I've had my braces 2 weeks now, and I went with black both top and bottom. I love how they look. I think I'm going to go with teal and pink in January.

I really liked this subject and thought that it should be brought back to the front of the line. Its great to see others ideas for some cool selection of colors. I'm still pretty embarassed by how my teeth look so I haven't gotten too daring with my color selection (trying not to draw too much attention to my teeth) yet. I'm still waiting for these two lats to get closer to the archwire, then there will be better symmetry. I'll then feel more comfortable with my lig selection. I must say, I really liked that two toned green. I'd like to try something like that sometime.

Here are my colors from yesterday's adjustment: light purple (lavender) power chain on top, and then the light purple alternated with black on the bottom.

Which do you all think is best?

As I will be trying to draw the least attention to my metal brackets on top and bottom. I think I've narrowed it down to Silver or Black. Which do you all think would be best for my purposes?
