Frequently Asked Questions

What about colored braces?

Howard Lang, DDS - Humboldt County Orthodontist - Eureka, Ca...
Colored braces don't work very well. They are made of plastic which is less durable and discolors. What we do is put colored rings over the metal braces so you can decorate your mouth. Clear, white, and "tooth" colored rings are also available.

What are braces made from?

Braces (also called orthodontic appliances) can be as inconspicuous—or as noticeable—as you like. Brackets—the part of the braces that attach to each tooth—are smaller and can sometimes be attached to the back of the tooth, making the brackets less noticeable. Brackets may be made of metal, ceramic, plastic or a combination of these materials. Some brackets are clear or tooth-colored.

Do you also have colored tags and colored silencers?

Dog Tags Europe

That depends on your case. Orthodontics isn't just about making your teeth straight or making them look better.

There are lot of other factors to take into consideration.

Will I have anything done besides braces?

How about artificially colored mulches?

Artillery Fungus- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We have tested mulches of various colors, as well as the chemicals themselves used to color the mulches. The chemicals in our tests, at the concentrations used, did not inhibit the artillery fungus. Colored mulches appeared to very slightly, but only temporarily, inhibit the artillery fungus. We attribute this to the colored mulches being slightly more water repellent and therefore remain drier than the non-colored mulches, at least at first.
