Most people don’t realize the variety of cute braces colors you can get when you have braces. They just assume they will be metal, but that’s not true at all! There are many different color options out there, so let’s look at some of the most popular brace colors and how to choose them as well as some other tips. We’ll also go over how to maintain your braces so that you keep your smile looking its best!

 

Orthodontic Color Options

While there’s no best color, power chain braces are most frequently produced in one of these four shades: clear, blue, green or pink. Each hue is designed to make them look less conspicuous and power chains do an excellent job of improving patients’ self-confidence. In addition to knowing which hues you prefer, it helps to be aware of other factors that can influence your treatment plan. Factors like how thick your bands will be and whether or not they will include a metal wire run along brackets on top of your teeth. Your dentist should discuss all of these things before proceeding with any recommended course of action.

 

Yellow Vs. White Teeth

Both colors of teeth look great with all kinds of braces, and it’s a matter of personal preference. Many people choose to match their tooth color (for example, black teeth go well with white brackets). Whatever you decide, remember that your orthodontist will be able to help you select from a variety of materials, such as clear or colored brackets. In fact, there’s no reason why your dental work can’t fit into any outfit. And if anyone makes fun of you, they’re just jealous because they don’t have straight teeth.

 

Choosing Between Anterior And Posterior

Anterior-only clear plastic retainers are a relatively new orthodontic concept. These devices use only intraoral pressure to hold them in place, and they cover only part of your teeth. As such, they’re easy to conceal and usually don’t restrict biting or chewing. Power chain braces are probably among the most common examples of these types of devices, but several others exist as well. Posterior-only models can be either full or partial retainers. Typically less expensive than their anterior counterparts, these models rely on wires and elastics behind your teeth to stay in place without interfering with your speech or jaw movements. Still feeling overwhelmed by all these choices?

 

Kids Vs. Adults

It might surprise you, but even adults get braces. In fact, orthodontic treatment is one of our fastest growing fields in dentistry. Still, children and teens have a natural advantage when it comes to getting new smiles: they grow out of their baby teeth faster, which makes room for permanent adult teeth. Plus their bones and muscles are still developing (adults’ tend to set), making them better candidates for correcting jaw alignment problems or overcrowding issues in general. So if your child has any type of tooth or facial issues that need corrected—even if you’re on a tight budget—we encourage you to consider traditional orthodontics as an option rather than waiting until adulthood.

 

No More Expensive Visits to the Dentist

If you have kids that need to wear braces, make sure they’re wearing a power chain brace. A power chain will pay for itself in under a year. It allows your child to grind their teeth and eat all of their favorite foods without causing expensive problems later in life. Power chains prevent food from getting stuck and damaging your children’s teeth as well as prevent them from grinding at night. By allowing them to wear power chains, you’ll be protecting their teeth from unnecessary damage. And, if you have kids with loose brackets and wires, tell your dentist about it! You may be able to save hundreds of dollars just by letting them know about a problem before it becomes serious.

 

Treatment Options

Braces come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. The color of your braces is up to you, though some orthodontists suggest certain shades over others to match your skin tone. For example, if you have fair skin with blonde hair and blue eyes, pink might be a good choice because it will stand out against your other features. If you have darker hair and skin tones that complement each other, then pick a color that blends in rather than pops out. While trendy metallic or clear brackets can be fun, they may not be as effective at improving your smile.

 

Average Cost of Getting Your Teeth Straightened

Teeth straightening has become a very popular cosmetic procedure in recent years. In 2010, Americans spent more than $3 billion on whitening products and treatments. Braces are still by far one of the most expensive ways to get straight teeth. On average, you can expect to pay around $6,000 per arch when you choose a set of traditional metal brackets. However, technology is advancing at a rapid pace—and if you have some cash to spend on top-of-the-line services and cutting edge materials, you might be able to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
