Hi everyone! So I'm getting braces on May 4th, and I'm still deciding what color to get, I'm thinking teal but idkkkkk. Lmk what the best colors to get are because I've been seeing mixed opinions... Also maybe give tips on what to do or what not to eat, etc. Thanks for reading! ((:

don’t try to cut ur string on ur braces..... 😑 colors actually don’t matter that much, like just do whatever you like. i usually coordinate them w the season, like holidays or smthg.

My best friend has teal braces right now and it looks really good on braces so I think you should get teal

Mine are light blue but I don’t suggest it... I have bands that basically go across several brackets and hug the teeth together, it turned a tinted green and looks kind of dingy. I suggest going for a darker or more opaque color. Eating is weird for a little bit and can be painful. However, I chose to eat soft foods for the first couple days and I was fine. I suggest pasta because it’s not hard and tastes awesome. Also, food gets stuck in braces after almost everything you eat, so when going to school or out of the house, I suggest bringing a pipe cleaner-toothpick thingy (you will thank yourself later and they are super cheap) And at home still floss everything out because leaving food on your braces isn’t the best. If you happen to forget a flosser for braces, you can always get some water, swish it around your mouth for a couple seconds and most of the food (if not all of it) will come out. I wish you the best! (Oh, and take ibuprofen or something like it because afterwards it can hurt.)

I have teal and pink and they are sooo cute!

Stay away from green, black, white, yellow, and brown. Cause they make your teeth look bad.

You should totally get teal i love mine!

Also i couldnt eat for the first 7 days or so. I would suggest eating softer fooods an stay away from harder/sticky foods.

I ate a lot of oatmeal, cereal, peanut butter, bananas, and basically anything that sorta ‘melts’ in your mouth that you dont have to chew.

I believe they show you the different kinds of color. (But I have not gotten braces, so I don't know exactly.)

Only eat soft foods for the first few days to a week. Like the first 2-3 days you should eat a lot of stuff like ice cream and yogurt and smoothies (not with hard things/chunks mixed in cuz those will be hard to chew). Then the next few days eat some slightly harder things and then after you can start eating like normal.

Hi : ) I recently got my braces color to neon pink (that’s how it looked like when the orthodontist showed me) but when I got home and looked at them they were this light pink and I love it so much! I love experimenting with different colors it’s so fun. I’ve had black braces, dark red, dark purple and navy blue before! I hope to try out more colors. I got my braces around may as well. For the first 2 weeks I couldn’t eat anything it hurt soooo bad my teeth wouldn’t stop tingling : ( but eventually the pain goes away and it only hurts for a day or so when you go to get them adjusted every month. But this is just me and maybe the pain will be difficult for you so dw your orthodontist will tell you what foods to avoid (tbh I still eat whatever I want cmvndvnxnc I don’t let my braces stop me) I’ve never broken a bracket but I’d still play it safe and just do what your orthodontist says : )! Best wishes I hope you like your braces (っ˘ω˘ς )

I’ve gotten dark and light teal before and I think it has looked good. I also usually do blues and purples, so if you like those colors I would suggest them. 😊

hey! my friend always gets light purple for her colors and it is super cute. my ortho has this different kind of braces where we can’t pick a color so they are just gray😭😭😭 just I got mine off in a year when it would have been 2 years if I had went to a different ortho with the color bands. make sure to take painkillers after getting your wires changes!!!! also wear lots of chapstick for your visits

I get silver on the top and colors on the bottom. That way if the color looks bad, at least it’s on the bottom where no one will see it. Also, don’t get the pastels. I know they look cute at first, but legit after the first day they look dingy :/ Also, certain foods will stain your braces. Like no amount of brushing will take it out either. I got teal once and ate curry the first day and they turned neon green :/ so just be careful. But like honestly, the color doesn’t really matter most of the colors look good, just don’t get the pastels, or yellow, or brown, or clear. If you want the braces to blend in, just get silver trust me it looks way better the clear will just get stained and gross
