Lig colors.

#601 Post by Wired Skull »

Hi. Just plain silver this time. As there is a limited range of colors on power chains (clear, grey and silver) at my ortho I just went silver.

SnowSara: You're deep red maroon ligs looks cool. I like them a lot.

My ortho does coloured ligs, but only clear powerchains, and I am mostly in chains right now. So I ordered some of my own about 6 months ago (purple and black). I'm getting bored with them now so I just ordered 2 new ones in neon pink and neon green. I'm looking forward to trying one of them out when I go for my adj on the 16th.

Lisa...where do you order your colored ligs from? I want to order a couple of colors and take them to my ortho b/c he too only has a limited selection of colors.

I got mine on ebay from a seller called orthodealer. But if you're in the US, there's several places you can get them.
J.A.W Products is another place you could try. They do all kinds of stuff (but sadly did not ship to the UK)

Not sure about the yellow, zefirynka, but I like the purple. I always look forward to seeing what colours you've picked this time!

Hi zefirynka

Love the purple and that you have them on the two front teeths before alternating them. I must admit with Lisa65 that the yellow don't look as good as the purple but the most important is that you like it. :wink:

It was my friends idea to mix purple and yellow. And I've said - why not? And that is the result. It looks nicer in original than on the photo :)

But I'm glad to hear your opinion :)
Take care guys :)

Nice going Tim. So why not fully pink?
I get red on Friday; I boldly go where I've not gone before...
Does anyone ever comment on your ligature colors?

I've gotten a few people that comment on my color choices and all but no one has commented in person about my color choices this time... Will see how long it takes for anyone in person to notice I have pink!

Picking colours is the greatest thing in wearing braces :)
I think it's the only great thing in wearing braces ;)

I agree. At first I wanted my braces to be as invisble as possible. That's why I choosed clear brackets. After a while it got boring and I wanted color :D
To bad I need to have a powerchain for a while. My ortho don't have them in many colors :cry: Now I like having colors.
I don't think the braces are too bad to wear.
