[braces!] what colour bands WONT make my teeth look yellow?

Question

i'm gettin braces!!! =S

i sort of want to get red and black. will those colours make my teeth appear whiter by comparison?

i dont want to get white because it will make my teeth look darker by contrast, and clear will make my teeth look lumpy, and i've also heard that they stain.

what colours will make my teeth appear whiter? my teeth aren't p**s-stained, but then again they aren'y pearly white either.

not looking forward to the first few days.

oh, and i'm getting them on the top AND bottom, if that helps. what colours should i get?

Answer 1

i wouldnt get mixed colors, they dont give me the option of 2 anymore, but 1 looks better, i get navy blue because it doesnt look like i have food in my teeth, and it doesnt make my teeth look yellow. and navy isnt way too noticeable like bright colors.

Answer 3

The color of the bands probably will not matter too much since the bracket covers a large amount of your tooth so it is difficult to see the whiteness of your teeth.  However, what people will notice is if there is food or gunk in the braces.  It is a constant upkeep.  I recommend bringing a toothbrush whenever you go anywhere so you can quickly make sure there is nothing stuck in there.  Now for the color, you are correct with the clear easily staining.  I think black and white will look good.  I am not sure they will make your teeth look whiter, but they will definitely not make them look less white :)
