Braces are a big step towards a healthier and happier smile. For many patients, especially the younger ones, it’s also a chance to say what they want. At Specialty Smiles we know that braces do more than just straighten teeth. You can also use them to show off your style. If you’re thinking about getting pink braces in Miami Lakes we want to help you understand how they work, why they’re so popular and how you can customize your treatment to reflect your personality.
Pink braces are regular metal braces with pink elastic bands, also called ligatures. These small rubber bands go around each bracket to hold the wire in place. Most of the time the brackets and wires are metal. The elastic bands are the ones that come in many colors including different shades of pink. This way you can change the colors of your braces and make them different every time you come in for an adjustment. Patients love pink braces because it makes orthodontic treatment feel more personal and fun. Many patients, especially younger ones and teens who wear braces want to be able to choose colors that show off their interests, favorite sports teams or even the time of year. Many patients who want a bold and happy look choose pink. Some like bright pink, others like softer and lighter pink. You can choose anything you want and you can change it every time you come to our office.
We encourage our patients at Specialty Smiles to love their braces and everything that comes with them. We’ve found that letting younger patients choose bright colors like pink helps them get more excited about their treatment and less anxious about how they look with braces. It makes something that can feel clinical or uncomfortable into something that feels unique and expressive. Pink braces are popular with people who want to support a cause or show school spirit. For example, many patients choose pink to honor breast cancer awareness month or to match their school colors. Some people just like the color and want to wear it because it makes them happy. We can help you put together an outfit that makes you feel beautiful and confident, no matter why you like pink.
It’s great to use colored elastics because they don’t affect how well your treatment works. The wires and brackets do all the work to move your teeth into place. It doesn’t matter what color you choose for your braces because the elastics are just there to hold the wire in place. You can play with colors without worrying about ruining your work.
Colored elastics can also make your teeth look whiter. Pink and other dark colors can make your teeth look whiter by making them stand out. Some patients like the darker look better, others like the lighter look better. At Specialty Smiles we can help you choose colors that make you feel good and look great.
Younger people tend to like pink braces but anyone can get them. If you’re an adult who loves the color pink and wants to have fun with your braces you can definitely choose pink elastics. We believe everyone should be able to express themselves at any age and orthodontic treatment is for everyone. You should also keep in mind that you will need to change the elastics every time you come in for an adjustment which is usually every 4-6 weeks. That way you can see how different colors look next to each other. Some people choose to keep the same color throughout the whole treatment while others want to change it often. You can even get creative and mix and match colors or form patterns.
