Hahaha, can't help but laugh at all the posts . . .

Anyways . . . I'm 28F and I've been wearing braces for exactly 6 months and 2 days (Yes, I keep count).

I'm getting mine done in Taman Tun. The place is called Sarah Orthodontic and its somewhere between Pizza Hut and Bank Islam (or near Mohsin if you are familiar with TTDI). Very friendly people there and IMHO very experienced too.

Price? RM 4000 for metal braces or RM 6000 for ceramic ones. You pay 50% up front and the rest in 10 months installments. You also have to pay additional RM300 in the beginning for the xrays and they also make mouldings of your teeth. If you only want to do one row of teeth then its half of the overall price (makes perfect sense right?).

I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend who has a cousin who did her braces at UH and she had to wait 2 years! No thank you, I rather pay than wait 2 years.

And here is my experience as an "older" person wearing braces - its not that bad and its hardly painful at all. Sure, it takes some time getting used to and yes my teeth gets a bit sore after every adjustment, but after a while I don't even think about it anymore.

Why am I wearing braces at this age? I'm getting married next year and my future husband has got BEAUTIFUL teeth!!! But now he doesn't want to kiss me anymore and he keeps calling me metal mouth!!
