What Colors Can I Choose for Braces?

If you or your child are getting braces colors wheel, you may be wondering what colors can be used on the brackets and wires. Even though braces don’t alter the appearance of teeth as much as they did in the past, you still want them to look good. There are several options to choose from when deciding on braces colors that work best with your smile, and this guide will show you what color options are available, so you can get the best results possible!

Choosing a color scheme

Make sure your color scheme matches your personality and suits your face type. You'll be wearing braces for a few years, so you want to make sure you're picking a color that will look good once all that time has passed. You don't need to wait until your braces are in place to pick out a color; just choose one that you think will look good on your teeth. Be mindful of contrast and complementing colors when picking your brace color. And remember, if it doesn't work out, there's no reason why you can't change it down the road!

Secondary color choices

You want your braces to stand out and look good, but you don’t want them to be a garish eyesore. Your best bet is to choose a color that complements your overall look; if you have light skin, choose a bright color so they pop. If you have dark skin, select a neutral tone that won’t draw too much attention away from your smile. Think about it—you wouldn’t wear red lipstick with an all-black outfit, right? The same logic applies here. Avoid coordinating your braces with another metal object like your watch or jewelry—this will help them look more natural. Most importantly: make sure you think about what colors go well with your complexion and hair color before going with something random!

Choosing the right shade of braces

When it comes to braces, there are many colors to choose from. A brace colors wheel helps determine which color is best for you, as well as your age and skin tone. This is important because these factors can make a big difference in color selection. For example, if you have darker skin or an olive complexion and select yellow-colored braces, your teeth will look yellowed; likewise, light-colored braces won't stand out on darker complexions. On that note, here's a tip: if you're opting for clear braces (as opposed to colored), be aware that they come in different shades of clear—just like other dental products such as toothpaste. So even if your dentist says clear, double check that he or she means perfectly transparent!

How to make it work with your clothes

You’ll want to wear bright, solid-colored shirts and dresses so your braces blend in. Avoid stripes, plaids, or busy patterns. Make sure your clothes fit you well so you don’t have to worry about them popping out of place as you talk to people. If you wear a jacket, make sure it fits close to your body. Keep clothing simple and avoid overdoing it with accessories; add a colored bracelet or necklace if desired (but go easy). Because braces can be visible even when your mouth is closed, think about how others perceive you before heading out into public.
