I love hearts so if I would have had the option I might have gone with the hearts. I have a lot of heart jewelry (Tiffany's jewelry for example) and other things that have hearts on them so hearts on my teeth would be totally cool with me. I guess I am a big dork but I really like the idea...
Check out my braces story by clicking the WWW
28 months and 22 days in braces
Now in an upper and lower Hawley retainer.
I saw these a while ago whilst doing some online research as well.
I like the stars; if my ortho offered them I think I'd go them. I'm not too sure if anyone'd notice though, most people don't seem to see the regular braces
I've actually thought about having the stars when I get my tops braced
My ortho is pushing ceramics because he says at my age I don't want full metal surely? But I've always enjoyed being a little off the wall.
He hasn't mentioned the wildsmiles brackets but I know that his suppliers sell them, cause I've looked!
I think star brackets with coloured ligs would look cool.
I can't even bring myself to get colored ligs. Although I think the shaped brackets would be less noticable than colors. If my teeth were bigger I might try them, but as it is now the brackets seem to cover most of my toothies.

I saw those on line too!!! I think they are cute but I would get tired of them. If I could get colored metal though I would be all over it. I would like beautiful black metal braces with rhinestones. Why not? They are expensive enough!!!
I had never seen those WildSmiles until I joined this message board!!
I wouldn't be caught dead with flowers or footballs (GAG) on my teeth but I must admit, if I was given the option of stars, I may have gone all metal. I have a star tattoo (traditional/nautical, not sparkly girly whatever), earrings, etc. so star braces would only be natural!! And they'd look awesome with glow in the dark or even dark metallic ligs!!
maybe I'm just old school, but personally I think that's a little silly and tacky as well :\ like decorating crocs, but that's a whoooooooole other department of accessories.
