:) Yea! 17 more days until I get my spacers and 24 days until I am braced!!! I can't wait! Time is going more quickly now. I'm really eager to get this process going. I go on Oct. 17th for my Case Review and Spacers....then on the 24th for the brackets. I will beginning with just braces on the upper. They will add the lower ones later after my overbite is corrected some.

I'm going with traditional metal brackets because they are cheaper. I think I want my ligs to be teal and pink. Do you think these two colors will stain???

Congrats on starting your journey! Any idea how long your "sentence" will be?

I can't comment on the lig colors since I have Damon's. But that color combo sounds really pretty! The colors of the southwest, my favorite place on the planet!

Depends what shade of pink you get (I don't know about teal as not had those yet) but light pink can stain.
After I ate a stir fry with turmeric in it my light pink ligs turned a lemon kinda colour. But it didn't look too bad, just they weren't pink.

I had hot pink and teal ligs (I posted a pic in the lig colors pics a few months ago) and they didn't stain! :)
