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.

Self instigating vs ceramic,  which is more costly?  And which gives the fastest result? 

Whatever a removable appliance can or cannot do, Invisalign works just the about same. It can never fully replace bracers.

In your case, if 'bodily movement' is indicated then Invisalign is not able to produce such movement. to fix bimax malocclusion, extraction of premolars are most usually indicated (to gain space for tipping movements of your teeth), and this aligners cannot keep tooth in it's position well enough during space closure.

Hi,

I was wondering, how much would Invasalign cost. I was a metal braces wearer during my high school days and after years of diligence and pain, i did the stupidest thing every braces-wear should never do - which is to neglect wearing the retainer and when it broke, i didnt get it replaced.

Some time ago, i noticed my teeth moved again =_= so much for wearing braces before! and i'm actually thinking of getting invasalign. All i know it's expensive, but how expensive is expensive? Can someone also recommend me where i should go to get invasalign?

Thanks!

unfortunately my knowledge on Invisalign is very limited to journal publications only.

but I can always consult my other colleagues who are into this product if you ever need any.

just be disciplined and put them on according to the schedule and all will be well!

ahha, 90% of my patients with regular extractions do not even get PCM.

I'm 21 years old Male. My braces journey start on August 2012.

My teeth before braces,

[attachmentid=3465296]
Upper teeth crooked, lower teeth always perfect for me. Somehow in picture look a bit crooked, but my family always say my lower teeth look perfect.

August 2012
Went to the clinic, mold, X-RAY. Dr just tell you lil bit info about your teeth. RM200

September 2012
Consultation RM100, after consultation you have to decide whether you want to have braces or not. If yes, you have to pay deposit. Total cost for braces is  RM6000 including retainer. Doctor put braces on my teeth, there is 4 teeth left without bracket on. This 4 teeth is for extraction. I have crossbite. Doctor told me that I have to wear for 1 1/2 year. Doctor put something at the last teeth which cause me couldn't chew and close my mouth and it's eff pain! I was regret right after I step out from the clinic why I do such stupid decision to torture myself. LOL

October 2012
Extraction left side, RM80 each tooth. upper and lower premolar removed. The reason doctor only extract 1 side is because the another side is for you to eat.

After 2weeks another side.

November 2012
Installment start, I pay RM1600 for deposit so my monthly installment is RM250.

Fast forward to now, MAY
My teeth is a lot straight than before and I feel my face look more define now. lol

Photo of NOW (I know it's gross that my teeth is so dirty and yellow now.. but you will know this after you had your braces that you can't prevent your teeth become yellowish even though you brush zillion time a day.

For the first few month I do have ulcer, but wax really helps a lot. umm... I don't know what else to say.. anything want to know can PM me or ask me here          sorry if I reply late because I'm not active forumer.

Last but not least, I want to thank all the pro and ex-bracesian here that post a lot review and tips at this thread. It really help me a lot!

SORRY FOR MY POOR GRAMMAR!

From what I know is there is no certain period for you to wear retainer, you need to wear retainer forever (every night) to maintain the result. You can google about this. My friend wear her retainer for 6 month then she stop wearing it then her teeth crooked again.. so I think it's better to wear it forever..

Is it ok to eat twisties when you have braces???

Putting on braces painful or not?
