#1 Post by Kim »

I have a sore throat, so I decided to take a few chewable orange flavoured Vitamin C tablets so that I don't end up getting a major cold, but right now I don't care about the friggin cold.... They majorly stained my ligatures!! I'm so pissed coz I only got these new ones on at my last adjustment on Thursday. This was the first time I decided to be adventurous with colours at by partners request, lol. (I've been staying safe with silver). But now my cute pretty pastel pink ligatures are a each a different shade ranging from disgusting peach to orange colour from the Vitamin C and from me brushing vigoursly in attempt to rectify the situation!! Grrrr. :evil: Now its a whole month of these until my next adjustment in January! I want to cry! :cry: lol.

You might want to give the ortho a call and see if they will replace them.
