My favorite color is a clear bright blue, but in a retainer I would love about anything, as long as I can either wear it myself or play around with it on my girlfriend.

I'd go with blue or red but then again anything nice and bright that draws attention wouldn't be bad

I like clear, well polished, shiny plastic without glitter or other opaque ingredients.
Color does not really matter, I like them all, as far as it is not black.

first of all, i have so say sorry about my bad english, i hope you understand what i mean.

now, mainly the color is not decisived, but in here it´s asked for, so... hmm ... i think something plain would be "nice". whether now fiercely or weakly play´s no role. nevertheless, pictures should stay outside please .... and multicolored aren´t my favorite (like a rainbow or somethink else). quite with pleasure seen, but not necessarily liked.

It would be nice if they made them out of shiny steel (or something that looks like it), like most other stuff.

Yes, but prefer headgear pictures

I love clear retainers! But I love when the girl has a clear top and bottom one, or a clear top one and a lower bonded one...SO HOT! ^_^

I have a friend from Deutschland she has two clear retainers, she always shows them to me...it's awesome!

I'd prefer clear like furluvgirl.

I like them with glitter, light aqua blue translucent acrylic, or any that glows in the dark. 8)

classic transparent pink. But also the 70th style, opaque pink, from the same plastic dentures were made of.

I think it is best if the retainer has a very strong color like bright green.

I like retainers at different colors like green, blue or red. But the red shades like me at the time best. I particularly like the see-through (transparent) Retainer. What are me do not like colorful Retainer that have multiple colors. Even pictures on Retainer I think that is wrong. Because I liked several colors I can tick no concrete answer.

Post by: KidFrost51 on 30. May 2016, 18:59:28 PM
I don't think I could pick a single best of favorite color. I like just about any color with glitter added in whether clear, pink, purple, or even bright fluorescent colors. There are too many choices to pick just one!

Post by: coffeemate on 15. June 2016, 05:52:30 AM
I got clear acrylic for my fakes, thinking it would be less obvious for long-term wear. But I like to see bright colors for others.
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?
Post by: retained on 16. June 2016, 00:19:25 AM
I also got mine in clear acrylic for the same reason. My bite plate doesn't have a front wire and although the plastic is level with the edge of my teeth, I didn't want it to be too obvious for full time wear.
Also have natural flesh pink Hawleys.

Voted clear red, but there's something to be said for purple as well. Of course, when I got a plate when I was a kid, I was too scared to pick anything other than the normal color.  :-[

My first hawley was clear, which I liked until it became discoloured by drinking coffee. So when I ordered a new one, I got transparent pink. I only wear it at night, so coffee is not a problem.
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?
Post by: duncombec on 30. July 2020, 01:29:08 AM
I'd have to go for clear acrylic, which was the colour of my removable, or the sort of translucent pink colour that also seems to have been very popular. Just as long as they are Hawleys!
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?

Transparent clear is the necest. Also gum color or transparent pink or light blue. No glitter, rainbow, no solid colors except pink.

Just found this poll - it's interesting to see all the colours listed like this and I think if I were having to choose it might be quite difficult as the range is overwhelming. If it's about seeing them on others then solid strong colours are best - I like them to be noticeable, and why not celebrate your treatment with a bright eye catching colour?
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?

Dark blue opaque.  Much as I love ortho I'm not much a fan of retainers in general.  I prefer fixed appliances and a sort of "finality" of getting them removed with nothing to come in their place. 
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?
Post by: Teddybear on 18. July 2022, 23:38:28 PM
I prefer colors that go well with the gum, like red or pink. But a nice blue with some glitter would be cool as well

Clear acrylic is my choice. But gum color is fine too.
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?
Post by: RetainedJms on 11. January 2023, 01:20:00 AM
Has to be either totally clear or the translucent pink gum colour for me. Although I also appreciate large bulky appliances in a more obvious solid colour like blue or orange.
Title: Re: Which colour do you like best for retainers?
Post by: TonyBracesandSpecs on 15. January 2023, 18:17:46 PM
I like clear acrylic or gum colours as I think they make 'self prescribed' (i.e fake) devices look more authentic.

Post by: Bracesx3 on 29. July 2023, 18:46:35 PM
I never had a choice. Both previous times they were vermillion opaque from 2 different orthodontists. I’m not sure what I would prefer, discretion with a lisp or flamboyance with a lisp.
