Any good orthodontic recommend around kl area ?normally how much will cost for Damon braces.

Let me share with you a story about this type of transfer case. The "victim" is my cousin.

The 1st ortho extracted 4 of her teeth and needs roughly 2 years time to remove the braces. But after one year wearing braces, the ortho stopped the biz and migrate to New Zealand.
The 2nd ortho took over the case and said that 2 teeth need to be extracted somemore from his point of view. And he advised my cousin to wear braces for another 2 years. My cousin was like @$#%##%!
But still, she accepted her fate in the end. She only left with 26 teeth now Save toothpaste and save time brushing her teeth

Sometimes, I think our bracing thingy is more like a piece of artwork to ortho, very subjective to determine good or bad. As long as it lets you gain more self confidence after removing braces, for me it's good enough!

Anyway, no need to worry too much about this! It's just a story......

Hi all! I think this question should be raised before but was just wondering whether you guys would share your opinion/experiences on impacted wisdom teeth and braces?

Because I took my braces off 4 years ago and noticed that recently, my lower front teeth are out of 'alignment'. Note that I took out my permanent retainer about a year ago.
I went back to the dentist who did my braces. We took an x-ray and he said that it was due to my growing wisdom teeth. He straight away asked me to extract three of them D:!
Then I went and consulted another dentist, he said that it was not necessary to extract them at all currently and said that impacted wisdom teeth can not cause the teeth to move. He said the reason it moved was due to the removal of my permanent retainers ._.

So guys, your opinion? Should I extract the wisdom teeth or just put on back the permanent retainers?

I also get cut by braces. Put wax also wouldn't help, now I don't border & use to it already.

Im wondering, ive been reading, and did some research.

Damon seems to be the best brand for bracers with comfort, anyone had damons???

I know its expensive, but anything to reduce pain is always a welcome to burn a hole thru my pocket.

Hey guys i have finally decided to get the braces where they fix it behind the teeth. Can someone please tell me the name of this braces and also how much would i have to pay every month. Around how much??? Just need a figure so i can plan better?

I'm 27 and currently using the Damon system.
I used to wear braces, about 3 years ago which were the traditional stainless steel one. I had this done in the UK.
Had it in for 2 years and then had a fixed metal retainer for my lower set of teeth and a plastic removable retainer for the upper set.
I lost my first retainer and it took about 2 to 3 weeks for me to get a replacement that by that time the teeth had moved. Then I became lazy and didn't use my upper retainer most of the time. A couple of months ago my metal wire retainer for the lower set broke and then when the orthodontist (Msian - Subang Orthodontist Specialist) had a look, basically the teeth had moved and she wasn't satisfied with the overall result from my previous braces so I decided to wear the braces again. From her explanation about the different types of braces etc, I thought it would be wise to invest in the Damon braces. She reckoned that I would probably need to wear for 1 year, at most.

Comparing the two types on several aspects:

1. Price - Damon system is definitely more expensive. My total cost is about 10K(including retainers). I'm paying RM2500+RM2500 then the rest by RM700 installments. I also initially inquired about the traditional braces, which were going to cost about RM2500 less, so if you opt for the stainless steel it's RM7500, more or less.

2. Appearance - Honestly, I think they look about the same, but with the Damon system, there is no rubber band fitted around the brackets so I guess you don't need to worry about the discolouration of the band or the wire coming out etc.

3. Pain/discomfort - Much the same. I normally eat soft food for the first 2 to 3 days. Pureed food, soups, porridge and after those first few days your teeth will function like normal and you can eat your usual meals. Always avoid nuts, chewing gum, biting into a whole apple or other fruits. Same rule applies to both, in fact maybe to all types of braces.

4. Overall effect/wearing time - This I cannot comment yet because I have only started wearing the Damon braces and I would think that even if I was wearing the same type of braces, there would still be the proficiency of the orthodontist to take into consideration hence it might vary with a different 'operator'. However, according to my orthodontist and what I've read, it could effectively reduce your wearing time by 6 months compared to traditional braces.

Sorry this was a bit lengthy but just sharing my experiences and thoughts. Hope it's useful!

BTW, I kinda like wearing braces. Anyone feels the same?

Hi All,

I am thinking of getting a braces. Any recommendation for PJ area or KL that is near PJ?

I actually need something fast not too visible if possible. Too old for people in start asking and pointing fingers at. Budget less than RM10k.

Anyone can advise on lingual/concealed/invisible braces? cheaper?

Was thinking of getting an invasilign but was shocked by the price of RM16k.

Thanks.

Guys about damian braces i read that this one, you have to visit the dentist just once after a couple of months bcs damian braces wire will tighten automatically? But the normal braces have to visit dentist once a month? Is this true???
