I am sooo diggin' that orange - goldmetal!! :thumbsup: That might be my next color!!! I have the same brackets on top and i have metal bottoms! I love that gold!! My next colors will be patriotic b/c of the upcoming holiday but after that i might have to go with orange!! let me know please if they f...

anneke congrats on your great decision to get braced!! :jump: i'm a month into mine and at first i only had bottoms (for a week) and i was fine with them...they are metal and farely (SP) small brackets...then i got my top ones and they are clear ceremic and they are bigger than the bottoms....i cou...

thanks for the help..those web sites were great but they seem to have the same colors that my ortho already offers....i was hoping to try and find some glitter/sparkle ones that i have heard talked about on here.....guess i'll just ask my ortho and see if they can order them from wherever it is tha...

Hey guys..i was wondering, i have heard some people on here talking about they have purchased ligatures in different colors off the internet and i was just wondering how and from what site they did that? I would like to see if i can find more colors than what my ortho has to offer including the spa...

i would say that baby pink is a good color for clear ligs. I have clear ceremic on top and metal lowers and i started out with baby pink. they didn't fade at all for me, of course i don't drink coffee and i stay away from dark soda pop so they weren't a big deal for fading....i now have electric pi...

tipstar how did you get sparkle ligs? does your ortho have them or did you order them off line? Does anyone know where to order ligs off line from? I'd like to get some sparkle ones!!!

I like my colors..they are much more fun than the plain clear ones!! I don't mind my braces, i'm having fun picking out my colors!! That's about the only reason i look forward to my adjustments, so i can change colors again!!! Why hide 'em........what's that saying..... "if you got it, flaunt ...

just a bit of fyi for all you newbies trying to "chew your way back"..i tried tortilla chips last night and let me tell ya.....regreting it now!! my molars are killing me!! :oops: i'm having to regress back to my smoothies for a day or so!! ugh!!! :roll: i think i tried to much to soon!!!...

i would really suggest to chew chew chew as much as you can too! i am two weeks post brace day and am eating burgers, fries, soft meats (chicken), enchiladas (cut up into pieces), potatoes, mac and cheese and a few more things. but if you "baby" your teeth they won't get used to normal fo...

congratulations on your braces brenda!! i'm 26 with ceramic uppers and metal lowers....and two weeks into the whole process. at first i was very selfconcious...i felt like mr. ed and not all that happy with my choice to get braces but now i'm proud of my teeth and my decision. i'm looking forward to...

i'm in the same boat as you two mhiem.... my two front teeth were pushed back making the two next to them stick out lick fangs too....and not to mention they grew in crooked....my two options were the same...take teeth out or have surgery....i elected neither...i'm having metal anchors put in on the...
