Wow.
Just wanted to say I love the thread. I've done a few searches looking for pics of different coloured ligs and found nothing much; this thread was a great idea Meryaten!
I love everyone's colours, I'm afraid I've been very boring and only had silver on my metal (top and bottom). First adjustment is today. I'm trying to work up the courage for colour, maybe metallic or light blue but I don't know if I will be ok with the colour for a whole 4-6 weeks!
Oh the committment!!

Samer here, I don't have the courage to try colors yet, but I am hoping that sometime this summer I'll get the courage to try one. I really want purple as I've seen many pictures with purple ligs and it looks so nice.

I thought I wouldn't want colors, but at my adjustment today decided--what the hey and had them put on my favorite color- maroon- on the top. The bottoms are going to have to wait for another time:

I currently have pink ligs although their getting changed next thursday to purple and something.
At my first adjustment i got silver ligs, my ortho just shoved them on without me asking.
When i had my braces put on i had black and purple ligs but i dont have any photos of that.

Wire Ties

Can you specifically ask for wire ties or is that something your orthodontist decides? Are they the same thing as ligatures, or what?

You can ask, but that's up to the ortho if he/she uses them. Other wise you can just get colors lig.

What are peoples experiences with staining? What colour do the different coloured bands stain/fade to? And finally what stains/fades the least?
Id love to go bold with the different colours - but half of my upper teeth are with bands and half are with wire ties. I think it would look a little odd. However with the bottom I think Im going to need something other than silver - it feels a little heavy! Mind you - Ive only been braced a week!

I actually have some wireties too. They put the color ligs on top of them so I don't look silly. You could ask if they would do this for you.

I just got my top braces on Thurday. They use Damons, but they still put ligs on. The assistant said they put them on mainly for comfort. The way the ligs are put on are wierd, but I think it will look cool when I get colors at my first adjustment. I went with silver at first. I wanted to get used to the braces first before I got crazy with colors.

Where can you buy ligs from? and did your ortho change them or did you do it yourself?
