It's for self ligating metal. I thought average for self ligating is about rm6-6.5k or the price has gone up?

Anyway i don't know how's braces gonna change my face, arch and smile. Expecting slightly more gummy smile from what I've heard from post bracer water(i have slight gummy smile now) and class 1 crowding(canine tooth protrude).

And dr recommend taking out 4 tooth, 2 upper 2 lower. And luckily my wisdom teeth are good, no need to extract it. I wonder if they will put braces as well on wisdom teeth. Only small part of it showing. But then again most of my side teeth(molar etc) doesn't seems to be showing much and hidden in my gum, or is it supposed to be that way? I hope that i won't require gum removal for side of teeth

Same case as yours. My self-ligating costs me Rm8k, wisdom tooth so far still ok (no need to extract yet)

Clear or metal? Actually i haven't put on braces yet, will be put on tomorrow. I told them i want metal, and they say that ceramic is more expensive and if it break it will be hard to replace(supply issue or somethinf with them). They say that for metal they can replace for free

Metal, I had one of the bracket broke then they changed it for free

How long have you been wearing it btw? Is your case crowding or too much space/gap?
*
Should be approximate 6 months already. Mine was due to a baby tooth and I don't wanna do tooth implant.

U mean that your teeth are not straight or rotated due to baby tooth?

The extraction of the tooth left a gap in my teeth so the adult teeth will definitely move. Dentist gave me either implant or braces.

I took the latter since I have 2 big front tooth so might as well fix all at once

Oh i see. Btw just put on upper braces today, metal. Didn't think it's quite noticeable as it's silver, and compared to ceramic i don't think it would be much more obvious compared to them. 

Btw, does that mean you only remove 1 tooth? Are you not worried the possibility of not symmetrical teeth alignment? Since you won't have same number of teeth on each side

Removed one then need to remove 3 more sad.gif

Oh damn. Is yours second class crowding? I think mine can be fixed by shaving some part of the teeth to create space but not sure if they willing to do it

First degree only but still need to 2 teeth to accommodate the front 2
