I am getting braces, HELP?

Question

what color rubber bands?? Do white and clear look bad because they stain? The thing is im 15 and dont want to look like a little kid with bright braces. HELP!!

Answer 1

It seems like I had braces for half of my childhood, and I don't remember white or clear ever staining with either me or my friends. And that was a long time ago, so they're probably even better now.  

Answer 2

Just get silver

Answer 3

Yea, don't get clear. I would suggest darker colors because they don't stand out as much as bright ones. Go with navy, purple or green.

Answer 4

i wouldnt get white or clean especially for your first time cause you wont keep up with them probably. i had white for a while and they are really cute if you can keep up with them and not let them stain but it requires more brushing then I normally did. I would get silver...but thats uber unoriginal ):

get bright neon colors like scene kids (:

just, dont mix too many colors, cause i did that and i looked like i was 5.

1-2 colors is okay! (:

btw im 15 too.

Answer 5

i dont think you should get rubber bands

Answer 7

I'ts fun to have bright colors, but just don't get yellow.

Answer 8

well the first thing you have to consider is whether or not the braces u get need rubber bands. because some kinds dont. personally i would advise against clear or white because they end up turning a really disgusting color if you are not incredibly disciplined with brushing. i would recommend something that does not stand out like pink or something. go for blue or silver

Answer 9

Uhh..there are plenty of people older than you that wear bright colors..

I've never seen a girl with braces that wears boring colors.

Answer 10

White and clear stain REALLY EASILY !

I don't have clear rubber bands on my brackets but my chain around my top teeth is clear and I had Lipton soup and it got stained !

When your actually eating the soup it looks SO yellow and gross

even when you brush them its still yellow.

And orange juice but in a couple days if you brush, it goes away :)

I'm turning 14 in November and my rubber bands are violet (light purple)

and look really cute, everyone always comments on them too.
