I decided to go wild (for me) with my very last lig selection in braces (they come off tomorrow :D ) and picked pink and turquoise. Have to say more people have commented on how bright and non-boring they are. In 19 months this was the only selection that got comments.

lz,

The basic green that my ortho's office had just didn't look right to me so I went with the turqouise. Seems each orthos colors are a bit different so check the basic green with pink at your orthos office and then see what you think.

I think blue and aqua look nice together and not too girly. How dark is the metallic blue you are thinking of?

Well, here they are, my first lig colours. I walked in and my orthodontist just asked straight away "Do you want any colours?" :lol: He found mine interesting - said girls usually went for pink. When I explained to him the reasoning, he had a good laugh. "Mood Ligs" seems to be an appropriate term for mine :)

Unfortunately I don't have any photos but I've had:

*Just plan silver(my foster mum wouldn't let me get colours)

*Pink and Black alernating (I went to to the ortho on my own and said "I want colours, they're my braces not yours mum lol)

*Orange and Black alternating (ready for Halloween lol)

*Red and black alternating (I had these at my second tightening and now I have them again) :D
