Patients come into our clinic to show off their personality while getting orthodontic treatment and we’ve seen green braces becoming more and more popular with our Miami Lakes patients and for good reason. Green is a bright fun colour that’s not too much. It’s a great choice for those who want to show off their style.
Kids’ braces come in fun colours and green is one of the most popular. Kids love this colour because it’s like nature, their favourite sports teams or movie and video game characters. When kids are excited about the colour of their braces they pay more attention to their treatment and take better care of their teeth. That excitement really helps you get great results.
Green braces are great because they can be used in so many ways. Different shades of green can convey different emotions and personalities. Lime green and other light colours are fun and happy which is great for younger patients who want something fun and eye catching. Teens and adults who like earth tones and natural colours will like darker forest greens because they give off a more mature and subtle vibe. At Specialty Smiles we have many different green options so each patient can pick the one that’s right for them.
Many people ask us if certain colours make teeth look whiter or yellower. In this case green is very forgiving. Some yellows and oranges can make tooth colour look bad but green doesn’t change how it looks. This makes it a safe and appealing option for those who want colour but are worried about how it might change the overall look of their smile.
Colour choices also depend on the time of year. Around certain times of the year we get a lot of requests for green braces. Students getting ready for spring wear green to honour the season of new beginnings and growth. Sports fans wear green to show their team spirit. Some patients choose the colours of their braces based on holidays or other important occasions coming up. This ability to change colours at each adjustment appointment keeps the treatment experience fresh and fun.
Patients in our Miami Lakes community like that green braces keep their looks between appointments. The colour stays nice and doesn’t show stains as easily as some lighter colours can. Because they are so strong the braces stay clean and bright for 4-8 weeks between visits. This makes patients feel good about their smile every day. Braces for Teens provide effective and stylish options designed to fit busy lifestyles while improving dental alignment. With clear or colorful choices, teens can express their personality while achieving a perfect smile.
We always tell our patients to think about how they want to feel when they look in the mirror. Green makes people feel energetic, peaceful and balanced. Many of our patients say they chose green because it makes them happy and reminds them of good things. Don’t underestimate how emotionally attached they are to their treatment. People are more likely to smile and enjoy the journey to their beautiful smile if they like how their braces look.
Adding different colours to green makes it even more fun. Some people switch between green and white or silver for a classic look. Some people combine different shades of green together or mix green with colours that go with it like blue or yellow. We make the selection process at our practice fun and interactive so patients can see different combinations before they make their final choice.
The practical parts of green braces are also important. The colour comes from the elastics that hold the wire to the brackets. These are changed every time you come in for an adjustment. This lets patients try out several shades of green or even switch to whole different colours without having to commit. We love seeing how our patients’ tastes change as they go through treatment.
Hunter green and forest green can look very professional in business settings so if that’s a concern for you that’s good news. Many of our adult patients have chosen those colours because they add character without looking unprofessional. Ultimately the most important thing is to choose a colour that fits your lifestyle and makes you happy.
At Specialty Smiles we believe orthodontic treatment should be a good experience from start to finish. Patients can make their journey their own by choosing green braces which is just one way to do it. We like your choice of green whether it’s because it’s nature, your favourite team or just because it’s your favourite colour. We love the uniqueness it brings.
