Why do People wear Colored Braces?
The braces treatment can be made fun, especially if you opt for the traditional metal or ceramic braces. There are many components that are used for a braces treatment. The part of braces that comes in different colors is the elastic ligature tie or elastic bands. These bands will be removed from the brackets every time you go for a review appointment and will be replaced after the wires are tightened.
This is why it is possible to change the color of these bands regularly and make your treatment process a lot more fun. People can add a colour to their smile and make the braces look attractive to flaunt them for every smile!
People wear colored braces to match their favorite teams, their country flag or just pick their favorite colors. It could be boldly used to make a statement and help add a zing to their routine.
Common colors of braces include shades of red, blue, green, yellow, purple, pink and orange, as well as black. But check with your orthodontist before you begin deciding your colors.
Keep in mind some colors you may want to avoid:
- Black elastics may seem to appear like rotting teeth or food in your teeth.
- White may seem like a good choice but may actually make your teeth appear more yellow. Also, white elastics can stain more easily.
- Similarly, if your enamel already appears slightly yellow, yellow elastics will intensify this effect.
- Green or brown elastics may be mistaken for food in your teeth.
