My experience with braces is a pleasant one. When I was in form 2, I had braces done, its called the Damon brand. Only need 1 tooth to be extracted, unlike my friends who need 2/3/4. After injection, no pain, and felt nothing! So fast the tooth extract already.

After putting on my braces for 1st time, then the pain comes. Cannot bite, LITERALLY! Even upper teeth hit lower teeth will be painful

But that pain last only for 1 week, so ok la, after a week, I can eat like normal. Except cannot bite hard stuff.

Every month gotta go visit the dentist for tightening. Many people say its a hell-ish experience, but for me nope... Not pain also? After tighten a bit pain, but I can still eat like normal also.

And Damon braces result damn fast, Form 2 put on, Form 4 end year take off. so only 2 years!! and my teeth is straight as ruler until today. I am 18 now.

Hope my experience helped alot of you facing dilemma. Different people will face different experience. So this is mine. Indeed i actually MISS having braces than I am without them.....

I have friends who's done it since he's 13 and hasn't taken it off till he is Form 4, be thankful.
Also depends on teeth condition.
U have a device to straighten ur teeth so why complain?

Mahkota Medical Centre @ Melaka.

Look for Dr Kok Yin Fun.
