yea.. i took yr advice on that. my front teeth are too crowded, so i just let it be.. floss it . But that christmas one is kinda big for my teeth, i use another one, the straight one.. it is easier to put in between the wire, maybe because my teeth is very crowded
oh ya, hey guys, wanna ask.. do u all floss every day ar? haha.. coz sometimes i feel tired and lazy to floss.. And about mouth wash, the nurse suggested me to use oral-B coz it's alcohol free.. but oral-B is darn expensive( luckily there is this promotion with twin pack costing rm21+ lol ) .. but if the promotion ends, i wonder if i could afford to continue using this as the normal price is rm 16+ .. I saw the guardian product of mouth wash is kinda affordable.. and it is alcohol free, so i think i will switch to that one after i finish using my current.. currently stocked up 4.. lol.. so which brand are all of u using? My nurse said Listerine is not good as it contains alcohol (ethanol from the label) and i think i remember somebody mention something bad about Listerine before in the previous posts.. thanx for all advice

I'm using Oral-B cos was recommended by the nurse also. Anyway, i'm more comfortable with Oral-B cos not too pedas. About flossing... I've never floss in my life cos not sure how. So even after wearing braces also i dont floss. The nurse didnt ask me to floss also....So i only brush, use interdental brush and use mouth wash...thats all.

i also never floss before in my life before braces. After braces, initially i just flossed once a while because my teeth was still weak so i find it painful to floss.. but now i floss almost every day but i'm getting lazier. lol. the nurse told me that it is a must to floss EVERY DAY wor ..haih But i like the feeling after flossing coz it is refreshing.. hehe.. but it seriously takes too much work!

yeah juz use the straight one as ur teeth havent tidy up yet.. I only floss when there's stubborn food really stuck between my teeth...it's very tiring oh and take time also.. My doc advise me to floss only the food cannot be removed by brushing.. duno why ur nurse ask u floss everyday...

you use mouth wash everyday? I never use it wor.. What is the advantage of using it ah?

I juz noticed that some of my teeth got stain like black color behind my teeth...couldnt remove it.. Im so worried now! Anyone can advise why is it so?

Dont worry... all these stains were already there long time ago when your teeth were crowded. The stain happened to be there when u couldnt brush some area that you cant see. And now that your teeth are straighter, the stain shows.

Ask doctor to remove it if it bothers you too much or go for scalling/polish. I had one stained teeth also. It shows when my teeth got straighter. I told doctor about the stain. He said its ok.

But its too disturbing to me... At the end, i managed to removed it myself... Hahaha... The stain is something like plaque, i think. But if you're not sure how to remove, its better to get professional help lo. Dont hurt yourself.

thanks nikki... I am looking forward to see my doc this coming sat.... I feel no mood when looking at the mirror seeing my teeth like tat... so worried

ya lor.. but now i don't floss everyday anymore. it's tiring leh.. mouth wash ar.. i use it coz it will give me a refreshing feeling inside my mouth.. and it is also suggested by my nurse.. i rinsed my mouth twice a day initially but i can't afford to use it so frequent so i just rinse once a day which is at nitght before i sleep..

It's my 6th week of wearing damon 3 now. My teeth is considered over crowded and doctor informed me it is not necessary to extract any tooth. I do not notice any changes yet. Is it normal? I didn't feel pain at all since day 1. Is that why the teeth is not moving cos not tight enuff? My next appointment is next week. I feel frustrated for not seeing anything changed after 6 weeks.

No worry, the noticeable move will be after 3 months. Few of my bracesian friend also the same..

It's my 4th week now. I'm using damon 3mx. I don't have to extract any tooth as well. I think my case is almost same as you. I do feel pain since beginning, yet no movement. I guess this should be normal...

Tomorrow will be my next appointment to install my lower jaw. Nervous...

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I do can see some changes within 3 months. Y some of you install lower jaw at a later stage? Karynkhoo, don't be nervous. U r one step closer to a better teeth. I can't wait to see my doc next week and ask my doc to tight my wire tighter so I can see results sooner! Haha

I just went for my 2nd appointment today. Doctor installed lower jaw for me. Before installing, he asked me whether I want it installed today or some other time. Without hesitating or further question, I said today.

After installing, he said he has to install bite stopper for me else the teeth at my upper jaw will bite off the newly installed brackets at my lower jaw. That's the consequence of choosing to install lower jaw today. But... he did not tell me that earlier, else I would have think twice. Now my upper and lower jaw cannot touch at all. How to eat? Can someone share with me on how to eat with bite stopper? And anyone know how long the bite stopper will be there?

Besides, I asked doctor if it is advisable to extract my wisdom tooth. I have 1 wisdom tooth at my lower jaw. He said yes and it will make my face smaller as well. However, normal price for wisdom tooth extraction is RM650. Discounted price will be RM500. Is it really so expensive at some other dentists as well? I'm seriously considering to extract my wisdom tooth but hopefully with a better price. Any recommendation?

Guys,
I want to wear braces.
Paid rm500 for initial fee.
The doctor told me i dont have to remove any tooth.
I wanted to wear Damon 3.
But the doctor seems like encourage me to use Innovation C.
He told me the result is the same, however Innovation C is cheaper rm1K.
Damon System = Rm5500 and Innovation C = Rm4500

1) Any idea whats the differences between Innovation C and Damon3? Which one is better?
2) Is it wise to extract wisdom tooth to make my face smaller? And by doing that will it really makes my face smaller?
I feel that my face is a little bit wide. I want to make it small.

Cheaper? i'm using InOvationC. Mine is more expensive than Damon 3.
Doctor says its same result also. I've been wearing for 9 months plus already. I see movement after 2 months. Then major movements.
After about 4-5 months, my teeth are straight already. Just that i hav to close gaps cos i removed 4 teeth.
Since if u no need to remove, then should be very fast.

The different? same technology just different branding. Inovation C... C= ceramic. So If ceramic, the look will be different, as in not so obvious lo...

Oh I see, if the result suppose to be the same, may i know what was the reason u chose Innovation C since its more expensive than Damon 3.

From the clinic i went to, InOvation is more expensive than Damon for RM200. But however, if same price, i will go for InOvation C also. Cos of the ceramic = transparency. As i'm working already. So i feel not nice to show too much metals.

Haha,,, So thats why i rather pay extra RM200 for ceramics.

My doc didn't tell me about Inovation C. Can i change my damon to it on my next treatment?

i dont think u can simply change... When u few thousands, the payment is to buy the brackets sets. Once u decide on the type of system, u cant change already. IF u want, probably u have to pay for a few more thousand to buy the new brackets set.
