Yeah, but that is not the final price. i havent negotiate, wanted to know how much should i ask for. i just called several orthodontist (like david ortho, dr low ss2) and on average they quote me RM6000 for the normal braces. I guess the price for braces has gone up recently eh?

Nope. Only for the braces and the treatment starting from the braces installation till removal. I'm doing the extraction and scaling at my company panel clinic so i should be able to save some money there. As for the retainer, she offer me RM700.

Based on my first appointment, i'm comfortable with the orthodontist. She is gentle with my teeth and don't mind explaining things. So i'm going to get my braces on with this ortho. How much is a reasonable price for normal braces currently? mind sharing?

prices depend on location..... some can go up to 10k for the same thing.... and others may charge as low as 4k....

hi..new here
need help..im thinking to wear braces,but dunno how to start..
im from kuantan pahang,anyone knows where can i make it cheap and good services?help needed....
thanks

You can refer to this website for local ortho in your area. http://www.mao.org.my/list-pahang.htm. Give them a call and ask.

thanks..
but will be great if someone can share their experience

yep both adults and kids
I see people in their 30s do it (although not as effective)

really can do it at gov clinic?
how much it cost?

government clinics will not do for pt above 17 years old... that's their policy... unless it's special referral cases....

any recommendation to do it around penang? is it effective for a 21 years old with uneven teeth to do it? usually how long will it take to take it out and roughly how much would it cost? thanks

Yeah you are probably right

ok..
thanks for the info

Can you go to a private clinic instead?
But it would be more expensive right?

yeah..of coz it will be a lot of cost..
im still study where to find that much money

How much are the private ones?
Are you able to locate a cheap one?

dear all..just to share/i just put on my upper part brace yesterday..not really painful as wat i though

would like to check for the orthodontics in Penang.

Dr. Looi's price is around RM4k++ while Prestige Dr Chay's price is RM6k++ (non-damon).

any idea regarding Dr Chay's price is higher?

I'm not sure which doctor I should go for.
Previously I went to both clinics for consultation and I feel Dr Chay's service is more comfortable but the price is quite high.

Thank you.

Beside the Klang library [indian street] there is a govt dental hospital.
RM700 pau kah liao, installment possible.
Waiting list was about 6 years for me though..so u might wanna consider private options

hey... good for you... no ulceration at all??? wow....

good to hear that! just got four of my teeth extracted. i can't wait to get my braces on next week, already made an appointment with my ortho.

Is dr looi a dentist or an orthodontist? normally ortho will charge more since they are a specialist. the price that dr chay asked for is the average price ortho normally quote, read my previous post.
