Metal Mouth Message Board

What are the prettiest blue ligs for braces? I'm going back to the orthodontist tomorrow and I can't decide which color to choose.

I'll be honest CherryB....I have light blue ligs and, while I'm glad I've tried that colour, it isn't the prettiest for the mouth. My teeth are small, not a high beam white and my upper teeth sit behind my lower teeth so they aren't highly visible....I feel the blue ligs, combined with the metal braces, makes my mouth look 'cold' and dark.

I don't like when the dr changes ligs but I'll be looking forward to trying a different colour next time.

My ortho had a plethora of shades of blue... I had baby blue as my first set of ligs and enjoyed them because they held up well to coffee stains (they changed color a bit but it wasn't an unpleasant color, so that's good). I also had a periwinkle blue that I quite enjoyed... oh and metallic sort "navy" (more on the purple side) with subtle sparkles in it. I'm sorry, I can't pick a favorite color obviously, I had a lot of fun choosing colors and looked forward to changing it up every time between warm and cool colors. I had black and purple once and really liked that, I was surprised how much I liked the black. I find pink and purple to be most attractive, they blend in with the lips and gums better.

Have fun!! Ask the orthos assistants which colors they like on patients!
