There are several ways of tiring wire ties, and the main differences relate to whether the wire tie is being used to hold the archwire (in the same way as a ligature used round all the points of a bracket), or instead being used to put pressure on the archwire in a particular way. I've recently met ortho's who use only wire ties. This does appear to be mostly about personal preference, and something you need to discuss with your ortho Blondii.
As I wrote in a previous post, silver is a good colour, unless you frequently eat yellow staining foods, as then they don't take long to turn silver a strange fluro green/yellow.
