The average person today probably wouldn’t turn heads if they were wearing purple braces, but that wasn’t always the case. As late as the early 2000s, purple braces would have marked you as the kind of kid who wanted to be cool, but was held back by bad fashion sense and other people’s opinions. But thanks to orthodontic advances that allowed this once-bold color to be toned down and made suitable for every day wear, purple braces are now just another color in the rainbow of styles you can choose from to straighten your teeth.
Great Colors for Teeth
Teeth come in a variety of colors, and there are a number of ways to change those colors. When it comes to braces, color is just one factor for consideration: The type of bracket material you choose can also have an impact on your teeth’s appearance. What’s more, keep in mind that teeth whitening can be achieved without getting purple braces. If you’re considering a new color scheme for your smile—or if you’re hoping to whiten your teeth at home—here are some tips to help with choosing among these options.
Comfortable
After wearing your braces for several months, they may become loose. Purple braces are an affordable option to make your smile look completely new and chic again without you having to wait too long. Why is purple such a popular color? Because purple combines two colors that are complementary opposites on the Braces color wheel: red and blue.
Improve Smiling Confidence
There are many reasons to go for purple braces. First, they look really cool. They just make you stand out from everyone else. Second, purple stands out and makes a statement about you – and who doesn’t want to make a statement? Purple is just not a color you see on braces very often, so when people see your smile with those cute colorful braces on, they will remember you! What can be better than that? Nothing! Everyone knows that first impressions are everything.
Looks Cool on Everyone
When you’re picking out braces, your orthodontist or dentist is going to be looking for a few things: The teeth need to be healthy and you should be able to wear braces comfortably. What they also want to know, though, is whether you’re willing to commit two years or more of your life (it takes about that long) and wear braces for about 22 hours a day. With all that in mind, it makes sense that there are a lot of people who aren’t sure if they want traditional white or clear braces; some even try to go for less noticeable options like ceramic braces or Invisalign. But why not take advantage of one of those hidden benefits?
Beats Traditional Metal Braces
Most people choose metal braces because they’re more traditional and offer more flexibility, but that doesn’t mean they’re better. Metal braces can be unsightly, uncomfortable and expensive. It’s no wonder many dentists choose to offer alternatives like Invisalign invisible braces or ClearCorrect aligners. Both of these options are cheaper than metal braces and their results are just as good. If you think you’d prefer purple braces to metal ones, then speak with your dentist about all your options before you make a decision. After all, it is your smile!
