wahh...weird or not...till now no pain leh...issit a bad sign or good sign?...or teeth not moving??..guess what, my bracket came off today while brushing teeth. grr...need to fix it tomorrow...and how on earth you guys brush your teeth ah?..so hard leh...cant even see behind..duno what am i brushing...i scare brush too hard then wire/bracket putus ...if too soft macam whats the point of brushing...lolz...give me tips plsss....need to get up 1/2 hr to brush teeth before go to work...sigh...gone my 1/2 hr sleep...and then hor, i cant eat awesome food, only porridge ...ciss...how long i need to eat porridge wor...so ke lian...u guys feel da pain when eating or not eating?..coz i dont feel the pain now...only when i eat...when i try to bite...it feels a tiny lil bit pain...maybe due to the pressure of the braces...am not sure...but i try not to bite lo....if not later bracket or wayar putus habis...

[/quote]


erm.. as for me, I not yet experience wayar putus lar (touch wood), but there are a few times my bracket came off... it came off when I brush my teeth (the dentist say I quite rough ) and another time it happened after I woke up, coz the lower bracket was in contact with the upper 1...Another 1 was when I tried to get something out (in between the gap) then it came off...

oh, yeah, the first few days after the bonding process, the "glue" (or the cement?? ) not that hard yet, so you have to be extra cautious...

when you brush, brush slowly, but make sure you get through all the parts... especially the ones at the back...then after brushing, check your mouth throughly, see got any food stuck some more or not... then use the small small brush to brush in between the brackets... that's what I do lah...

dun worry... lama-lama you know the technique 1....


about the porridge, I remember the first 2-3 days I ate porridge loh, then I complained very sien to my mom then she cooked koey teow sup for me...

until now, sometimes after bite hard things, I will feel slight pain de woh... but today, I tried to eat a big burger and succeeded! YESSS!

i heard of Dr Khoo in oug.. opposite oug plaza there..

For my case@Dr. How,

RM 200 - 2 X-ray, mold & 6 photos

hi ... anyone know how much for implant 1 teeth in kl area or seremban?

For my case, actually there is not much of feeling unless you bite food.. the wire is very stong (if not mistaken, it is titatium), so you have no worry. Just don;t brush too hard till the braces drop off.

Not sure if you aware on the method of brushing teeth ? All the while, we been told to using up and down method when brushing teeth. However, after we installed braces, we must change to left to right, right to left brushing method on 90 degree, then 135 degree, 45 degree to clean the braces. You may buy the small triangle brush to clean the gap between the 2 teeth - behind the wire(of couse using up and down method this time).

Also, your tooth brush should use the orthodontic tooth brush (I am using ORAL B). You can get it from Watson easily. The brush is in V shape. Prices about RM7.50.

actually, you still can eat rice. Just ask your mum cook the rice softer. I admit a bit hard to eat but try to using back teeth to bite lo.. or else, you will bored on the porridge after few week later. You will get thiner too (I lost 5 KG)

Try to balance your nutrition, to maintain your health.

I am not sure if you have to install "bite stop" behind your front teeth in future. If so, then your only choice of meal will be porridge only. Because when you close your teeth, upper and lower teeth can't touch each other at all, so u need to swallow food without bite.

Enjoy food while you still can have some bite

wahh...bracket putus kena charge or not?...i brushing teeth putus mia....sigh....i brush slow slow liao wor...pain pain a bit la...also use the small small brush lor...been eating porridge for 2 meals a day for 3 days liao...u say sien or not...laweh...kueh teow soup ah...mah favourite...haha...i dont dare eat things that i need to bite leh.. i scare kena bracket or get stuck at my teeth...sigh...

My food menu ah.. any food that can take in spoon and send to my back teeth for bite..ha ha..fish is the easy food for bite.. meat a bit difficult especially on first week but i can eat it now. Any food that require hard work on front teeth, i don't dare to try, eg. burger

hey, im wondering whether most orthodontic will clean/polish your teeth after removing the braces?

yeah, they will,and they charged seperately from the treatment cost.

sad case la, semalam went and fix the bracket, because my lower teeth kena my bracket so Dr put BITE STOP for me...argh...3rd day put bite stop liao...goodness...i cant even bite!!!..try to bite vege also cant, end up swallowing it...how long will da bite stop last??...so so sad...everyday eat porridge and tau fu fah...i wana die of hunger dy....previously can bite use behind teeth...now langsung cannot...so ke lian...helppppppppppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

aiyah... really kelian loh... I also like that last time... I remember when the doctor put bite stop, I really swallow food without chewing it...

tau fu fah not bad what.....

Added on April 22, 2008, 1:55 pmerm.. I put about...6 months already! at first, I also din dare to eat burger leh... but that day cannot tahan already...

erm... I remember when I was in the "cannot eat anything" phase, I ate porridge, sometimes ate biscuits, but must rendam in the Milo until lembik lembik lah... or when hungry that time drink Milo only loh.. practically 1 day drink 3-4 cups of Milo at that time... wahahahahaaha

if your bracket came off, they won't charge you, but if you lose the bracket then you have to pay lah... I think RM40 per bracket.. better not lose it ooo...

Added on April 22, 2008, 2:00 pmeh, why I never see it 1?? currently, I'm using the normal toothbrush (shhh... don't tell the DR. aaa) but must change about every 1 1/2 months once... cepat rosak...

I got find at watson before... tak nampak pun?


since I got my braces, I dun like to eat rice coz the grain like to get stuck in between brackets or teeth... that's y I selalu lapar...

Cool down The bite stop is act like a booster for the process.. it do help to adjust the teeth more faster, as our teeth didn't touch each other. Frankly, i hate it too but i love it as well

damn annoying la the bite stop...its like something stuck at your back teeth and you keep on wanting to get rid of the thing...mana tau is the bite stop...grrr...i talk also weird weird tei...ppl dont seem to know what am i talking...geez...do u guys have ulcers yeT?..

yeah, the bite stop is annoying.... about the speech... I remember last time I talk have to repeat 2-3 times... end up I listen more than talk...

I got a bit ulcer in the inner lip, coz the braces is in contact with it... but now ok ady... must rajin put ubat lah...
