It hurts a little bit when they tighten them but the longer you have the braces it doesnt hurt as much.Like I have had braces for 3 years and it hurt alot at first but after like 2 or 3 days it wont hurt that much anymore. Maybe you could try a blue or a red.
hope i helped

Plenty of kids get braces and you aren't going to be the only one at school with them. I had pink and green braces for awhile. Then I had clear. They have a little color pallet for you when they put on your braces. Then you just pick one or two colors, and they'll put them on. I promise, braces aren't that bad. You get used to them.

Kels answered Saturday December 4 2004, 1:25 pm: yeah,it does hurt, but uit is so worth it! your teeth look so good when they are done! and yah it hurts. but make sure that you brush you teeth alot or else you'll have spots, and when you first get them on it tastes funny, and you cant eat solid foods. I took advil, and it was easier, but i mean i couldnt chew gum.
Sorry that they hurt but, it worth it!!
GOOD LUCK!
ohh! and for colors, pick your fav! or 2 that go good together, but make sure that they will match your clothes! they'll be there for a while
