Let me share with you a story about this type of transfer case. The "victim" is my cousin.

The 1st ortho extracted 4 of her teeth and needs roughly 2 years time to remove the braces. But after one year wearing braces, the ortho stopped the biz and migrate to New Zealand.
The 2nd ortho took over the case and said that 2 teeth need to be extracted somemore from his point of view. And he advised my cousin to wear braces for another 2 years. My cousin was like @$#%##%!
But still, she accepted her fate in the end. She only left with 26 teeth now thumbup.gif Save toothpaste and save time brushing her teeth rclxm9.gif

Sometimes, I think our bracing thingy is more like a piece of artwork to ortho, very subjective to determine good or bad. As long as it lets you gain more self confidence after removing braces, for me it's good enough!

Anyway, no need to worry too much about this! It's just a story......

Frankly speaking, we don't care about her feeling at all hmm.gif

And she herself also doesn't care about how many teeth left now. The main issue is she extended the duration of wearing braces - problem in kissing with bf!

And I don't know why, I just felt a bit awkward to smile or laugh when I was wearing braces. sad.gif

But it is over NOW!!! rclxm9.gif

Hi thanks for sharing the story, do you happen to know is by changing ortho half way like that will the price also be double or about tthe same??

For my cousin case, she transferred herself to another ortho within the same town, and normally the market price within the same town is compatible, she only tops up around RM 500 ++ for that, package basis with monthly instalment. But the 2nd ortho do requested her to go for new X-ray.

If change from Penang to KL, no comment on it.

Let say if you only need another 6 months to remove braces, why not just bear with the travelling distance a bit? Take AirAsia icon_rolleyes.gif
