Metal Mouth Message Board

I have wire ties all the way around on both top and bottom and I have clear brackets on the top.

The wire ties are barely noticeable. No worry about staining!

I have white wire ties and clear powerchains. No complaints here.

Clear, clear, and more clear for 2 and a half years

I have white wire ties on all my brackets.

what exactly are wire ties? I've heard a lot of things mentioned about them but I don't think I've seen any...

i have white ligs on the clear, and red and pink alternating on the metal (bottom)

I stayed with clear or pearl ligs on my ceramics for a year. At my year anniversary adjustment, my ortho said to put wire ties on..I won't go back!!!! Even thought the power chain is clear, and somewhat stained, it is not nearly as noticeable as the clear, stained ligs! I really like the wire ties!

Clear ligs up top, shocking pink on the bottom.

Except for two teeth which effectively have wire ties to create hooks for elastics.

Throughout my treatment I've had clear ligs and the occassional wire tie on the top ceramics, and smokey silver on the bottom.

As I;m nearing the end of my treatment, I now have a clear powerchain on top and a silver one on the metal bottoms.

I'm fortunate enough to have white wire ties on my ceramics. I have powerchains right now, but they're on my back teeth and they're silver. When they put a powerchain across my front teeth they use clear.

Lilac!

But two brackets on the bottom have clear "bumper" ligs on them, and they turned a disgusting brown color after a couple days of eating. But when given a choice, colors all the way for me!
