Holidays, seasons, celebrations, and national days; get inspired to represent this special time of the year. For Christmas eve, for instance, you can play with some green and red rubber bands matching your Christmasly clothing.

You might have a date or want to surprise your couple on Valentine’s. You can wear red rubber bands and match them with your nails and dress. Or what about a leafy green for St. Patrick’s day?

Go Team!

What about wearing black and red Atlanta Falcons rubber bands and showing some pride in your favorite NFL team? Yes, chances are you like basketball as well, and you can add yellow color bands to your braces and support the Hawks at an NFL game.

Possibilities and sports are endless. A fun fact is most sports teams in Georgia share the black and red colors, representing them, even Atlanta United Team in soccer. So, if you are deep into sports and like to support your local teams, red and black are the colors you want for your rubber bands.

But, there are more than just local teams; you can ask your orthodontist for the colors that represent your favorites in the Olympics and the World Cup. If you like contact sports like the UFC and wear braces, try getting a mouthguard and rubber bands that match the color of your favorite fighter.

Rubber Band Colors You May Want to Avoid

Some colors might not look good on your teeth. There is a contrast that could be counterproductive to your image, and that is using white-colored rubber bands. The contrast of white rubber bands with slightly yellowish teeth might make the stains more evident.

Tan or pastel yellow colored rubber bands can also produce an effect that can have a negative visual effect, like stains or spots. However, if you still like pastel-colored rubber bands, you can play a little bit and mix them with a dark color so people can notice there is a difference.

Finally, some combinations include colors resembling food particles, like brown, dark red, and tan, that look like eating chili beans with tortillas, and some food residues got stuck on your braces. So, patients should also consider these combinations before asking for them.
