Damon 3 should no need to extract teeth unles your teeth is too serious/ double / over lap teeth.. then need to extract one teeth to give some space.

Hi all~

I'm done with my braces around 2 years ago... guess i can share some of my experiences here ....

i'm having a nice teeth after being suffered for 1 and the half year ....

about the extraction of teeth question, actually most of my frens including me did need extraction of healthy teeth due to normally the untidy growing fo teeth is due to they dont have enough spaces to grow accordingly.

U'll probaly suffer pain in the very first week since your teeth are trying to adjust but the later on days you'll only suffer a bit pain for around 3 days (for my case) after each month appointment to tighten ur braces.

Hope it helps ^^.

Hmm..understood. But putting on braces means put it on both up and down? I saw got a friend of mine,she said the dentist tighten her upper teeth 1st then later on only do the lower part. It is to lessen the pain doing that way? Before doing braces,the dentist will pluck out some of your teeth right? It is the last teeth,the bigger ones? Coz recently I have 2 new grown teeth at the last corner there,senget ones How to cabut oh..painful>.< And how much do u paid at the 1st sessions? Pay in 1 go or pay it everytime u visited the dentist? Thank you for the helping tips,at least i know


For my case, Dr. How is install brace on my upper teeth first. He can't install the brace on my lower teeth because i have a deep bite when close my mouth. Not sure when he will install at my lower teeth. I believe everyone condition is defferent, so, we may have slight defferent treament. At the end of day, still advice to get consultant from dentist. We are here only can provide those info that we know only

braces as far as I know range from 3k to 20k ....

hm... in my case every appointment I only need to pay my installments... except sometimes need to buy some brushes, those thingy la...

Waaa...can cost till 20k de ar?!! Till 4 k already very very exp for me who gona pay it with own money.
Sakit hati but what to do..want my teeth to look better lor 20k,it is that dentist makan duit ka? What cost till that much oh?..

hahah ... u will be surprised how much a dentist can earn these days ...
the doctor who did my braces is a friend of my father ... he earn 15K for non-appointment cases .. by non-appointment cases i mean emergency cases ... you are paying for their expertise ... they dont need to prepare much medicine like doctor ..

if its expensive ,, try get government one la .. around RM500-800 i think .. but book 1 year in advance ...

No worry, those expensive stuff is for those who want fix at inner teeth. For my Damon 3, i paid for RM5,600 but break into 14 times installment. Green apply is correct, this cost not include to buy electronics brush and others thing

Wow,dentists@doctors are supeb rich!!! I also want to apply for government but i'm too late for it. I already called the goc hospital,they rejected me So now only can go for private..kaching!!

they got a lot of range 1... I remember got 1 the dentist told me the brackets all put on the inner part of the teeth... when I heard of the price, I also ..... I think somemore expensive also got ler... maybe the brackets gold plated or something...

To me, i found Dr. How is good and knowledgeable on this field lo.. Like i want to temporary remove my "bite stop" , kena said for few min.. and no more second time...I know he want the result.. if i keep asking him to remove, it will delay the process..

Done in Kepong for RM3300. 1st pyment is RM800, then 2nd time u visit is 600, 3rd time 600, afterward 50 every month. The result i've seen from my cousin is good... I will do the review and process for braces at m blog soon. Pls visit http://www.perfectionistbeauty.blogspot.com/
