Helloooo.. I'm going to be the new member of the braces-carrier family .
It's a very difficult decision for me cos I really afraid of pain but finally decided that the pain is momentary, but the effect is gonna be a lifetime long.

I went to this *Edited, wouldnt recommend this clinic anymore, as I think it's only a so-so clinic*. Very patient n papa-like... even keep telling me "not painful one ah.. dont be nervous" as if I'm a kid lol. Make me embarass nia

Anyway I havent put on the braces, here's my schedules:
1. First visit - Examining the teeth and identifying which teeth needs to be extracted. Xray and taking the mould. Extraction of the first teeth (my case needs four teeth to be extracted T_T) - completed

2. Second visit and third visit - To extracted the remaining three - not completed

3. To install the braces - not completed


Going to be "boh-geh" for few weeks first then only can get the braces put-on.

He quote me RM6K (including all extractions, xray, mould n subsequent follow-ups).
Yes it's Damon

Guys,

My next session would be putting on the separator to spare some gaps between teeth. Its the preparation for the subsequent session for putting on the braces. Anyone has done the separator and any clue if it hurts?

guys.

I finally have my braces on already.

To my surprise, there's no pain AT ALL!! Just some discomfort after wearing (that there's something in the mouth) which the feeling will fade in few days time. Other than that, there's really nothing

However I think as time goes by, it might get very frustrating to wait for the braces to be taken down, cos the duration is really too long.. (2 years man!)

RM6000 for the entire braces treatment (2.5 years)

Has any of u realize ur teeth become more sensitive after u put on the braces? In my case, my teeth become very very sensitive and I got tooth ache sometimes even after drinking water of indoor temperature! But doc said it happens to some people whose teeth move during the braces process.

Anyway it got better after I use the toothpaste for sensitive teeth (but still quite painful sometimes )
