It depends on your mouth, entirely. Most people do wind up needing them, and they're used to correct the bite. I started using them at around a year or so in to close spaces where they had pulled teeth and to fix some overbite. Still using them, and I'm at 2 years, one month. As far as the color thing goes, it'll depend on what your orthodontist has got and how nice they are. Haha. Mine usually ask me if I'd like some "pretty color ones".

Thoe rubber bands are by Rx only. Your orthodontic is the only one that can give you the rubber bands. Most people will wear the rubber bands at some point during their treatment. They are use to correct the bite. About the color is up to the orthodontic supplies the doctor gets.

yeah they have color ones
just depends which ones they give you
no not everyone wheres them only if you need them
trust me you don't them them
they suck

Well it all depends on your orthodontist. You could get them in the begginging, the end, or the whole way through (like I did) but some people don't get them at all, and yet some people have to wear 6 at a time. You can ONLY get them at your orthodontist. The colors vary from orthodontist, mine sometimes had the colorful kinds, and sometimes they had the clear or beige kinds. It all depends.

y do you want rubberbands i hear they hurt im getting braces tommrow

Your orthodontist will give you them maybe after 6 months. Ask yourorthodontist and I'm sure he'll give you the colored ones. Be sure to wear them though; or you'll have your braces on longer than you were supposed to. I didn't.. it sucked.

depends on ur ortho
and ur mouth. they r for ppl with overbites
and ask ur ortho for colors and i think u can get them at a drugstore
