While we think it’s a great idea to have some fun with your braces colors, we understand that some want a more discreet appearance for their braces, either for personal or professional reasons. Yellows have a similar effect as they tend to enhance the yellow tone in your teeth.

Red can be mistaken for bleeding gums.Īnd, although white may sound like a great option for those wanting a minimal look, it can actually make your teeth look much yellower than they really are, as even the “whitest” of teeth are rarely a true white color. Orange, brown, and green might give people the impression that you have food stuck in your teeth. Still, there are some colors that can create less than desirable optical illusions: Black and dark gray, for example, can look like tooth decay. There really is no “wrong” choice when it comes to your braces colors the most important thing is that you’re happy with how they look.
