The first time, I got lime green and pink, then I went with teal and purple. 3rd time I got green and pink again, this time I got light blue and pink. I have had good luck with all of those colors so far.

When I first got my ceramic braces on I had clear ligs and that was a huge mistake! Now I always get silver and nothing seems to ever stain them and they are still not very noticeable.

I did clear on the top and silver on the bottom when I had my braces first put on (Ceramic top, Metal bottom). 2nd month Kids said "Daddy you can get colors, you should get blue" I said "Ok blue on the bottom?" They said "No on the top and the bottom" So now I am rocking the Royal blue on the top and the bottom. Yep on the ceramic and everything. LOL Hey at least they didn't pick Fuschia or something really wacky.. That'll be next month I can already see it. LOL

The dental assistant at my ortho's office told me straight up not to get clear because they turn brown. She suggested silver as the least noticeable without staining and I had those for my first 2 weeks. I ate curry, drank coffee all day and no stains. Just switched to black ligs this week and obviously nothing is going to stain those. I think I like the black and might stick with those.

My neighbor has braces and she only wear gray bands. I can't even see them when she talk. I guess that's because they are the same color as the braces. I think I'll be doing the same thing.
