LOL I never thought about that... when I had that color combo I thought it looked like I had a baby shower party going on in my mouth. I really didn't care for the combo on my teeth, but it looks nice on yours especially with the ceramic brackets.I got pink and blue this time...everyone keeps calling me cake mouth..

I went in to change my stained powerchains today (big event this weekend) and ...

Light silver on top, light blue on the bottom. I've been wanting light blue for a very, very long time, and since I'm due for an adjustment next week, I figured this would be a good time to give it a shot!

Hi MissDiana.
Love the colors. My ortho only have light silver and clear power chains. I like the light silver but it tend to get stained in about 3 weeks. At least for me as I drink coffee.
I'm off to my ortho on friday. Not sure what colors I will choose but I'll let you know
good luck and hope you like your power chains.

Ok, so i'm soon to be braced on Nov. 27th with damon's. Now I drink a decent amount of (sweet)tea, and maybe 2-3 cups of coffee in the mornings. What color should I go with so I don't look like I have a mouth full of crap? I've seen so many posts on here talking about clear and grey, but honestly, what won't show as much......or should i just go with a color.........??????

I know this will be the first time you'll be in braces and you don't want to show them as much however just enjoy your treatment go crazy get colors 
When I first got braces I was just like you I didn't want to show them off well I got over the hurdle the day I got them and I picked a color! Dark Blue!

Actually Tim, this will be my third time in braces. But the first time I was in my early teens, i didn't drink much coffee or tea then, mostly water. Second time was when i was 18 for almost 5 years, same then, mostly water. But now in my old age, I can't live with out my coffee.......I still drink a good bit of water though.....and tea....I can't give up sweet tea.....(It's a southern thing)......

Is it just me or does some colors in the powerchains seem thicker than others? I had hot pink and black before and the pink seemed to be thicker...I have silver now and it seems really thick...

I will be getting damon's, but he also told me I would need power chains at the second appt. and would need them to close a few gaps in the back, on the top and bottom. I have my wisdom teeth out when I was 18 after breaking my jaw, and even after almost 5 years of braces, the gaps around my molars have opened up..... but it makes for easy flossing right now...or until my b-day the the gaps get closed up.
Colors are cool!!
I have regular silver right now, but now after looking at all of your color combinations I can't wait to try something. My first adjustment is on Dec. 10. I am thinking about going with the standard red and green. If not, I will go with my favorite color, Purple!!
Yay since I've got a picture now I can add!!
Top braces from day 1:
You can't really see the ligatures but they're black and pink! Sorry the pic is so bad it was taken with a webcam.
Next adjustment I may get baby pink (what I have now) and baby blue. I know someone from AW had this I saw it and really loved it! Sorry if I steal ligature ideas! I love them! Here at AW we are so creative with ligature colours!!
ETA-- The someone is zero! Shout out- I love that colour combo!!
