Can i order my own ligs?

[nikkibabie19]

Just was wondering....

My ortho has the lamest colour ligs out....A lot of dark bland colours (I guess people here arent excited about braces and they try to not get attention as much drawn to their teeth)
Unlike me...i dont care....I think i smile more with braces on...Bcuz i want to show of the colours i've got...

I like bright colours....HE HAS NO PINK.....i love pink

Yes, thats what I did. I ordered a big bag from ebay (the guy even let me choose all the colors) and bring them to my appointments. I figured there'd be a small chance that my ortho wouldn't want to use them for one reason or another, but she and the assistants don't have a problem with it. $10 well spent to have a bigger selection to choose from. (like yours, their colors were dark and bland)

Oh thank goodness...I'll look into it...

They are on ebay in a variety of colors. Even the pink color you want!!!! Im sure you can contact the seller to see if you can switch out colors if there are colors you prefer. I saw a pack on there for $7.99 so they are not very expensive at all. Keep us updated on what you find.

Oh ok cool..I'll definitely look into it..

My only prob is that i live in the Caribbean so getting it shipped might be a bit of a hassle...and cost more than the actual product..I'll see if i can get my family who lives out there to get it for me and bring it down or sumthing like that.

thanks for the info

Hey Nikki. This is a link to a seller on ebay who has the ligs for $9.50 and have FREE international shipping. I hope this helps. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Pack-Dental-O ... 310ab#shId

This is awesome

You are so WELCOME!!!!

ebay is loaded with them. But alot of them are coming out of China.

[nikkibabie19]

Yea i know....I just was a bit skeptical about the international shipping.

But i got them locally...I had no idea why i didnt think about calling another ortho's office and askin them to purchase it from them...lol

I was talkin to a friend and mentioned ordering them online and she asked y i didnt just call another ortho and find out!!! lol

Smh...

[NICURN85]

I am so happy you were able to get them without doing the online ordering!! What colors did you end up getting??

[Kipepeo]

Why can't you just ask your ortho to get brighter colors?

[nikkibabie19]

I did ask him but he says his office doesnt carry bright colours because most of his clients use (dull) colours NOT to draw attention to their teeth...

And that he usually orders the whole packet and and to get one set for me might be a hassle from his suppliers....

At Kimmie...I didnt go collect them as yet...I was busy at the work...Will prob go next week before my appointment....I asked tho, and the lady there said they had lots of pinks & nice shades of blue...So im good with that.
