    What colour braces should i get?

    Helloo, I'm new
    I'm 17 years old.
    Tomorrow I'm getting my braces, so excited
    I have a gap in my two front teeth and also one of the tooth is black :/ Because when i was younger i had a root canal. After the braces i will fix that tooth
    I'm brunette with brown eyes if that even matters!
    I think it's between, blue, silver or grey! hmmm

    Oh and btw i have no favourite colour, i like all colours

    Get whatever colours you love and enjoy them!

    Cool colours (purples, blues and greens) have a whitening affect and warm colours (reds, pinks and yellos) have a creaming affect, on your teeth. Also colours show stain, especially the light and pastal shades. Some coloured foods stain in a particular way, for example yellow foods will stain blue ligs and powerchains a funny green shade.

    Good luck with your treatment and here's to it going smoothly!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!

    Along with what sunny said, darker colors will also make your teeth look whiter, but show up more on your braces.

    I had navy blue ligs for a while and they don't really stain because they are so dark, and they make your teeth look really white. But it shows up a lot.

    Eventually I tried to get different colors so it would blend in more.

    I tried cream, white and clear. But all of those colors stain easily and they are actually quite noticeable.

    For hiding your ligs, I would suggest a silver/grey color. It sounds like it might make them look larger and more noticeable, but I've found that silver/grey blend in the best and so far no stains!
