I'll update you before I get them changed in July. Thanks for the compliment on the gold brackets. I know other people get them. I haven't ever seen gold on any one else in my neck of the woods.

I have ceramic uppers, since I work closely with the public. However, my lowers are metal. I definately think that when it's time for an adjustment, that I'm going to get a color on the bottom. You've given me lots of great ideas! Some of the colors they have now are beautiful.
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 fade and if they do how bad!! Keep the pictures!!
