i've only been to one orthodontist so far.
5k for metal 7k for ceramic
a bit high right? i read this whole thread already.. are ceramics still superior aesthetically compared to damon?
does anyone know where i can get lingual braces? how much is the average price for lingual?

QUOTE(pikeydude @ Jul 14 2010, 08:32 PM) You may want to try Su Dental at Jln Kuchai Lama... I'm wearing my braces and under her treatment. You may want to enquire as the charge varies from the teeth situation. called Su Dental, they said they only do normal braces Added on July 15, 2010, 11:45 pmQUOTE(DrBarbarian @ Jul 15 2010, 10:02 AM) cheapest that I know of is about RM4k.... Damon braces are similar to mini braces without the mini 'rubber bands'.... there are many types of braces in the market.... ceramic, plastic, metal, haflings and even gold..... they all basically do the same thing.... advantages over one another is not that great...... Make sure the doctor that do the braces for you is a qualified orthodontist.... lots of gp out there took short courses to do braces(couple of days training) and claim they can do it.... is that 4k in KL? Damon supposedly takes a shorter period of time and doesn't hurt though. how do i tell whether the doctor is a qualified orthodontist or not? thanks This post has been edited by pegasusxing: Jul 15 2010, 11:45 PM

Damon claim that it's faster coz it's system causes less friction.... in reality, it's not the system that determines the amount of movement but the dentist... we have to evaluate if your teeth is suitable to be moved at a faster rate.... Orthodontists don't do gp work... so if your dentist does fillings, scaling, extraction etc..... then he/she is highly likely not a specialist.... 4k is really cheap! where's the clinic? do you have a number? thanks
