hehe my two front tooth also uneven. like rabbit teeth but maybe I'll do or not... not sure... i just wanna save the money. XD How much is it nowadays? for only upper part... I meant overall and and the first instalment..

I just knew that teeth braces at my study place is only less than RM 4k (LE 5,500) and the quality is like 8-10k in Malaysia.

Not to mention all the complication from the process are fully included within the payment.

not sure bout the price now but mine was almost 3 yrs back...only for the braces RM 4.8k..not including x ray..extractions...etc...

wow thats better then. XD

You can put on braces if you have limited budget too. Go for gov sector. Or else you can try Dr How Bangsar where you can pay by instalment.

But u just need to pay RM 2000 when they put on the braces. The balance RM 2800 can pay monthly to them everytime when u go for check up. RM 100 or RM 150 or any amount each visit until u finish up the RM 2800

I'd heard it will be years of waiting list till reaching your turn.

Hey peeps. I have severe rabbit teeth, and had my very first appointment with Dr. Wong Tuck Yong, an orthodontist at SS2 Petaling yesterday. I thought it was a "he" because of her name. Well.. she was amazingly friendly and humorous, not to mention she had 35 years of experience. After checking through my teeth, she explained thoroughly what she would do with my teeth. She explicated the advantages and disadvantages of the 5 types of braces she had.

Lingual braces - RM16000

Gold - ? (nobody did this at her clinic before so she couldn't tell the price)

Ceramic - RM8000

Damon - RM6000

Traditional (metal colour/ colourful) - RM4800 (including X-ray, mouding, photos, extractions, braces and a set of retainer)

She told me since I'm still young, opting for the traditional braces would be a better choice. She said, Damon braces have the self-ligating system and thus, it'll cause much less pain and discomfort compared to the traditional ones. But they're also more expensive. Hmm..

Four teeth of mine have to be extracted before the installment of braces. They're all premolars. Extraction of two teeth will be done one week before another extraction of two teeth. One week after the second extraction, I'll have my braces on! I was kind of surprised to hear that as I thought I'd have to wait for at least a month for the wound to heal after the extractions. Yet she told me she can't extract my teeth too early as she needs to fit my teeth into the "holes" and if I do the extractions too early, it'll be hard to move my teeth into the "holes". A wisdom tooth may have to be extracted four months after the installment of braces if she can't make it straight (senget one)

First payment will be RM2000, and RM100 for every monthly visit. I'll be having my braces for 2.5 years. Gonna turn 20 soon after my braces are taken off. Still young, right?

Just sharing my experience with y'all here. Anyway I'd have to wait until April to have my braces on due to NS. Much thanks to her though, for helping me write a letter to JLKN so that I can change from batch 2/3 to batch 1. Sincerely hope I'd receive letter from JLKN soon, telling me the place I'd go.

Four months more! Can't wait for my braces.

--------------------------------------------

By the way, I've been in the waiting list of Klinik Pergigian Klang for 3 years and 1.5 month. Have been waiting from Form 2 until now, finishing my Form 5. Not gonna wait anymore. Good luck for those who wish to get braces from a government clinic!

Anyone go for Damon braces (self ligating system)? Will it cut your inner lip when chewing?

i was very happy with dr reuben at whitesmile. A lot of orthodontist say need microimplant, surgery. Some even say cannot treat. But i think dr reuben is the best. I can post b4 and after picture. He really care for patient. I heard he got training UK, Australia and Korea. I didn't think international standard exist locally. My treatment can see difference at EVERY single visit. Be careful with other orthodontist in Malaysia. They just want money !!!!!

Do you guys hear clear align before? I just get to know it not long ago, it said to be quite same with braces
Anyone in Malaysia who did that?

Dr Reuben was trained in Aussie..... 95% of the orthodontists in Malaysia are trained in overseas.... only recently local unis started producing ortho specialists.....

Dr Wong is good.... but her waiting list is until after cny....

I went to several orthodontist before. But i was happy with Dr reuben's explanation. I had an open bite, and all the other orthodontist says that needs microimplant or surgery, but I don't want, so he says will try something else. I think he used something called MIOW or MEAW (sounds like a cat). It works very well and I am very happy with the result...

Hello dear all..planning to get my braces soon..what diff between traditional braces and Damon braces ..

Go google to look for more details...
In brief, traditional braces uses ligature and rubber... damon braces uses the new technology (self ligating) which is much better than traditional braces...

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

Damon braces (Self-ligating braces) should around 5k -15k depending on metal/ceramic/gold/lingual etc...
I have asked around for awhile. . and it seems there is a standard price...

Go google search or read this forum to check for the orthondist near your area ...
It is best to look for the one near your area because you need to visit him/her regularly though out the treament period. ..
Set an appointment with the orthondist... He/she should be able to suggest what is the option for your treatment. .. Then only you will know the cost. ..
