I only did colors twice- once pink and once light blue. The blue was the best. They actually made my teeth look whiter, and they didn't change colors at all. I was worried that they might turn green.

The pink ones were okay, but I was told on the first day that it looked like I had chewed up one of those pink tablets that stick to your plaque so you know where you need to brush. (That was my boss speaking...the wife of a dentist!) Needless to say, I didn't get pink again after that.

this is me with silver ligs on clear braces...which is the best color to get cause it doesn't stain or look funny. i think people look funny with the clear or white ligs on ceramic braces..it makes them look like..chunky or something haha!

If you click on my www you can see purple on stained teeth ... apart from it being my favourite colour ... I do really love it on my teeth!
KK: Thanks for the pic! I really am leaning toward purple. I just hope it doesn't shock my corporate world bosses and co-workers too much!

I always get asked what color I want. We have a business trip coming up in January so I got silver ligs this time and the assistant told me that I was being "boring" LOL She wanted me to get red and green.
I got a light blue last time and I thought it made my teeth more yellow looking than the silver but I think that it was the shade of blue that I choose.
I say go ahead and ask, and pick what you like. I mean hey, have fun with it!! If you like purple then go with purple!

You took a picture of yourself naked?

Well I always get clear for mine, never tried any other color. My dentist says, "Ha, typical boy! All boys choose clear."
