Thanks..Actually, I wish they did the bands like in the 70s as these brackets are not as substantial. They do not adhere as much as they need to in some...
Some colors do stain...The lighter the color, the more stain...Even the grey, metallic color gets dingy...I wish they did the metal ties...I did get my top and...

Welcome to the group, Lo! Cannot answer your question, but I do know that my doc does something different all the time. Its quite surpising. Here's to...
My molars aren't connected right now either. He said that he would connect them on my next archwire (( I have archwires instead of bands)) so... they might be...
