Colored braces: for an original smile

It often happens that children and teenagers have to wear orthodontic dental appliances, which often come in the form of braces. Adults also, although more rarely, have recourse to this type of care.

If you don't like traditional metal braces, you can choose to wear colored braces. Nutrident tells you how to brighten your smile, thanks to a very simple process.

How to assume to wear rings?

Orthodontic treatment takes place over several months and often over several years. For a long time, you had no choice and had to submit to wearing metal rings that gave you a steely smile!

These rings still exist and remain the norm. However, today, if you assume this appearance badly, there are two alternatives: the totally invisible device, or the colored dental device.

Generally, children are satisfied with metal braces, but in adolescence and even more so in adulthood, patients prefer to opt for other solutions.

Invisible aligners, such as those from Dr. Smile, come in the form of completely transparent aligners. Only people close to you will notice that you are wearing a device.

The other possibility is to fully assume the fact of wearing rings and highlight them by bringing color.

What is colored braces?

In reality, when we talk about colored braces, we are only talking about the rubber bands that come on the braces. The rings themselves, as well as the wire that connects them, remain metal parts. However, the optical illusion is perfect and really gives the impression that you are wearing a colored device.

The other advantage of these colored rubber bands is that you can change them whenever you want. This remains an operation that is practiced by the orthodontist, but it is simple and quick.

The color swatch is extensive . Take your pick by surfing the internet and then ask your orthodontist to order them, as they are unlikely to have all the colors in stock.

You can choose your favorite color, but you can also mix colors to have an even more original appearance.

If you are used to wearing clothes in certain tones or jewelry whose same color always comes back, you can choose your elastics in the matching color, or in the complementary color.

Rather than being considered an unsightly device, your rings then turn into a real fashion accessory.

Note that it is not recommended to use rubber bands in yellow, gray or brown tones which will wrongly give the illusion that your teeth are dirty.

If you really care about yellow, choose a really flashy color that leaves no doubt about the artificial side.

When to change the colors of your device?

Your orthodontic treatment is subject to follow-up visits every 6 to 8 weeks. Your orthodontist checks the progress of the treatment and tightens the coves according to the result. Take advantage of these visits to ask him to change your rubber bands. The operation takes only a few minutes.
