My dentist gave me the wrong color for my braces?

Question

I'm kind of upset that my dentist keeps giving me the wrong color for my braces (rubber bands).

I just got my braces and for my top braces i clearly stated that i wanted "clear" colored bands and instead he gave me gray. I didn't mind that much since gray doesn't look bad.

Then when i got my bottom braces he was suppose to give me the same color but instead he gave me "silver" instead of "gray". Now i have diff colors for both top and bottom braces and it looks terrible.

Should i be upset or what? How bad do you think it looks to have gray top braces and shiny silver-metallic bottom braces?

Answer 1

you should sue him!

Answer 2

I really don't think it matters. Maybe for you but I don't think other people really notice these things. When I was young we didn't even get a choice about brace colours. I wouldn't worry. The most important thing is that your teeth are being corrected.
