I wish I could have purple powerchains. Clear is just too staining which leavese.no choice but to go with dark grey... I ask if I can order different colors but their excuse was not many people want it. Sorry for the rant here

You can order different colors and bring them in with you; only problem would be which size chain your ortho would need to use; short, long, or continuous. Maybe order one of each in colors you like?

I didn't get a choice of colours my ortho had already put clear ones on, after 2 weeks I have found that certain foods (butter chicken curry and lettuce) have stained them but it has brushed out after unless im just getting used to the slow staining of them! Im soon to be starting teacher training so im not as brave as everyone else to have fabulous colours however does anyone have any suggestions for a hint of colour that doesn't stain - like you'd have to be up really close to notice it was coloured???

Pearl and Aqua

Clear on top, light blue and light purple on the bottom. I think it looks better in person!

Got mine changed today, I now have pale pink ligs and light gray powerchains - mostly to match some of the colors in the dress I'm wearing for my brother's wedding in two weeks

Any new ligs out there? I go in next week and thinking about a color change. Any new ones for the end of summer?

I got a pretty blue this time. I might go for top and bottom colored ligs my last few weeks of treatment!

I got purple powerchains at my last adjustment! I am going to pick a different color next time but I can't decide. I want something brighter because you can't really tell the color of these unless you're right up in my mouth with a flashlight haha. Maybe blue or pink!

My first set of colors! Pink and blue. The pink is a bit brighter irl, but my camera is derpy it seems, haha.

I got teal powerchains! I think next time I'm going to get one color on top and another color on the bottom. I really like this color... maybe keep this color on top and hot pink on the bottom

I'm old (ish), so have always tried being discreet and had tooth coloured ligs. However, they are great until you have a curry or something with heavy tomato in it! My first ajustment since surgery they just put in silver (bottom arch only) and no staining at all! Don't really look much different either!

I've still got surgical wire on my top arch, but going for an ajustment this week, so may just go silver all the way now. Or may be brave and choose a dark colour

I have yellow on top and orange below for now! Quite liking it (:

My first set: white & teal.

Not a fan of white, but love the teal.
I don't think my ortho's office has pearl or smoke, which I'd be interested in trying for my uppers. I think I'll try clear (on uppers) next.

I got new ligs way earlier than expected due to a bracket coming off. The teal totally matches my hair, and I love it.

I love that teal! It kind of reminds me of the smurfs, but in a good way haha.

I loved the teal, but I went with more neutral colors this time.
Clear and silver.
The clear ligs make my teeth look oddly dull and yellow.
On the plus side, you can barely tell I have braces in pictures. It took my friends a while before they realized I got braces.
I'll probably stick to this color combo for the time being.
