Braces and Glasses: Your Guide to Looking Great and Feeling Confident
If you’re about to start orthodontic treatment and already wear glasses, you might be wondering how both will affect your appearance. Some people picture the “nerdy” stereotype and worry they won’t feel their best. At Dominion Orthodontics, we see it differently — braces and glasses can actually work together to create a stylish, put-together look that’s all your own.
This combination is becoming more common (and more celebrated) thanks to fashion trends, social media, and influencers who proudly show off their unique style. With the right choices, braces and glasses can highlight your personality instead of hiding it.
Why the Braces + Glasses Look Works
It tells a story. Both braces and glasses signal that you’re taking steps to invest in yourself.
It frames your smile. Glasses can draw attention to your eyes, while braces show off the smile you’re working toward.
It’s a modern style statement. Today’s eyewear and braces colors are more customizable than ever, letting you create a look that fits your personality.
How to Make the Look Your Own
Experiment with color. If you like bold styles, coordinate your braces elastics with the color of your frames, or pick contrasting colors for an eye-catching twist.
Choose flattering frame styles. From oversized square frames to delicate wire rims, the right shape can make your features stand out in all the right ways.
Balance your look. Keep your outfit or makeup simple if your glasses and braces are bold, or go all-in with statement accessories if you love standing out.
Confidence Over Everything
The most stylish people are the ones who own their look. Whether you choose bright elastics or keep things subtle, your confidence will be the thing people remember most — not just your braces or glasses.
At Dominion Orthodontics, we want every patient to feel great about their smile, both during and after treatment. That’s why we offer fun colored elastics for kids and latex-free rubber bands for patients with allergies, so you can customize your braces to match your style.
