A Guide to Finding Cute Braces

Finding cute braces can be a tall order, especially if you are the one who has to wear them every day of your life from now on. However, if you want to walk out of your orthodontist’s office looking and feeling great about the way you look, then it’s important to find some braces that will turn heads. The following guide will give you some tips on how to find cute braces, even if you have metal braces or silver ceramic braces.


Where to find braces

Start by visiting a local orthodontist. Most people begin treatment around age seven, though some orthodontists offer early intervention and treatment for young children as well. Most insurance plans will cover orthodontic work, so you can use that if you’re in need of financial assistance. You may be able to find an orthodontist who offers lower lingual holding arches in their office—many don’t keep them on hand but will be able to order them for you.


Where can I buy cute braces?

To find cute braces for your lower lingual holding arch, you’ll want to visit a local orthodontist office. These specialists are trained and equipped with equipment capable of creating all manner of adornments on teeth. They’re also generally more amenable than most businesses in making changes, given that they frequently deal with customers who aren’t satisfied with their initial treatment results. Orthodontists are typically located in white-collar neighborhoods near hospitals or medical centers.


How much do they cost?

While a pretty smile can cost you more, cute braces are actually affordable if you know where to look. Because of inflation and other factors, braces used to be prohibitively expensive, but with advancements in technology they’ve become more economical. Also, competition between dental services has driven prices down—meaning that there’s never been a better time to find cute braces. If you ask us, we think it’s worth it!


What are my options?

One of your best options is going with a clear or tooth-colored brace, also known as lingual braces. Lower lingual holding arch (LLHA) braces are an option that many orthodontists and orthodontic offices are beginning to offer their patients, though they’re still not offered by most orthodontists. This option is one of my personal favorites.


How long will they last?

There are different kinds of braces, with varying degrees of longevity. Lower lingual holding arches are one of these braces. These braces, also known as T wires or tender wires, hold your teeth in place while correcting their alignment and positioning. They can be easily removed when you eat food and will last several months after they’ve been removed.


What color should I get?

It's not just about style, of course—and it is possible to have fun with color. Ask your orthodontist or dentist for recommendations, and ask how long you'll be wearing them (and what colors will look best as your teeth move). If you're choosing a clear or translucent color, keep in mind that tooth shade can change over time due to natural aging; if you want something that'll look good once your teeth are back to their normal shade (white, off-white), go for something more opaque. Note: All of these are temporary colors—if you're getting metal braces and planning on keeping them long-term, there are more options than those listed here; talk with your orthodontist or dentist for advice.
