Braces are used to straighten teeth and can be a great solution for kids who want straighter teeth but who don’t want the hassle of getting traditional dentures or Invisalign braces. But while they may be beneficial, most people agree that they’re not exactly cool-looking! Fortunately, there are tons of fun colors you can choose from to make your braces look great, regardless of the type of cool braces colors.

 

Light blue

If you’re looking to draw attention away from your unsightly braces, a light shade of blue is a great option. Unfortunately, lighter-colored brackets can be more noticeable than darker ones. Plus, there’s always a chance that your orthodontist will be unable to match your bracket color when it comes time to adjust them during routine visits. If you do decide on light blue though, stick with bright shades and try not to wear too much makeup around them—and whatever you do, stay away from anything dark around your mouth or eyes that could blend in with your colored brackets and create smudges.

 

Light pink

While light pink is a great color that can enhance your smile, it won’t hide stains as well as darker hues. If you drink coffee or tea and enjoy red wine, you might have some pretty noticeable staining on your teeth. Pink also isn’t an appropriate choice if you like to chew on ice—the color will likely come off quickly, giving you less of a chance to show off your smile. Make sure you brush after eating anything with color! It’s best to avoid hot beverages in general since they can stain your teeth more quickly than iced drinks—but if it's too cold out for iced drinks, opt for clear varieties instead of those that contain artificial coloring.

 

Dark green

As a kid, your mom probably always wanted you to brush and floss those pearly whites on a daily basis. But there are several disadvantages of deep cleaning teeth, which is why it’s so important to learn how to properly care for them. That’s because deep cleaning can damage tooth enamel and wear down your tooth surface over time. The best way to treat and care for teeth is by brushing and flossing regularly, followed by regular dental visits every six months with regular checkups in between. So don’t let that perfect smile get ruined by neglecting your teeth! Brushing twice a day will help keep those pearly whites nice and shiny—and healthy—for years to come.

 

Golden brown

This is a really fun color that looks great against pretty much every skin tone. It's a bit warmer than some of our other options, though, so it won't pair as well with all eye colors. If you want to experiment with browns and blues, we recommend getting a second opinion from your orthodontist. He or she can make sure that you're choosing a color that pairs well with your face and other features. In general, if you tend to wear mostly monochromatic outfits and rarely step outside of neutrals in your clothing choices, browns will probably work out perfectly for you.

 

Dark grey

Studies show that darker shades of grey create a soothing, less aggressive feeling. If you tend to be hyper-aware of your appearance, you may like darker grey as it can make your teeth look whiter and feel more comfortable when eating and smiling. Dark grey is also great if you want to distract from any discoloration or stains in your smile. Be sure to choose a shade that complements your skin tone so it doesn’t wash you out instead of brightening up your face.

 

Pink and purple

Although these two colors may be cool, they aren’t as practical. The coloring of your brace is less visible in low light and is more prone to showing off grime than other colors. If you wear your retainer all day, it’s going to get dirty quickly—and nobody wants a dirty mouth (the best method of cleaning your retainer is by using a product like Cavit). Braces with deep, rich hues will show dirt easier than lighter ones, making them more difficult to keep clean. If you have dark hair, don’t go dark with your braces—you’ll just make it harder to maintain hygiene.
