I have gold brackets and silver bands every other tooth
Spacy Macy () - 26/Jan/2003 11:54:04 PM

I just got gold ones on the bottom and ceramic on top. My bands and second bicuspid brackets are silver. Of all those colors I think the gold looks the best. The boy in the next chair over actually got gold top and bottom so I know there are others out there! I had to ask for them because most assistants assume you want the traditional tinsel teeth look. My braces and teeth don't look at all like the model's (I think it's that earthy lipstick and low lighting that are casting a yucky yellow tone on everything). The point is that gold blends better into the teeth than silver.

i have gold on all of my mouth ..they look better than silver or colored elastic braces .. clear look the best though

My friend has braces her's are gold and she likes them. Our ortho said they are less noticeible than silver but her sister and I are getting silver.

Well I used to know someone who had gold braces. She was in her mid 40's but she was into gold and stuff, like she was very high class, and silver brcaes would of looked tacky on her, I think it's just the personality.

Just to those of you out there with gold braces whether any of you have put coloured bands on? if so, which colours look best around the gold bracket. or does everyone think that coloured bands would look tacky on gold. i am getting gold braces on the bottom and i'd like to try a couple of colours at some stage.
Rika () - 30/Mar/2003 11:16:33 PM

i kno people who have colored bands and it just so happens that they all r boyz (3) except for 1 gurl. They all put colored bands in. i have seen them use red, black, blue, etc. i think any color would be fine.Just dont get gold braces unless it fits your skin tone. It looks good with like darker skin tones. Not cacausion people. I am african american but i prefered silver but just makemsure it looks good with ur skin. whateva color jewelry u wear most then get braces that color so u wont look weird. Rika

hi rika, well, i wear gold and silver jewellery, but i think the gold ones would be less noticeable... even though i'm only having them on my bottom teeth. and i am a fairly pale person, but i guess i will never know what they will really look like on me until i get them on... and if i don't like what i see, i guess it's too late to change over to silver!!!
Kylie () - 12/May/2003 1:33:12 AM

to anyone who was reading my dilema a few months ago about whether to get gold or silver, well, i've made up my mind, but they haven't been fixed yet.. i'm going to go for silver, i think it's more traditional, and clear on the top, so it's less noticable.
Kylie () - 13/May/2003 7:29:09 AM

yeah, i saw someone else have gold braces, and i thought they looked a bit funny... they didn't look too bad when i looked at them at the orthos, but they definelty weren't me when i saw them in someone else's mouth! and i've also decided not to have clear coz i'd have to be careful when eating coloured foods, silver is much better, don't notice the colour change of the bands so much!
Angie () - 02/Jun/2003 1:03:58 AM

I prefer the silver braces over the gold and ceramic. Gold braces are tacky and the ceramic braces stain. Plus gold is a SOFT metal. Why would someone want to have a soft metal straightening their teeth? The traditional silver braces are the cheapest and fast way to go.

DO GOLD BRACES LEAVE STAINS ON YOUR TEETH?
Stephanie () - 13/Jul/2003 8:49:49 PM

After reading all of these comments, I realized that nobody has really asked their ortho these questions. Silver & gold brackets do exactly the same job, it's just the color difference. One metal is not stronger or does better than the other. The clear is cosmetically nice, however they tend to yello or stain depending upon what you eat and therefore may make your teeth look yellow. I recently got gold braces and I like them. They are different, then getting the same old silver. It's really a personal choice. But, ask questions and know the facts.
