What color ligs do you have on your ceramic braces?

[BracesChick]

I've had mine almost 2 weeks and the clear are not as "clear" as they were on day one, and my first adjustment is not for 6 weeks. I was thinking of trying smoke or gray? I want them to be as invisible as possible. I would love to see pictures if anyone could post. I tried sifting through the 90 something post under the form that has all the lig colors but there are so many post! Thanks!

Tooth coloured ish/ ivory. Have only stained after sweet and sour noodle snack and only really shows due to powerchain.

If you have a look in my thread (link in my signature below) I always have smoke coloured. I drink 2 cups of a coffee a day (3 often on the weekends), eat tomato soup (actually I don't worry about what I eat at all, except curry, haven't braved it yet) and have never had them stain. They look a little manky when he takes them off but it's not noticable when they're still on my teeth. I love them. They look clear too.

Last time I saw the other ortho at the office for an emergency and he put pearl ligs on (I'll chuck a photo up later today if I get a chance) and they've held up well for 2 weeks so far (give or take). I don't like them as much though. I think they make my brackets look bigger and will be going back to smoke next time.

I hear gray works well too but wouldn't look clear like the smoke does.

No ligs here, but I had a navy blue powerchain not too long ago and really liked the look on my clear brackets. It looked complimentary to the wire.

I had a series of clear powerchains before that. They lasted pretty well and noone ever noticed.

Wow, it doesn't even look like you have ligs at all!

I got metal ties rather than ligatures because I'm a curry fanatic. Told my ortho that if my ligs stained, I'd consider it a dental emergency. She asked me if I were serious and I said, "very" so she decided on metal ties instead. You don't notice them at all...

Sorry, probably should have mentioned that I only have them on the bottoms, the tops are self ligating

I had my first adjustment on Monday. I had them change my clear ligs to pink on top and pink and purple alternating on the bottom. They ran out of purple so they couldn't alternate colors on the top. I have ceramics on top and bottom. Sorry haven't taken any pic's yet. Strangely no one I work with has even mentioned or noticed my colored ligs. I'm definitely happy I switched to colors. They are a lot more fun than clear. Some might think I'm a bit old for colored ligs (age 33) but I like them. I'm actually going to do an even brighter color next time like teal or teal and pink. If I take a pic I'll post it on here.

Updating that the clear/pearl (I'm pretty sure they're pearl) ligs are now starting to turn a charming shade of yellow/orange

Here are some pictures...

Never to old to have fun! I am 50 and have lime green!

I'm almost 34 and have rocked pink/purple and teal.

I don't have ligs. But I just got fluorescent elastics. I was told just today to stop wearing them, though.
