Hi

Installed my braces yesterday at whitesmile berjaya times square. the process is really painless! except the fluid (used for washing?) kinda entered my throat and the taste is really not nice

anyway, i couldnt bite properly cuz when i try to fully bite, my left upper molar tooth will hit the bottom bracket. so i cannot bite fully/chew at all! is this normal?

grey = molar tooth
black = the bracket

The bracket is preventing your normal way of biting, but the way you bite is not right.. just wait for the braces to fix your teeth alignment.

Can you go to work the day after putting on braces? I mean does it hurt so bad it bother your daily routine.?
*
first time put on braces, i can't chew at all for about 10days then ok already. doesn't really affect daily routine. but feels weird with the metals inside your mouth lol. after a month or so already used to it feels like nothing there (kinda like part of your mouth already)
but at first sure got ulcers here and there cry.gif

after each appointment for retightening, expect 2-3day discomfort then fine already

It been some times since I last post here. Now my lower teeth already aligned and already started the pulling.
And I will be married with my braces on later this year sweat.gif

On the bright side, braces indeed becoming some kind of fashion nowadays so it should be fine laugh.gif

wahh congrats mang thumbup.gif

yeah, recently my doc have applied power chain for upper and lower teeth which comes with many colours to choose from rclxm9.gif
didnt know that damon braces also can put coloured rubber (in this case, put power chain)

i chose light blue and it looks nice thumbup.gif

are the brackets detached from your teeth? if so, u need to tell your doc to fix it, usually FOC

I've did Damon braces and already removed it. I think I've overbite now. But my doctor says my teeth alignment is perfectly fine. Planning to find another doctor's opinion.

Currently, I'm using clear plastic retainer (wears day and night, sometimes night only), but this retainer quality is very bad although I took good care of it. It cracks / breaks after 1 to 2 months of wearing. Each pair costs me RM400. It's not sustainable for me to make a new pair every month. I don't like Hawley retainer because it is very uncomfortable to wear and my saliva keeps flowing like waterfall.

Any ortho to recommend me? So far my friends recommended:
1) Parkcity Dental @ Desa Parkcity
2) Dr. Wong at SS2, beside Public Bank
3) Esteem Dental

Whitesmile at times square?

btw if hawley is already uncomfortable to you then the braces itself how leh? ohmy.gif

Anyone have damon braces and at the same time how many tooth has been extracted? i read from damon website it said no extraction needed. but still in malaysia i heard lot of people need extraction with damon braces
*
mine no need extraction although doc initially said want to extract. I think it depends on the doc's plan on how to do it easier

I'm using damon system, but I would suggest you to put on the traditional one. In term of period needed for the teeth to be align. Mine needed 3 years plus to complete, where else my friend whom did a traditional one only wear it like 1 year plus. It quite a huge different, pay more for damon yet need to wear it longer. sweat.gif
*
im on damon and wearing since sept 2013

going to debond next month rclxm9.gif so that's like 1.5years total!

so i guess it varies with people depending on their case nod.gif
