You can choose brace colors based on your skin tone that help bring out the beautiful tone that makes you unique! Complementary colors for braces for people with olive or dark skin tones are gold, navy, violet, or turquoise. If you have a lighter skin tone, it looks great when you opt for pink, silver, lilac, light blue, or pale pink. These shades, when matched with the corresponding skin tone, will enhance & bring out the shade of your skin.
According to the American Orthodontic Association, most people wear braces for about two years. If you are going to have braces for two years, you should definitely have as much fun with them as possible, right?! You can choose from a wide range of colors that you are into. We encourage you to above all, mix & match & pick out shades that make you happy & bring out your playful side. A happy smile is a beautiful smile!

If you want to make a statement about something that matters to you, consider choosing a color representing your favorite cause (like black for Black Lives Matter or pink for Breast Cancer Awareness).
