Hello Lovely Folks!

I was just thinking about what colour id like my next set and elastics and i've decided on purple but ....i was thinking since my teeth are yellowish will purple make them look even more yellowy since they are complimentary colours? People with discoloured teeth are advised to stay well clear of purple lipstick...is it the same for elastics??

YES!! They are horrible. My teeth are not bad at all, i did a little whitening before i got my braces put on. But purple made my teeth look so bad, i almost went right back into the ortho to have them changed. I will not use purple at all anymore. I'd advise against you trying it too. Really.

I just went to your website and your teeth do not look too yellow at all. Really. Yours are about as yellow as mine, which aren't too yellow since i quit smoking last year. But still, purple is bad.

Sorry Ashes! I thought you were two people! I read your messages on my iPod and clearly didn't look properly! ;-#
