QUOTE(drift1king @ Oct 14 2006, 01:50 PM) I am wearing braces now just turned 23M. I started wearing it first week of May this year. I am only expected to wear it for 12-15 months so just another 6-9 months to go. wow I am doing mine at Teh Orthondontics with Dr. Teh Leok Hui. It is at Desa Sri Hartamas. Cost is RM3000+ for metal braces and RM5000+ for asthetic braces. I go for the asthectic braces paid half up front and RM200 every visit for adjustment. Other cost is RM200 for moulding and x-ray and later another RM700 for the retainer once the braces is taken out. I also took out all 4 of my wisdom tooth before I started the braces treatment, which I did with Dr. Ling at The Bouelavard ner Mid Valley, 4 wisdom tooth cost RM3200 with Intravenoues Sedation. My experience so far, first 2 weeks after the braces is put in is not so comfortable, and might have trouble eating. But after that life is normal, I EAT EVERYTHING dun care. I broke my braces twice have to go back and glue back. That was 3 months ago. After re-glue back twice never happen again. Even during adjustment for me only pain during dinner time that day. So it is no problem at all. I am glad I did it.   Added on November 27, 2008, 11:15 pmi took out 4 of my wisdom teeth less than rm500 This post has been edited by advanced: Nov 27 2008, 11:15 PM |

Hi,
as far as i know, only MyDentist clinic in Jalan Ipoh, KL offers Invisalign system in Malaysia. The dentist(s) are required to attend training before they are allow to perform the procedure. Other dental clinics do offer but they 'sub' the construction to them. Checkout the website www.mydentist.com.my And yes, its more costly than conventional metal braces. But the appearance is really astounding. No one will realise u r wearing one unless he/she kisses u. but then, by that time he/she probably won't mind u r wearing one, right?  And for the ceramic braces, u will still be able to see the metal part. the main titanium wire cannot be replaced so ther'll still be a line of metal across ur teeth. Only the metal brackets r changed to colourless (or tooth-coloured) ceramics. So u'll be appearing as though u r wearing the retainer... |

The "rubber bands" are known as elastics and they put further pressure and move the teeth in a slightly different direction which the wires (called the archwire) on their own wouldn't be able to do.Added on December 15, 2008, 2:19 pmBy the way, the Government clinics charge RM 750 for braces This post has been edited by kristy: Dec 15 2008, 02:19 PM |

those who wants to do braces, do not waste your time waiting on the government list -.-" i first registered my name on the waiting list during mid year 2008 (i was 14). I was called back to 'ukur gigi' last february and when my mum asked how long for the next appointment the nurse said a year.
tired of waiting, my parents decided to go do at private clinic. Had 4 pre-molars extracted. Each tooth costs rm50. Overall is rm5000++ so now i'm a brace-face for approximately 3 week. Gonna go to my first tightening next week. kinda scared -.-" my orthodontist is really gentle to me so no "extreme" pain just a bit soreness |

Did mine at RM300 nett. Waited for 2 years (wait at form1 and started at form 3). Every month needs to go back for tightening and adjustment. Done in 18 months time.
Is it true that now they have this program for kids? The doctor will plan for the teeth the way it grow, in the way that they will take out some of teeth and do some adjustment with braces. But all these done when the kids are still very young age with the initial teeth (gigi susu). So after proper arrangement on the initial teeth, the rest of the adult teeth will grow out naturally? Because i personally saw my friend's teeth, and her teeth is SUPERB SUPERB beautiful, and perfectly symmetry without any flaws, as if like in the cartoon or comic. I consider mine near perfect and kind of look fake. But after saw hers, i feel like i should redo the braces again. Again, hers cost a big bomb, i think around rm7000~8000 at 10~15 years back, she is a rich kid anyway. Any of you heard of this before? This post has been edited by iDk: Mar 16 2009, 03:58 AM |

I had my braces done last year around June and the result is AMAZING! My teeth naturally are lesser than normal ppl..(my upper part: usually normal ppl got 4 gigi kacip but i only have 2 and the other 2 look exactly like gigi taring but that 2 were pulled out and never grow any since then..so,that area were empty)To summarize it, on the left : gigi kacip follow by empty space then only gigi taring and the rest...it`s same on the right...
I have a question here...My upper teeth got 2 gaps, 1 on the right the other 1 on the left...all other parts very close to each other d(can say ok d) just left that 2 gaps..i maybe need to go overseas to pursue my education this coming July or end of June. Is there any way to make the tightening process faster and cheaper? My dentist told me he can do a bridge, if not mistaken..to make the pulling process faster but it costs me around RM2 700...sigh...every month i see got improvement la..the gaps getting smaller and smaller..but i scared the gaps wont be entirely closed by June..any idea how??? Thanks smile. |

I did my braces in 2006 when I was in Form 1 due to overbite. I opted for the Damon System Self-Ligating Braces which cost about RM5000 total but my dad's company covered the cost.
Every month will go for checkup and tightening as well snipping off the 'extra wire' that is left after your teeth aligns itself closer and closer. Had only 2 premolars extracted! Braces are removed last year when I was Form 3. Results are satisfying! http://www.damonbraces.com/ |
