Matching Braces Colors to Your Costume

One of the best parts about Halloween is using your braces to complete your costume. Here's how to match your smile to your spooky style:

🧙‍♀️ Witch or Wizard

Go for green and black, or purple and silver for a magical twist.

🧛 Vampire or Bat

Try red and black for a dramatic effect that perfectly complements your costume.

🐱 Cat or Animal Costume

Choose soft pink and gray, or gold and brown tones for subtle charm.

🧜‍♀️ Mermaid or Fairy

Think teal and purple for oceanic sparkle or pastels like lavender and silver for an enchanted vibe.

💀 Skeleton or Ghost

Stick with white and gray, or add glow-in-the-dark elastics for a show-stopping effect!

Pro Tip: Coordinating your braces with your costume makes for the best photos, and shows your Halloween spirit from head to smile!

Braces Color Tips for Every Style

Choosing colors for your braces is all about balance and creativity. Here's how to make your smile stand out year-round:

For a Bold Look

Try contrasting colors like black and gold, red and blue, or green and white.

For a Subtle Look

Stick with lighter shades, such as mint, lilac, or clear bands, for a clean, understated style.

For Brighter Teeth

Cool colors like navy blue, teal, and purple make your teeth look whiter.

For Seasonal Themes

Celebrate each season. Orange and brown for fall, red and green for Christmas, or pink and red for Valentine's Day.

Quick Tip: Avoid clear or white bands if you're a frequent coffee or soda drinker. They can stain over time.

Smile Spotlight: Real Patients, Real Halloween Vibes

We love seeing how our patients express their creativity each season!

Last October, Maya, one of our Calera patients, chose orange and black bands to match her jack-o'-lantern costume, and her smile was the hit of her school's Halloween dance.

Meanwhile, Logan, from Pelham, opted for purple and green "Monster Mash" braces and paired them with a Frankenstein costume. He told us, "It was awesome—my braces were part of my look!"
