I'm pretty happy with the results.

AND - I had a tagine (Moroccan stew) today, rich with saffron. Although my fingernails were brilliant yellow afterwards where I had been dipping bread in the sauce, I didn't have to worry one bit about staining my ligs

Your teeth are looking awesome! That pink is amazing on your teeth!

I hope to be brave enough one day to sport a colored lig!

Oh they look super - the pink also looks more fuschia (which I prefer) - do you know its exact name?

Mine is "Screaming Pink" I think.

wow I think your teeth both look great weird_ wired and dark angel...can't wait for the day when mine straighten up as well as both of yours. was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible with the old 'tooth colour' ligs but U think I might be brave after seeing yours and go for the pink!

Finally managed to get it so you can see it better. This was just after my last adjustment i now have gaps between my top incisors which must mean my extraction gaps are closing. To everyone in silver and pearl ligs go for colours i love them. Im thinking about going back to purple and black or maybe aqua at my next appointment.

Be brave

Amen! While I like the near 100% invisibility of brand new clear ligs (and if I had to get photos done, I would go and get some put on specially) colour is not only fun and pretty, it makes teeth look whiter. Not just because the yellow is gone, but because of the contrast between the tooth and the lig colour.

I think if I had metal and I needed to get photos done, I would get white ligs put on. The demo-model of teeth my orthodontist shows people has different coloured ligs on, and the white ones kind of mask the metal quite a bit, as from a slight distance they look like part of the tooth.

But for other times, colour is easiest

I did hot pink on my lowers this morning, it is a hot pink powerchain but it doesn't look as bright as your's does. When I look in the mirror it blends in, I have ceramics on the bottom and I love how colors look on them. I haven't been brave enough for colors on top though.
BTW...your hot pink looks awesome!
