I had orange ligs put on at my appt this week. The assistant asked me if i wanted black and orange or just orange. I opted for just orange because I didn't know how black would look on metals. I don't have braces on bottom yet or I probably would have went with orange on top and black on bottom.

Expander and retainer out
Braces on bottom, bite blocker on top
Yes, I think they're pretty fun...although not that any people have noticed if I don't point it out to them. I think that maybe we think colours on our ligs are more noticable than they actually are--because no one ever notices mine, even when I go really bright!
Braces are Now Off!
Metal Braces Top and Bottom
Expanders Top and Bottom

I just had my adjustment Thursday afternoon! This is how black looks on metal:
I love the orange-black combination, but I was entirely too scared to get them! I thought it would've appeared a bit awkward, especially on an adult male. lol
I was about to go orange, but I chose black at the last second. Heh, live and learn.
