TRANSFORM YOUR SMILE
WITH FUN COLORED BRACES
WHAT COLOR BRACES WILL YOU PICK?
There are many colors of braces to choose from.
With metal braces, you’ll notice small rubber bands, known as ligatures, around each bracket on your teeth. These rubber bands aren’t just functional; they’re also a fun way to customize your braces. They hold the wire in place to keep your teeth moving in the right direction, but you also get to choose the colors! From bright blues to soft pastels, you can switch up your rubber bands at each appointment, making your braces a unique and colorful part of your look.
Most people who have braces, can have them for months, or a couple of years. But the best part about having braces, is having a little fun with them. There are many colors of braces that you can choose. Or you can alternate colors on different teeth!

What Colors of Braces are best and which should you avoid?
The most popular colors of braces bands are shades of pink, orange, red, green, blue, yellow, and purple. Your orthodontist can help you pick the right colors for you.
Here are some suggestions when choosing the color for your braces.
Favorite color: Pick a color that you love! Or choose more than one color, like a rainbow!
Match your outfit: Take a look at what colors appear most in your closet and then pick a braces color that best complements your style! To play it safe you can pick a neutral color that closely matches your teeth, so it can go with any outfit or occasion.
Holiday Spirit!: St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July, Christmas, etc. It’s fun to have your braces match upcoming holidays. Also, your braces color could bring a stylish look to any special occasions like weddings and graduations.
Your favorite sports team: Put your favorite team colors on display with your braces!
Colors that complement your eyes: Green bands on braces would best complement brown eyes. Blue, pink, and lilac complement blue eyes; while purple, red, green, and orange intensify green eyes.
No color is also a color! – If you don’t want to make a statement with your braces, Invisalign clear aligners may be the right choice for you. Ask Dr. Murray if he thinks clear braces would be a good fit.
Braces Band Colors and your Skin Tone
You can choose braces colors that fit your skin tone. If you have dark or olive skin, opt for bright jewel tones, like gold, turquoise, violet or navy. If you have fair skin, cool colors look best, so try silver, sky blue, light pink or lilac. Braces wax is clear so it won’t change the colors. Choosing colors based on your skin tone makes sure your braces always look good. Don’t be afraid to pick a colorful braces combination!
