Lig colours (colors)
Moderator: bbsadmin
My ortho told me last week I only have 2 appointments to go... I got purple and black this time and told the assistant I would let her pick the colors next time. I am excited to be ending this journey soon, but I didn't get to try all the color combos I had planned out! Especially now that I'm out of power chains and back in regular ligs that can be alternated!! So torn!

Rainbow was definitely in the plan! Let's see, what else... well mainly I was inspired by pics in this thread, I love the watermelon (green & pink) combo, a blue/purple combo maybe? And I haven't even had any red yet at all! Or orange... jeez see what I mean? There's just not enough time when your treatment is so short!

Then it has even one good thing my treatment is so long: I try an nearly all color combinations ^^

I haven't ventured into multiple colours yet (maybe for Christmas ) but here is what I got on Oct 22 which was 3rd adjustment for top brace and fitting of bottom braces.
Is it only me or does everybody find that the colours look totally different on than they do when you are looking at the strips trying to pick a colour?? So far I have had grey, purple, blue and now teal. Next adjustment Dec 3rd, not sure what to go for, maybe deep pink.

Uppers braced (metal), molar bands upper & lower 25 May 07

Baby blue is a cute color. Baby blue and dark blue look really neat together too. That has been one of my favorite combo's I've had. I did it last January and loved it.Here is my new ligs.... 1st adjustment
baby blues..... LOVE THEM
Here is my latest... purple and hot pink. It's the second (or third?) time I've done it, but they are my favorite colors so I can't resist.
