Just Got Braces

[Aadonira]

Today I got braces, and all I want advice on is what colors will be good to use in bands for the next two years. I am bad at making choices so I would appreciate help. Thanks!

Here's a tip!

Never get white braces or clear braces because they might get stained from food and you have to work extra hard to make sure they're clean.

We started more or less the same time. I was not asked. They gave me clear and one metal ligature tie. They told me next appointment they will be changed to all metal. As my clears are starting to get a color after one day - coffee? - maybe the metal is a option.

I'm getting braces again for the second time on the 29th. I will steer clear of yellow or green colors on my braces. Some people may love those colors, but when my son had braces, I really couldn't stand especially seeing the yellow bands around each bracket ---for the life of me I can't remember what those little bands are called!

Ha! Ligatures. Should have paid more attention to the poster before me for the word.
