What color was your first set of ligitures?
What color do you think would be good for a guy who is 21 years old for the first color?
What colors should I stay away from?

Some minor questions about this!

With full ceramics, I've had only wires ties up to this point. I wanted something as least noticable as possible. Last week I got powerchains on top and bottom. The asssistant recommended gray when I said I drink coffee. I went with it not knowing any better. The gray looked horrible (to me anyway). I went back on Monday and got them changed to pearl. MUCH better, the pearl is less visible for anyone who wants that route and won't stain quite as quickly as full clear. :lol:

Hot pink and purple at my first adjustment. Please excuse the disgusting brown stain on my bottom front teeth, it's caused by chlorhexidine gel which I was given after having my mini-implants done.

Looking at all these great ligature pics makes me almost sorry I'm getting Damon2's after my bite plate comes out. I wonder if my ortho would put ligs on anyway...

Sometimes asking your ortho assistant to pick your colors can backfire.

I figured it worked so well last time, I'd ask them to pick again. Problem was that this time the assistant I got wasn't into it and after several offers to let me pick them myself, she just shoved some silver ones on there. Boring. :roll:

silver ligs on metal brackets - unobtrusive, and even better, non-staining!
