Guardian should have it I thought.... if not then get it your orthodontist clinic.... try to reduce curry/coffee/red wine intake.... not easy to remove stain when you have braces... brush softly but longer duration.... can always go to your regular gp to get the stain remove.....

thank you DrBarbarian!

i saw a youtube vid using baking soda to whiten the teeth, i might try to use it to remove the yellowish stains from the braces

hopefully it works

icic, then how often is the appointment with doctor if taking innovation-c? I'm thinking of doing it but i work outstation most of the time...worry that it will require frequent appointment..

Hi guys, I hv just shifted to subang, staying near subang airport. n I'm thinking to hv braces. Any good recommendation?
I checked out near kd there's a dental clinic named Signature Dental Clinic, does anyone know about their service on braces/orthodontic?

Anyone knows where can I get a retainer cleaner here in Malaysia? Tried ebay and lelong dont have. Amazon doesnt ship to Malaysia...

Caring pharmacy sells...

where exactly?

i have done xray and mold. Just extracted one teeth 2 days ago. Still 2 teeth have to extracted in next appointment plus install a screw in upper jaw..... the dentist never ask me which kind of braces i choose and the price. No consultation at all.....

Anyone have damon braces and at the same time how many tooth has been extracted? i read from damon website it said no extraction needed. but still in malaysia i heard lot of people need extraction with damon braces

mine no need extraction although doc initially said want to extract. I think it depends on the doc's plan on how to do it easier

I usually purchase from Berjaya Times Square but I have also seen it in Publika Caring Pharmacy... not sure about other outlets...

Their marketing is just that good... =P If you read foreign forums dedicated to braces... there is a lot more feedback on it and you will find that a lot of Damon's claims on their website is pretty over-hyped... cause at the end of the day damon is a brand of braces like colgate is a brand of toothpaste...

Now i wonder should i go for Damon braces or traditional braces? since if both required same number of tooth extraction. Anyone can advice?

Don't think there is much of a difference, some people say that self ligating (Damon is a type of this braces) braces are less painful... I have this type but have not tried traditional braces so I can't attest to the claim. Just pick an ortho which you like and are comfortable with because what you want is the skills of the doctor not what type of braces he uses... After all it is just a tool to straighten teeth. pick one and get started!

Btw I just found out that Jaya Grocer in Intermark also sells oral b ortho tooth brushes.

is damon really less painful? how u feel after put on damon braces? becoz damon vs traditional around 3k different in terms of cost. so i'm thinking want choose which one.

nope... no diff for pain and treatment duration.... will ease orthodontist chairside time though.....

Hi all..does anyone can suggest me a good clinic to do damon clear? I hardly find any post regarding this damon clear unlike the metal damon.

i think ceramic braces is what youre looking for?

i think is case dependent, if you have over crowding teeth, with small jaw, then extraction has to be done to accommodate those teeth on the jaw.

already extracted one teeth, this thursday will extract another 2 plus install a button on upper jaw..... but the dentist never ask me want to put which kind of braces, wondering will they ask?
