Ooh.. do you know which klang dentist charge at half the price??
Wanna do my bracers asap.. getting old =(

Hi ouchie,

I just debrace on monday. Now i'm on retainer period.
Dr reuben is good and attentive. So do Dr Huwaida,the dentist.

Hi RinaArian

since u have just done it, can i just check with you if it is suitable for a lady aged 40+ to go thru the procedure? my aunt wanted to do it since last 2 years but was hesitating, some said it is painful especially if you are older. appreciate your feedback. cos i'll be meeting her this weekend. tks

Hi Jaclynjac,

The oldest patient doing braces i read frm internet is 80+ years old. I guess if the condition of teeth and gum is good braces can be done. You can ask your aunt to get consultation frm orthodontist.

government is cheaper but u'll have to wait for like 3 years (like some) before u get one. but private much better in lots of ways i guess, though it's quite expensive.

Anyone know where can i buy retainer cleaner in kl? Kind of incovenience for me to get it online(so far,i know it's available in us). I'm kind of scared to use polident tablet coz it is said that over time it'll turn the essix retainer yellow. Currently i just soaked it in warm water twice a day

Hi everyone

Do you guys use the small toothbrush to clean in between ur teeths? Like me I just use the big toothbrush that's all. Is it ok?

is it more effective to pluck out teeth for bracing treatment if you have a overbite problem?

because my dentist do not recommend extraction of teeth unless it's really needed.

but my friends who had done braces before (overbite problems as well), strongly recommended me that it would be more effective if the dentist extracts teeth to have a better results after bracing.

the oldest pt I seen was 42 years old lady..... she's pretty happy she went for it(that was few years back)...

if u wana get cheap..then wil recommend government..but really wait kinda long....i had heard tat some wait for 4-5 years..@@ but the price was extremely cheap than outside..can go ask for it in any government clinic...

but if wan fast...private clinic..but really do cost expansive...price depends on the clinic

Just finished extracting my 4th teeth last night. Phew.

Just want to update you on this, the severe pain that last for around 3 days is due to infection of gum. It became inflamed, swollen and having a bad smell.

Once been diagnosed, 3* daily of Flumox conveniently eradicate the infection.

What is the current Pricing of doing Braces right now , Private and Government ??

Thanks

Price depend on clinic and the type of braces(at private clinic). For government not so sure though. Bt i heard people say they only accept patient age 17 years and below. But it also depend on severity of the case(if the teeth not so problematic,i heard govt clinic won't accept it).

Hi,

any recommendation for clinic in Klang area and cost <4K?

hi all.... i'm 28years old now and thinking want to wear braces to correct my teeth, can you all share with me your experience, pros and cons?
price? i google search some bracelet looks transparent and some got metal gold/silver on the teeth... what is the different?

thanks

Anyone did braces due to underbite? Is it supposed to be more painful than normal straightening?

Hi,

The pro are highly depend on your need and allocation of budget, especially when deciding on which one you have to choose (metallic the cheapest, invisible tray is the most expensive). For me age is not really a significant matter, but if you performed this treatment during a younger age, you able to enjoy the result for a longer time

Cons are, if for metallic, the (i) scary thought of removing 4 healthy teeth, (ii) multiple oral ulcer on the first few weeks because your lips are adapting with the metallic bracket and for some (iii) they feel embarassed to going out with braces on their smile. To be honest, I don't think it is that bad, some people tend to think it as a fashion.

Based on a rough survey among my colleague, it mostly about the same.

EDITED
