Who says braces are no fun? At every checkup, you get an opportunity to show off your personality by changing the colors of your rubber bands. These tiny ingredients of your orthodontic treatment are fun accessories, but also play an essential role in shifting your teeth. Support Pride this month or any time of year by choosing the braces and rubber band colors that reflect your heart when you smile.
1. Traditional Gay Pride Flag
A full-on rainbow of rubber band colors shows support for Pride. Traditional, clear in message, and joyful to look at, the pattern of six shades is easy: red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet. Each color symbolizes a different aspect of the LGBTQ community, or the colors can simple show that a kid with braces loves rainbows.
2. Transgender Pride Flag
Blue-pink-white-pink-blue is a five-stripe combination that represents support for the transgender community. These alternating shades show traditional colors for boys and girls. The white stripe represents those who consider themselves neutral, transitioning, or undefined in gender. This subtle pastel combo looks great with clear braces.
3. Non-Binary Pride Flag
Non-binary describes gender identity. The yellow-white-purple-black of the non-binary flag represents people separate from the gender binary who don’t exclusively identify as male or female (yellow), have multiple genders (white), are a mix of male and female (purple), or do not have a gender (black). You will make a statement with this color combo on your teeth.
4. Pansexual Pride Flag
Pink, yellow, and sky blue make up the trio of colors on the pansexual Pride flag. The shades are described as showing attraction to men (blue stripe), women (pink stripe), and people of other genders (yellow stripe). Bright and noticeable, put these colors on your teeth to really send a message.
5. Bisexual Pride Flag
The bisexual flag was designed to give bisexual people a larger sense of visibility and community. The purple blends into the blue and pink just as bisexual people blend into the gay and straight communities, but you will definitely stand out when you have this gorgeous flow of colors decorating your teeth.
Considerations for Colorful Braces and Rubber Band Combos
No matter what holiday or occasion you are celebrating, keep the following in mind as you choose rubber band colors at the orthodontist:
- Yellow or gold can sometimes make teeth look more yellow than white.
- A colorful smile will make you happy and make others smile.
- Not every color will complement teeth or complexion.
- Enjoy a form of self-expression that you keep to yourself or proudly share with others.
- The more colors you want, the more detailed the work, and the longer your appointment.
- Rubber band color combos make orthodontic treatment easier to accept and manage.
