QUOTE(AjiAjo @ Jun 12 2012, 11:03 PM) I am wearing damon ceramic now. Damon is a product name which is self-ligating braces. They are other brand like 3M which also provide the self-ligating braces. Self-ligating braces is a new technology compare to rubber metal braces (The conventional one).. Rubber metal braces will required more frequent visits for adjustment compare to self-ligation braces (4-6weeks once). However. the duration of treatment will be shorter for self-ligation braces as compare to conventional braces.. . There is also many review that self-ligating braces is more comfortable ... I heard there are Damon 2 and 3. And Ceramic is a different thing which ppl only get to see 1 wire line across and is not quite visible. Is that true? Really hope to get something that is not too visible. How long would be the whole process? Thanks.

QUOTE(Berry pig @ Jun 16 2012, 03:53 PM) i am wearing braces right now. i heard that after some time ur teeth will move if u dun always wear the retainer. may i know the teeth is just move a bit or what? coz i spent 4k in doing the braces and it is quite pricey. if after finish wearing the braces and the teeth arrangement change , it really not worth to pay so much but the result just temporarily. so i want to know what do u all mean by the teeth will move. thank you Yep your teeth will move. To ensure you keep your perfect bite & smile you should wear your retainers for 6 months on a full time basis after your braces come off. After that you'll be advised to wear it every 2nd night for the..rest of your life if you wish to maintain that same bite. It may seem annoying, but it's worth it I reckon. Teeth are one of the first things people notice about you, good oral hygiene is extremely important. They can make or break someone's face. I wore braces for 2 years when I was 16. Cost $5000-6000 AUD. I wrote smart-clips, which are self litigating braces. My teeth were pretty good to begin with, but I had a slight overbite. I dislike ceramic braces cos they look like giant saliva globs.

Hi. Just had my braces on. I chose the Ceramic over Metal brackets (not sure what brand though), and was going crazy with the ties (so many colours to choose from). Doc gave me this Dental Wax (to put on the brackets should I have ulcers nearby) and a Toothbrush after the appointment. At first, I'm supposed to have 4 of my teeth plucked out but due to the complication that comes from my wisdom teeth, but Doc gave me another option - to put on the spacer, wear braces, and to have wisdom teeth surgery :| (which I just heard from friends that it may cost RM1k+ per tooth!) Is that normal? Braces first and surgery later? Eating food, gonna be my biggest problem of them all. I can hardly chew, can feel slight chill and pain when using the teeth. Gonna observe my 2nd day now @Double_Ace: Usually the clinic will be able to give you a Time Slip for your appointment. My first visit, took 2 hours+ I think it will take lesser than that in the near future.. I think la..

If u are so afraid of losing any tooth, then just dont do it larh... Maybe u have crowded teeth so u are forced to extract some of the teeth.. Its compulsory larh dude.. I extracted 4 teeth for my braces.. No pain at all..

What happens when i get older and start losing more teeth? You can have a look at my teeth at page 26.

Just save up ur money for your wedding larh.. And in order to gain something, u must sacrifice something. We all lose our teeth when we are old.
