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)
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.

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!

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
To bad I need to have a powerchain for a while. My ortho don't have them in many colors Now I like having colors.
I don't think the braces are too bad to wear.
