Fixed braces are a fantastic way to achieve your dream smile, but choosing the right elastic colours can make all the difference in how they look over time. Some colours stay bright and fresh, while others are more prone to staining. Letโs break down the best and worst colours for your braces!

๐ Darker shades like navy, royal blue, deep purple, and dark green not only look great but also make your teeth appear whiter. These colours are excellent for long-term wear as they resist staining and donโt fade as easily.

Lighter shades like white, clear, light yellow, and pale pink may seem like a fresh choice, but they can stain easily from food and drinks like curry, coffee, tea, and tomato-based sauces. Over time, these colours can start to look dull or discoloured, so if you love these foods, you may want to reconsider!

๐ Want to get creative? You can mix and match colours to create a fun pattern! Alternating two contrasting coloursโlike black and red, pink and purple, or blue and tealโadds personality to your braces. Seasonal colours like red and green for Christmas or pastels for spring are also popular!

No matter what colour you choose, keeping your braces clean is essential to avoid staining. Brush after meals, rinse with water, and avoid foods that are known to cause discolouration. If you do get stains, your orthodontist will change your elastics at your next appointment, so donโt worry!
