I'm now braceless, but for Christmas a couple of times, I did the BLUE AND GOLD thing.... looks nice. I tried the Red and Green, but it just wasn't attractive with my complexion -- I didn't like it.
When my kid and I went in Tuesday for our adjustment, she left with orange & lime ligs. Very cool, very fun, and I like it a lot. I got silver again as I thought I'd have wire ties like last time. She had dark blue & lime last time, and it was a bit odd with the dark tooth/light tooth contrast. I think she made a much better choice this time. Even if I'm in the next chair, I let her pick her own colors.
I chose red on top and green on the bottom! I like it! Except one of the ligs on the bottom came off totally unexpectedly and for no reason! Oh well...
