What's your favourite elastic colours?

#1 Post by MetalMouthBraces »

I like to experiment with different coloured elastics, and so I've been wondering what elastic colour is your favourite?

I haven't gotten my braces that long ago, so I'm still deciding what colour I like! Also, my next adjustment is in a few days, and I'd like to know which colour looks the most subtle in pictures. Thanks! :D

I only had coloured power chains because I had damons, but I was told that the clear ones don't work as well. I tried the white ones but no matter what, they would stain. My top 6 front brackets were ceramic, so I went with silver power chains.

So far I've had light pink, light blue, and silver. My favorite is probably the silver because it blends with my brackets.

I've only tried clear, light pink and a periwinkle shade. The periwinkle makes my teeth look yellow but I like the color. The other shades my ortho has are sorta dark and out there so I'm not sure if I will try any other shades lol

Black and any of the darker colors, especially for the top arch. They made my teeth look less yellow.

Silver coloured elastic is perfect. It blends with wires.

I'm quite boring. I've only had silver elastics. I like silver because, as others have mentioned, it blends in with the wires and brackets. It also doesn't stain.

I've done silver ligs the last three appointments but I've gotten funky with colored elastics. And since I'm wearing them in a class 3 triangle they are quite visible when I talk. I figure I'm about to the end of the journey so I can go a little wild.

I've tried bright red, light purple and now black. So far, I'm really digging the black. It looks classy and most importantly, does not stain!

I also liked black, but I tried turquoise, purple, red, hot pink, orange....(I was in braces for almost 5 years, so I had lots of time to experiment, lol). I think I liked electric blue the best...they made my teeth look whiter, and didn't show stains like the lighter colors, or even silver, would.

I'm a fan of the black too! Occasionally I'll get black and another colour, but in general it's black with a side of black
