Hi Beth! They're just plain clear. My ortho doesn't have any fancy clear-like colors that are said to be more resistant to staining like pearl or smoke...darn. One day down the road I'll probably try some color on top.

Colored Ligs

#710 Post by Wired Skull »

Hi. I haven't checked in for a while. On my latest appointment I went for black ligs and a black powercahin. I really like it. Now I need some nice colored elastics instead for the standard clear ones I got. Sadly not attached in this pic though.

I just got braced earlier this month. And have had two colors so far. I am about to turn 42yrs old and the assistants at the office laugh at me because I am always talking about changing my lig colors.

I gotta say, I really love the contrast between lovely white teeth and black ligs/powerchains.

I think this combo looks awesome!

Just bumping this! I don't have anything interesting to show, as I have clear powerchains at the moment.

The colorful ligs and powerchains in this thread actually make me MISS MY BRACES! I wish I was getting "spring colors" :wink:
