What did you change it to, to be more "discreet"? Silver?I needed to get powerchains at a recent adjustment. My ortho only had clear and blue available, so I chose the blue to avoid staining. Since I had another appointment two weeks later to reposition some brackets, I went ahead and got blue on my uppers also. I personally didn't like the colored ligs because people who hadn't noticed my braces were suddenly noticing them. At my next appointment, I had the uppers changed to something more discreet.

Hey brace faces! 
Just had my 2nd (16 week) adjustment, and went with a TEAL power chain for the summer!

It's my 2nd powerchain, those spaces are coming together QUICKLY! And good news from the ortho - I won't need elastics at all! Although I have to admit part of me was looking forward to shooting those things across the room.

Trying to find
I am trying to find glow in the dark ligs so I can buy them and take them in for the next adjustment.

orange on mine
I just got my bottom braces on Thursday and will get the top ones and an expander (ouch!) this coming Thursday.
I got orange on mine, but was disappointed that the main crowded tooth was so far back that they had to loop a gray band around the wire instead of using the orange like the rest of my teeth. The assistant said that maybe next time my teeth will have moved enough for it to get the usual treatment.
