skip
- Darker colors like navy, purple and forest green make teeth look whiter
- School and team colors are the most popular combos in our office
- Silver or clear ties keep things subtle if you would rather not draw attention
- Skip white and yellow, they can make teeth look less bright
You pick new colors at every adjustment visit, so nothing is permanent. Go bold for Halloween, festive for December, and classic for picture day.
