I'm getting the upper 6 brackets clear, but no wire in 2 weeks because of my RPE. I was wondering if any of you had this, and could you get colors without having the wire? I think having colors would cheer me up for some reason..like purple or pink --KK i LOVE yours!
It should be no problem, as long as you speak up about it. When I was getting braced, they put just my top brackets on first without a wire. The tech working on me put silver ligs on all the brackets, but if I had asked, I'm sure he would have put colors on for me.
