For orthodontic patients who choose to make fashion statements with their mouths, colours are really heating up. From soft pastels that coordinate with a wardrobe to bright hues for celebrating holidays or expressing school spirit, the colours appear mainly on the elastic ties that bind the wires to the brackets. These ties can be changed when the wires are changed.
Enthusiastic patients are more cooperative.
And better cooperation can yield results that meet everyone's expectations. When patients decide to become involved in their treatment, they usually take better care of their braces. Patients have a splashy array of hues from which to choose for much of their orthodontic hardware. Even the replaceable rubber bands that many patients put in and take out daily come in about as many colours as you'd see at a fabric store. Colours have gone over very big with countless braces-wearers.
