If you’re thinking about getting braces, you probably want to know if certain colors are more or less popular among your peers before you make your final decision. You’re also probably wondering which colors will suit you best, as well as what you can do to make your braces look their cutest! We have the answers to all of these questions and more in our latest guide on cute braces colors and how they affect the way people perceive you. Check it out now and give yourself an edge over your peers with the information you learn today!
A) White
White is a very conservative color; it’s almost always worn by people who don’t want to make a statement. If you’re someone who wears bright and vibrant clothing but still want your braces to stand out – or if you just love white – white is always a safe choice. The only potential downside to white is that it can be difficult to keep clean and maintain because of how pale it is. White braces are not suited for those with dark stains on their teeth, either; they tend to stand out and become harder to cover up. Overall, however, white braces are one of the best ways to go if you want something that will blend in with your teeth while simultaneously standing out among them.
B) Yellow
In ancient times, yellow was seen as a light shade of brown—or even green. But today yellow is often considered one of the safest and most versatile colors when it comes to fashion. It’s a great pick for women in their 20s and 30s who are just starting to build their wardrobes. Wearing yellow won’t make you stick out like a sore thumb at work or in class; instead it provides a nice bit of color that breaks up all that neutral clothing you wear every day.
C) Clear
In most cases, clear braces will be your best option if you’re looking for something cute. Clear braces are almost invisible and make your teeth look natural. Even if you have bright pink or yellow brackets, your teeth still won’t clash with a clear-braced smile. However, one downside of clear braces is that they cost a bit more than other types of braces; because they only involve minor adjustments to your teeth—if any at all—you might not see results as quickly as other types of treatment options. Clear braces typically take anywhere from six months to a year to complete treatment. Be sure to consult with a professional when it comes time for a consultation so that you can find out which option is best for you.
D) Black
Black is probably one of your best bets when it comes to braces colors. It can be worn with just about anything and is perhaps most easily paired with another darker color like brown. It also won’t show food or drinks stains as easily as lighter colors do. Remember: dental hygiene is always important, especially when wearing braces! We know black isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it will help make that mouthful of metal more appealing. If you really want a color other than black (because let’s face it—who doesn’t?), brown might be a good second choice for its subtlety and ability to blend into all sorts of outfits.
E) Teal
The last few years have been very popular for teal. There are several ways to pull off teal braces. First is a soft and subtle pop of color. Pair your teal with a natural hair color for contrast or pair it with another bold color like red or purple to give it a more modern feel. Teal pops in both two-toned hair and multi-colored locks, so experiment! Teal can also be pair with other colorful hues such as orange and blue if you prefer something softer than single-color braces. Whatever you choose, no matter how bold or subdued they are, your friends will want to know what they’re doing to get those cute color braces!
F) Pink
From tie-dye to pastel pink, girls and boys both love pink. Though you may be thinking that there isn’t a lot of variety in shades when it comes to braces colors in general—it’s true that your orthodontist doesn’t offer a rainbow of choices when it comes to choosing your braces color. But if you aren’t a fan of bright pink or barbie pinks—you can still have fun with these funky shades. Bright blue and purple are also popular brace colors among young adults who want to stand out from their peers without being too flashy or over-the-top.
G) Neon Green
For example, neon green braces may not be so cute in a job interview. That said, many teens love bright colors and may love having their braces match their personal style. For teens who are going through orthodontic treatment for a long time period—like 2 years or more—braces colors that have some personality to them can make it easier to get through those endless visits to an orthodontist. If you’re younger than 18 years old, ask your parents which colors they think are cute so you don’t end up with something over-the-top and outside of your comfort zone.
