There are ligs there, they're just a very light color and blend in with the bracket/teeth.

Anyway, it's still true that you can get self-ligating brackets.
My brother donated his old computer monitor to me just a few weeks ago when he upgraded his system. My previous one was soooo dark that I could only see really high contrast items -- if I was lucky text on background. :shock:

It's nice to be able to see the details again.:)


BTW, I think that my ligs (silver) blend in nearly that well, except for where they're twisted into figure eights. Perhaps they blend in too well. May have to experiment with the color wheel a bit next appointment. :twisted:
