Silver is your best bet for band color. It blends in more. NEVER GET CLEAR. Because once you eat something like spagetti it will look like that until you get your colors changed again. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

Or if you want colors, pick a really light pink or something.
Avoid clear or white bands because they turn yellowish and will make your teeth look yellow. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
xJustAskMeDuhx answered Wednesday June 20 2007, 1:00 am: Ummm the best I can tell you is to pick silver bands. For me, that made them less noticeable, i guess becuse it matched the wire?? I don't know, but it seemed to work. I wouldn't try "tooth" colored, though. It looks kinda weird sometimes=/. Other than that, i don't know what else you can do because you're pretty much stuck with them for the next like 2 years and you can't change much about them, but TrusT me, you'll get used to them in a few weeks and they shouldn't look as bad by then. Hope i helped^_^ [ xJustAskMeDuhx's advice column | Ask xJustAskMeDuhx A Question ]
