means ur teeth are straighter already, causing the wire become straighter n there'll b more extra wire at the end

ah i see... thx for the info karynkhoo! when it happened to you, did you go and had the extra bit cut off? or just stuff it with dental wax?

i jst stuff with dental wax. only request dr to cut it off during next appointment.

yeah me too...

yes.. it break.. this is 2nd times happenned to me. I don't know.. May be it's too sharp curve and break..

Dr. How hav conference till Monday

So, I cut the wire to aviod it poke my lip or tongue..somehow, i caused the backet at wire break point drop too.. Hai... now one teeth without bracket. Without one bracket, the wire even easy poke me on between of teeth. So, i cut off the wire again. Have to wait till Monday..

jst bear with it lo, 2 more days to go...

Hi everyone! i'm new to tis though i've been reading tis for some time. i'm getting my braces tis weekend at how's. seems like he's the only ortho i can trust.

i'm in dilemma on the type of braces i shld go for. i'm in late twenties, so i wish smtg subtle (vry shy la..) hence innovation c. but dr told me it produces slower result than damon 3, mostly becos it get loose & break easily therefore prolonges treatment time. becos of my age oso, i do wish to speed it up.

somemore dr highly recommends me lotus system. i dun think i've read any lotus user in here. can the lotus supporters share wit me their experiences pls?

there u see....i've no idea wat i shld take.... DAMON 3?? INNOVATION C?? LOTUS???

btw, those who paid 6k for damon is using damon 3 or damon 3MX?

reali, reali appreciate ur sharing and replies

Gosh...i don't even know Damon got Damon 3 & 3mx. Am i the oldest here who got braces at 30?! Aikss...I got the transparent 1 instead of metal so extra $$. So its from my paycheck....sob sob...Just saw my credit card bill...nearly fall off my chair..I should have pester my parents when small....then no need to fok out on my own now...hehehe

Anespian, You are not alone... haha...

hlee09:
I just decided to go with the metal damon since it produces faster result.. somemore in my age maybe will get married in the middle.. i pun tak kisah about the metal damon braces... will worry about it when the wedding happens... the invisible one did you mean ceramic ones?? I think ppl can also see it and i chose metal one instead of ceramic ones cuz i dont want it to stain with the curry or anything (you know our malaysian foods are soooo yummy...)... and i break things easily so metal one suit me better la... if you want the ceramic, just go for it... follow your heart.. you will get the results also but maybe longer time according to Dr How... For me, I want the result to be faster cuz scared wedding in the middle of these 2 yrs...

Hi, Check pages 74, Post #1465

Hi, I'm paying RM6k for Damon 3MX. For the difference between Damon 3 and 3MX, please refer to:

Damon 3
Damon 3MX

I chose Damon because Dr. How told me that it produces slightly faster results as compared to Innovation C.

Know someone, arranged with orthodontist to have her breaces off just before wedding photography date. In time and excellent results. You invinsible as in the ceramic ones. Its not so visible, bling bling as the metal ones So far, no stains from curries & other sinful food..kekekeke. If you're quite certain on getting braces, get consultation and seek advise. Don't be afraid to ask Dr on Anything!

Many many thanks to you all for replying me so fast! god only knows how much i need support n encouragement at tis moment... *sigh*

anespian : dun woli, u're definitely not alone. i'm touching 30 next bday, but coz i still havent so i considered myself as in "late 20s"

tomatonz : i have the same concerns as urs..stain, breakage & faster result. the fixing of the breakages/ loose bracket is especially headache to me..cos if reali happen, ive to rush to bangsar from hartamas after work..the jam is so gonna kill me
ohya..about the wedding part, i've asked dr about it. he said if metal braces, taking off is not a problem. but if ceramic, then the process might damage (some of) it and i've to pay for new brackets when reinstall back. btw, he'll charge 300 for taking off n reinstall.

kentcp : hi, kenny. tks for the infor. i've read it before n it's exactly wat dr told me oso. but i haven seen any testimonial from ppl who actually use it. n when i research online, i couldnt find much about it except its own official website. so i'm wondering has anyone tried out tis system yet?

karynkhoo : u're using 3MX for 6k package? i called the clinic tis morning n the nurse told me tat 6k is for damon 3 and not damon 3MX. is damon 3 and 3MX suppose to be same price?

i've made my appointment tis coming sat to install my braces. i had my xray n mould taken last week but i told them i couldnt decide which type i opt for, so i'll call back n confirm. they're ok wit it. after i came home and read more on braces, i realized i din ask enuf questions. so i'll bombard dr with tons of questions before he start "operating" on me. i just hope he won look like tis later
