What Colors?
On Thursday I have my first official appointment. This will not be the first time I've been to my ortho since getting my uppers. I have had an appointment to trim a wire and get a bite plate due to my grinding, three to get brackets reattached and one to have a clip replaced. I can't say it’s been smooth sailing but I'm still happy and excited about my progress. One advantage to having this number of unofficial appointments is my banding for my lowers got moved up a week with spacers installed while a bracket was being reattached. I may also get a new archwire or elastics during this appointment.
If I have the option of adding any color to my smile via ligatures or power chains any suggestions? When I started this I thought be reserved, you're a 48 year old male. Now I'm used to the idea of braces and want to have fun!

I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

I second meryaten's advice. I selected what I regarded as a fairly bold colour - something like the banner in KK's ticker - and it turned out something like this.

I'm quite happy with it, but I reckon if I'd chosen something paler, the colour would have disappeared completely.
Ugh...have just spotted some left over lunch between my teeth....

I'll go either for Christmas or Purple if given the option. For all I know I could get wire ties and not have any options.

I can't tell you how dissapointed I was to walk out of my orthos office with In Ovation brackets (no colors). The family had even taken a vote and picked out my first three months of colors I think I would go red for Christmas - IMO the red green combo would bug me on Jan. 5th. Red is nice, cheerful and Christmasy (Christmasie? Christmissy? is that a word?). I will just have to settle for hanging some tinsle and angles from my archwire
