why regretted? mind to tell me?
i am getting the braces from one of the clinic in KL also

Because the braces were not putting on the suitable place on the tooth, the bite always hit the bracket. Causing it to drop so frequently and not it doesn't stick so well already. I wonder if it's a common problem in orthodontics.

so damon bracing is better than invisalign and other normal type of braces.any in sunway offer this?is sunway medical centre good?and from a taiwan TV show i watched earlier this yr, there are some braces that need to be taken off so that you can eat.

pikeydude : i guess thats quite common. since most of the ppl will face this prob. at least from what i heard.
ryan18: its not braces but retainer isnt it?

research showed that Damon is as effective as any other type of braces... duration of treatment is the same...

Oh... and I had the idea otherwise. Maybe it's all the just the marketing gimmick. But for Damon, there's less chance of tooth extraction, the pain from the monthly screw tightening and discomfort from the rubber band?? But I have to agree is almost 1/3 more expensive than normal braces.

Anyway, I'm wearing Damon braces.

@LovingDae "pikeydude : i guess thats quite common. since most of the ppl will face this prob. at least from what i heard."

I doubt it is common since I never replaced my brackets before for two years. My teeth never hit the brackets either.

I wore ceramic brackets.

it's not common....

no.. i dun think so.
The dentist should stick and bracket nicely and make sure they're helps the movement effectively.
Else will delay the treatment time, you better talk to your dentist.

i did my braces at PPUM 4 years back and paid 2k for it and took it off almost 2 years ago. anyway, i'm here bcos i want to know where i can get my new retainers done other than PPUM since both of my orthodontist are not there anymore (one in UK and another in Sabah). also how much should i expect to pay for a new set?

pikeydude, mind to share where did you get yours? How's the price and payment method? Interested on Damon braces as well.

Hello...
I would like to ask anyone here had tried iSmile in SS2... ?

I am planning to put on braces too...
but i'm not sure which clinic provide good services with affordable price...
can anyone suggest me some good clinic... ?
I live in puchong...
prefer clinic that located near my place... (Subang,PJ,KL)

I paid MYR 3800 for traditional braces treatment, MYR 250 for X-ray and dental mold at Looi Orthodontic Clinic. MYR 110 for teeth extraction at an unknown dental clinic.

My teeth before orthodontic treatment were well-arranged, but I had an overbite. Braces do help me in correcting my teeth structure, look better at least.

I'm taking them off very soon.

Hi all.I wish to use braces cuz my teeth are uneven but im not so sure pulak if i can or cant pronounce some alphabets correctly cuz my course right now doesnt require me to take MUET.My friend just recently install her braces cuz last time when she was doing MUET,her lecturer told her that she cant pronounce 'S' well.

Anyway,i just want to know if there's any drawbacks from wearing braces.cuz from what i heard,u have to wear retainers for the rest of your life?is that true?and my mum said i will be toothless faster (compare to my peers) when i'm old cuz they hv to take out some of my teeth out to install the braces.

retainer for life is true but you only put them on at night when you sleep.... toothless part is not true...

Retainer for life? Oh,now only I know,so you only need to wear them at night when you sleep?

But one of my fren,he just took out his braces,now his teeth very straight,but he's wearing retainers even during the day,why so?

yes retainer should b for lifetime.
u can choose to wear it anytime u wan, but most people prefer jz wear it at night, u wouldnt want ppl look at ur retainer right?
i wore the retainer for a year n stopped, now the teeth moved abit, i'm so regret to not wear it consistently

There is permanent retainers where you do not have to put on and off all the time.

I had my braces removed mid of the year and since then I have always been wearing my 'traditional' retainers at night. Although I was advised by the orthodontist to wear it day+night. So far so good, no major teeth movement.

The reason why I do not wear them on day time is because I eat 5 meals a day. Imagine putting in on and off~

you will need to have the retainer on 24hrs a day for the 1st year after debonding.... after that it's nite time only.....some ppl are more prone to relapse if they din put on the retainer...

Oh I see,thanks for clarifying.

I used to think that after taking out the braces,wear the retainer for a while,then can already Turns out that must wear it for life

But it's worth it,just for that nice smile I oso gonna wear braces soon,too bad that we must wear braces,dun have natural nice teeth
