North Miami patients who want to make a big fashion statement while getting orthodontic treatment are choosing black braces more and more. These become a fun accessory that shows off their personality and confidence. At Specialty Smiles we know that braces are a way for people to express themselves. Black braces are a way for patients to show off their treatment with flair and personality.
Black braces stand out against natural teeth which makes them look whiter and brighter than silver or clear brackets do. Many people choose black because it whitens their teeth which can make their smile look better even while they are still getting their teeth straightened.
Coloured bands or ties, also known as black elastic ligatures, keep the orthodontic wire in place and give it a black look that many patients love. Patients can change these little rubber bands at each adjustment appointment which lets them try out different colour combinations or keep their favourite black look throughout treatment.
Picking black braces can have some surprising benefits for your mental health. Many patients who were embarrassed about wearing braces at first find that choosing a bold colour makes them feel more confident and in control of their look. This shift in mindset usually makes people more likely to go through with treatment and have a better overall experience during the orthodontic process.
Fashion is a big factor in choosing black braces because this colour goes with many different styles of clothing and personal taste. People who like gothic, punk and alternative styles love how black braces look with their outfits and how they straighten their teeth.
As more and more people of all ages get orthodontic treatment coloured braces especially black ones are becoming more socially and professionally acceptable. Many workplaces and social organizations now see braces as a part of healthcare not something to hide or be ashamed of wearing.
You can mix black braces with other colours to make patterns and designs that show off your creativity and personality. Some patients want to mix black with other dark colours like deep purple or navy blue. Others like the look of all black elastic bands which are always the same colour.
Black braces need the same care as any other coloured elastic bands. However plaque can build up more easily on dark colours than on lighter ones. We give patients extensive information on how to keep their teeth and gums clean and healthy while they wear their black braces. For patients who want treatment that is less visible Braces for Adults and Invisalign offers correction that is almost invisible and doesn’t require any coloured bands or brackets that can be seen. These systems are popular with adults and those who care about their appearance and want their orthodontic treatment to be more subtle than personal expression.
Patients often choose black braces for Halloween, formal events or when they want their orthodontic treatment to match a certain costume or theme. This is because of the time of year or the event. Black is a versatile colour that works in many different settings and with many different personal styles.
Different groups of patients have different ideas about how old black braces should be. Younger patients often choose black braces because they like how bold they look and how they can make a fashion statement. Some adults also choose black braces because they like how dramatic they look compared to silver or clear braces.
The cost of black braces is the same as other coloured elastic options. This is because the cost difference is in the material of the brackets not the colour of the elastic bands. We offer black and other colour choices at no extra cost so patients can express themselves without having to pay more for their treatment.
Most of the time peers react positively to black braces especially younger patients in North Miami who see different colour options as a way to express themselves and be unique. Many patients say that people admire their choice of bright colours and that this makes them feel better about their orthodontic treatment.
Patients can try out black braces without making a long term commitment because the colour changes every 6-8 weeks when new elastic bands are put on. Patients can try black braces and then switch to other colours if they want to during treatment because of this flexibility.
