How much in India? Locally, if I am not mistaken, should be around 5-8k for complete set of course.

But my suggestion is that, if you will stay abroad for a quite some time (minimum around 15 months), please do it in India, as you will be needing frequent appointment with your orthodontist to align the teeth. Also to ensure your communication between your orthodontist is not an obstacle. Braces is a long treatment plan, and you will be needing to ask quote some questions directly to your doctor.

1k is too cheap

Different cases require different approach. I have to extract 4 of my tooth, while my friend had no extraction at all.

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.

4. 2 upper and 2 lower

Less than 3 months to pull both of my upper canine backward.

But relatively longer for below set of teeth to be pull backward.

Will be married next July, hopefully will complete the whole treatment by then.

It been some times since I last post here. Now my lower teeth already aligned and already started the pulling.

And I will be married with my braces on later this year

On the bright side, braces indeed becoming some kind of fashion nowadays so it should be fine

RM 5k here with the payment of 2.5k for the first visit and small installment from time to time till 5k @ Kedah.

Dr Barbarian,

I am near the final stage of my braces. At the moment, both top and bottom, left and right tooth are having approximately 2mm gap and currently on elastic.

After discussion with my orthodontic (I am in oversea), once the gap is closed, he will put the wire on all the tooth and holding them together for roughly 6 months before removing it and constructing for a retainer.

My question is - is it possible for me to leave my place and return to Malaysia permanently, and continue my treatment at the local orthodontic? Will they accept and continue my current treatment? Because I'd heard most of the dentis won't accept the patient from another orthodontic and advising to re-start the treatment.

Second is IF they accepted to continue my current treatment, roughly, how much will that cost me?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the info.

Do you have any contact of orthodontist located within KL area or close to UPM, that have active Facebook or any mean of communication apart from phone call? So it will be easier for me to have a personal discussion with them since I am yet arrived in Malaysia

Any comment regarding Specialist orthodontist Pristine Dental Centre @ Empire (Dr Praveen)?

May I know if she have any website or email or any form of communication?

Not sure. Maybe different branch? Or one of the orthodontist on that particular branch?

You familiar with him?

Ahh I knew I wanted to asked you something but keep forgetting.

Anywhow, you handle orthodontic cases too, or mainly on oral surgery? I think I read somewhere that you are an oral surgeon.

Most of the emails are not replied by the clinics :\
