ahh, i see. then that will take long for sure

Had my x-ray and moulding today, but doctor said i need to go through root canal treatment before install my braces...

Actually, what is root canal treatment? Any advice? Cost?

Elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.
It very depends on each individual condition.

Sounds so pain huh...

Guys I've had dental braces about 8 years ago, took it off after two years and has been told to wear my retainers every night since then. The thing is, I stopped wearing it regularly after three years and now I've completely ignored that piece of plastic. Recently, my concern towards the arrangement of my teeth bloomed again, and I've noticed that my right central incisor teeth has moved and that there's a small gap in between both central incisors.

I wanted to start wearing my retainers again, in fact I've wore it last night, and my oh my, it was a very very painful night to go through. My question is, you guys have any tips on starting to wear the retainers again after a long time of slacking off? Perhaps I should wear it a day full for the starting weeks?

it is possible to use your old retainer to close the gaps.... bring it to your orthodontist for adjustment..... after the gap closes, you gotta maintain it by wearing it every night for LIFE.......

Anyone here experiencing the tingling/itchy sensation on the gum on the teeth that already moved from its original place that the sensation made you wanna bite something to relief like a baby that just started to grow his teeth?

What's the price to do braces in KL nowadays? Inclusive of everything.

i have the same problem, no idea what to do.
especially during night...

I am also dunno what to do other than bite on my finger on the particular area

Some articles mentioned about using soft bristle toothbrush and brushing may help, but doesn't seem worked for me.
I just exercise the gums by moving up down and applying light pressure using the tongue

from http://www.livestrong.com/article/180258-w...s-swollen-gums/

Soothe the Gums

Drs. Gardner also note that massaging the gums can relieve swelling and pain. They suggest using a soft toothbrush with no toothpaste to gently massage both gums and teeth for about 30 minutes. Dr. Donnelly suggests rinsing often with a saltwater solution of 1/2 teaspoon salt to a glass of warm water. The saltwater cleans the gums while decreasing inflammation.

I did the same like you, exercise my mouth open close up down left right and tongue the itchy part.
how many long already you with your braces?

going to 4th-month now... my friends asked me to bear with it for 5-9 months.

wow, you are still new. mine is 8th month now.
how much it cost when you install it?

this damon will cost me about: 5,500 +plus extraction, x-ray etc... about 6k

btw, i installed only upper, another few months later, the ortho-doc will install the lower part = i do not want to lose my ability to bite my fav foods...
about 4 months, i have paid 1.7k+250 (x-ray + mold + extraction) +200 (100/month) = 2.1k

how much for you?

where you make it?

My damon alone RM6k liao with RM100/month with upfront rm2.5k plus rm800 mouth guard bcos i hv grinding problem
x-ray rm200
mold rm200 gua
extraction rm1600 gua


why yours so reasonable price one?

Long time didn't enter this thread.

I am currently pulling my upper canine, and both right and left are about 90% pulled backward. After that, the rest of upper teeth should be pull backward as well and those process are usually faster than canine alone; based on my orthodontist.

Meanwhile on the lower part, the canine not even aligned yet. Need to complete the alignment phase first before pulling phase.

Hope can complete the whole process within the next 8-10 months.

How many teeth have you extracted (including wisdom teeth) before starting the pulling? Any space to pull backwards?

only 1 upper tooth was extracted.
i have compared few clinics, and i found this is the most reasonable price

I see. hmm....
Anyway my lower teeth are easier to align than the upper one. It move so so so slow
