Christmas Colors
well yesterday was another adjustment , i didn't get my lower expander because the orthodontist wasn't in office due to an emergancy, so i just got powerchains upper an lower replaced , an yes green an red ties over the tops of the powerchain , they are great, ANYBODY ELSE ,( hgjoe )
braces off 1/31/08 wearing bonded retainers with a nightsplint, will get removable hawleys 2/21/08
That's great!
My last adjustment was last week... and I really considered getting red or green ligs but of course I chickened out. I can't do it! I'm almost a year into my braces and all I've worn are white ligs...I'm too self-conscious I guess!

That's the spirit!
For my first time, I didn't know about choosing color so the assistant chose silver for me. One week later, in an emergency appointment, I got to change the wire and lig, I chose pink.
Then one month after, I got green! I'm ready for the holidays.
Actually, I just took a picture yesterday for my driver's license, and I did a big smile hoping it'll show. But since the picture is too small, it doesn't look apparent unless you search for it.
Looking back, I don't think I'm gonna return to silver anymore. This is really a good chance to try all kinds of colors, why sticking to the silver? Try something fun!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Good for you, Bracedagain! I'm in your 50+ club and went with GOLD brackets to start & now I'm using coloured ligatures. When I go for an adjustment, I wear something to match the next colour I'm choosing. Right now I've got green & will do RED for Christmas.
Yes, we need to have fun with this adventure!!

I'm also close to 50. And I'm going to ask for colored ligs instead of neo-clips on 12/4. I'm not bold enough to get red and green (plus Xmas isn't really my holiday). I'm thinking about pink and blue, upper and lower (maybe).
Who know, by Valentine's Day I may be asking for rose red.
So it goes.

Spacers, Nov. 1; Braced Nov. 8, 2006; Braces off March 26, 2008, just short of 17 months. Glad it's over but the jury is still out on whether the game was worth the candle.

OK, I'll take the bait.bracedagain wrote:
Any other of the "older" group getting colors too?
Like ellebee, I don't really do Xmas (other than the eating side, which I do with a vengeance).
I'm so taken with mauve - not even the most potently coloured curry can dent the colour - that I'm going to stick with that for the time being.
