I'm not sure if my ortho will get in any colours as i'm getting my treatment free on the NHS (National Health Service)
I may consider asking him if he will on my next app though.
He seemed to imply they are not popular and thats why he didn't stock them, but I think that since he never gives anyone the option for colours most of the other patients don't know you can get colours.
I didn't know until I started using this site!
Karen, its great you can get your own colours.
I wonder if my normal dentist stocks them or my cousins who are dentists, hmm..
I only said I know its unusual for damons to have powerchains bcoz of what broochie said (see below)
You probably mean ligatures. No, Damons are what is called self-ligating brackets, i.e. they don't need the little o'rings rubberbands around each bracket to hold the archwire. Instead, every bracket has a little "door" that the ortho opens to remove the old archwire and then closes after he had placed the new one.
