For those who looking to do the teeth bracelet (orthodonist, thanks Mod for the spelling thumbup.gif ), i think the age is kind of a factor too, as when you are younger, it is better to have the teeth bracelet done other than at late 20's or 30's. This is just my personal point of view lar..... I had mine done at the age of 15~16 and it took me about 18 months to fully take it out. So if you ask me now at the age of 25 go to do the bracelet. I will not do it for the beauty, but if do it for the health of your teeth as the bad arrangement of your teeth will deeply effect your teeth health, because it will tend to have holes everywhere.

I did mine back in Sabah around year of 1997 and i'm freaking sure it is rm500 or maybe less like rm300. It would not hit over rm1k.

yes yes... you are true, i place my appointment for 3 years before they called me up to start doing the teeth. Place at form 1 (initially i never know what the heck is this and i just follow my coursin sister to place the appointment.) They only started to call me when i was on form 4. I think that's why it costed me RM500, or 300 only. Wait for 3 years long.

all i can say about the orthodontist treatment is "pain". No joking and it is freaking pain for the first time wear the bracelet the first week, i was not able to eat a tofu either for the first time. And if you accidentally bite your own lips, the inner skin of your lips will be wide open up like cutting through by meat blender. I still the remember the taste of blood and the amount of blood coming out of my mouth.

you a girl?

as far as i know, first day i couldnt give a damn about the pain eat every damn thing. even after tightening still..ok. so in my whole 3 years of wearing braces i eat everything, resulting to a few extra trips to repair it. you cant eat toufu? damn must be serious or you need to start being more pain tolerant.

the only irritating part is when the braces accidently cuts you, from sports or what soo ever. it hurts like mad for a while but the latter blood taste in your mouth really sucks. but never like the way you claim to be wei, most even after a sharp elbow to the jaw i get a swollen lip for a couple of days and well minor bleeding.

you dont feel the pain? That's why you need to wear 3 years, mine done in 1.5 years. Imagine that you accidentally bite your lower inner lips and you lips get stuck and mix together with the bracelet and let the bracelet scar there. LOL!

Each time my braces got tightened, at nite sure pain as you feel the tension in yr teeth. Few days later only gone.
But the most irritating thing is, sometimes there this piece of wire thats scraping yr mouth, can cause ulser man.
Besides, never eat noodles or foods that can twirl around yr braces. this includes chewing gum!

wah..... dare you eat the chewing gum with the bracelet on.... sweat.gif

After the braces, I had a retainer on. And forgot all abt it and ate a chewing gum right before dinner! I was outside, so no where to simpan my retainer, so i had to use my tongue to scrap off those gums...and then...no choice, had my dinner, with that mint taste in my mouth...sukest dinner i ever had!  icon_question.gif
Yep. I have me a nice beautiful girlfren, if not for my braces!  laugh.gif Took me 3 over years, and not a single appointment missed. My teeth was just too darn hard. Anyhow, that was 10 years ago. The doc is still around, and...was suppose to go back every 6 months for dental checkup..which I FFK! haha

hey, do your teeth will out run their places? i got mine run a bit by a bit, the lower part retainer i lost it (i think my stupid coursin took it and play and lost it, i guess vmad.gif ) So now only got the upper retainer. My previous teeth also because of the front right side teeth started to turn 45 degress. So now my teeth got the sign of turning a bit. I done mine was about 7 years ago.

Hmm, nope..all in place. I think u need to go back to yr doc again.

My lower teeth still have this wire stuck to it, at the back

By right, i should have remained consistent in seeing the doc, but i got lazy once when my upper set of teeth got straightened out.

Guess i should make a visit again.

mine had been long time never see the doctor, maybe years. Anyway do you know what is the amalgam removal?

Any of you guys here know where can do the amalgam removal and how much will it cost for each teeth? I want to replace my amalgam refill with composite.

Did mine at RM300 nett. Waited for 2 years (wait at form1 and started at form 3). Every month needs to go back for tightening and adjustment. Done in 18 months time.

Is it true that now they have this program for kids? The doctor will plan for the teeth the way it grow, in the way that they will take out some of teeth and do some adjustment with braces. But all these done when the kids are still very young age with the initial teeth (gigi susu). So after proper arrangement on the initial teeth, the rest of the adult teeth will grow out naturally? Because i personally saw my friend's teeth, and her teeth is SUPERB SUPERB beautiful, and perfectly symmetry without any flaws, as if like in the cartoon or comic. I consider mine near perfect and kind of look fake. But after saw hers, i feel like i should redo the braces again. Again, hers cost a big bomb, i think around rm7000~8000 at 10~15 years back, she is a rich kid anyway.

Any of you heard of this before?
