Poll: What has been your favorite lig design?

#1 Post by IndyBraceFace »

So far, I've been sticking with plain wire ties on my top ceramics and silver on my bottom metal, but I'm thinking of changing it up a bit. What has been your favorite color scheme so far? Post a pic if you have one as well!

I would have to say I liked silver the best. Even if it is boring.

I also liked my purple top arch and teal lower arch combo. :)

I liked my alternating blue and pink ligs. :D Those were probably my favorite! I'm thinking about getting silver ligs for when I'm performing in our play! But I'm not sure yet, its seems kind of boring. I also really like having black! They kind of make the braces look nicer or my teeth look better, or something like that! :roll:

Sorry I don't have any pics! :?

Good luck and let us know what you choose!

After having 3 different colors (purple, light pink, light blue), I decided on silver for my last adjustment. I find it quite boring, and will get color at my adjustment on Thursday. Just can't decide which color!

I'm heading into my fourth adjustment, so I haven't done a lot really.
I haven't had anything I didn't like, other than clear ligs on the clear brackets because they stained so fast lol.

Hot pink was fun, lavender was subtle and nice - I was able to put dark purple on the bottom for a bit of fun, and currently I have silver on the top with a variety on the bottom. The variety is a one-time thing the assistant let me do, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink run across, it's fun too. As for the silver, I finf they are using their vibrance and brightness that make my teeth look good.

I've got one coming up soon, I have to decide on a combo this time....

I, like Jay and Leslie022, have self-ligating brackets. My ortho's office still puts ligs on though. They say its for comfort, and you don't have to have them if you don't want them.
I get them cuz I like picking different colors. My fav combo so far is hot pink and black alternating. 8)
It's really cool how they put them on too. They put them on diagonally.
Sorry I don't have any pics. I'm at school and left my digital camera at home :x

Good that i denied self ligaturing brackets, didn't want to miss color styling :)

I most favor strong shiny and glowing colors, like the royal blue i currently wear. I will continue with red, black, pink, blue and mixtures of it.

Very cool colorful pic @ butterfly, even 2 different colors on a single bracket. But already a bit to exaggerated. (I wouldnt deny it though if offered :P ) Ill asking for rainbow colors on one future adjustment, new color each bracket :)
