Life with Braces

The Ultimate Guide to Braces Colors

By Team Thomas • July 20, 2025

One of the best parts of metal braces is picking your colors! You can change them at every adjustment appointment (usually every 6-8 weeks).

Pro Tips for Choosing Colors:

  • Whiter Teeth: Darker colors like Navy Blue, Purple, or Black make your teeth look whiter by contrast.
  • School Spirit: We have the colors for Land O' Lakes Gators, Sunlake Seahawks, and Mitchell Mustangs.
  • Holidays: Orange/Black for Halloween, Red/Green for Christmas.
  • Avoid: Yellow or White bands can sometimes make teeth look stained.
