There is no need for boring braces if you want to have something more colourful. There are many multicoloured train track braces, rubber bands and even wires to make the process of your dental treatment more exciting. You might consider it a bit of fun in the otherwise fairly slow process of teeth straightening – so it is a good thing to do! There are also some very real benefits.
By choosing the right colours from a range of vibrant, fun and low-cost rubber bands, train track brackets and wires you can help achieve:
The colour of your braces will not affect the way that your teeth move into straight positions during your treatment.
We understand that you may be nervous about any type of fixed braces treatment, which is why we specialise in treating nervous patients. Our team provides a range of dental treatments in the Brighton and Hove area at our fully-equipped clinic.
We offer a selection of brace colours as part of our teeth straightening treatments, so we know all about the benefits of using different colours and the things to think about when choosing them. You will see our brilliant team in action when you get in touch with us and book an appointment.
The potential for putting your stamp on things is very much within your grasp, you will only have braces once – so why not? We realise that you might have a favourite colour dead set in your mind already, but there are lots of different things you may not have thought of that might influence your decision.
Here are some simple and effective tips for choosing the best braces colours for your needs:
You will find a huge amount of variation, so there is something for all tastes. If you opt for red, green or brown when customising your braces colours, just remember you should include them as part of a multicoloured design…
Why? Well, brown and green braces colours look a bit like spinach, steak or some other food that has been left in your mouth. Red brace colours on the other hand might make it look like you’re bleeding from the teeth, therefore it may be better for you to avoid them entirely.
Then again – you can have fun with it. If you have a Halloween party coming up, then complementing your costume with vampire-red rubber bands on your braces could be just the ticket.
In the UK, NHS Orthodontic treatments are available for young people who have a health need, which may be for braces or other treatments. You can expect a similar level of colour selection for your bands and train tracks. However, the range of customisation may not be as large as when in a private treatment setting. Rubber bands are particularly cheap to replace so it is entirely possible to buy your own if you’re after specific brace colours.
Whether you are an adult looking to camouflage your braces as much as possible with clear ceramic train tracks and bands, or a young person looking to express themselves with vibrant multicoloured designs, braces colours make the process more interesting. This can help the time go by more quickly.
If you are undertaking a significant treatment, such as getting braces, it is natural to be slightly nervous – but you can find specialist services for adults and children at our leading dental practice.

The following are some commonly asked questions and further information about braces colours and the services we provide:
There is no single ‘best’ colour for your braces. If you have a favourite colour then perhaps you can choose that one, but it is purely a matter of personal taste. You can use the tips above to find some inspiration on selecting your new braces colours – but the colours you pick will not affect the straightening of your teeth.
Dark blacks, blues and purples are a good option for people who want to make sure their braces do not make it look like their teeth are discoloured. You can choose both rubber bands and train tracks that feature these colours or perhaps use a mixture of both to help. Tooth-coloured train tracks are also available, which quite subtly blend into the teeth – as do ceramic braces – so these are another option.
If you choose a very bright white colour for your braces you might have an issue with the contrast to the look of your natural teeth. Most people have slightly off-white teeth and even some yellowing, which is usually perfectly natural and healthy – but when overlaid with a bright, white synthetic rubber band or train track, it can make them look much worse. Bright colours can be ideal for some, but white will make most people’s teeth and braces look worse.
