i know 1 of the clinic can do the braces at Bangi bcoz i have done with it.. hehe..

Klinik Lisa Alis (03-89269711)

in front of PKNS Bangi

Thanks. I did call that clinic. But she replied "umm...boleh kot. sebab ktrang kat sini pasang untuk yang junior" and the price now is RM4700 including tooth extraction.

Im 23, guess im not a junior anymore. huhu...

I got my braces at Whitesmile, times square.
DAMON type. RM5400

I'm so angry... Was suppose to go for my appt today. Due to distance and schedule, I would take half day leave everytime just to go for the appt.

When I reach the clinic, the nurses told me doctor is not in due to his last minute trip to oversea. I don't blame the doctor cos I know he us a busy man. But the nurse!!! They didn't inform me. Is not like I live next to the clinic you know....

Urgh,,,, so upset. And this is not the first time that this had happened....

if me also angry. waste time, waste transport fee. =.=

Yalor... Waste time, petrol n parking fee. Sigh...

Maybe you can complain about this to Dr. How during your next appt. So far, I was informed of any changes to my appt, latest on the same day. If I were you, I think I'll scold the nurses/staffs already.

I'm wearing Damon braces for about 10 months now and wondering if any of you have receding gum? Sort of like the gum line has moved upwards and teeth is more expose?

Another annoying thing is one of the bracket keep falling off, seems like the teeth is hitting the braces when I bite. And the dentist said it's getting difficult to glue it again when it's falling out so frequently. I wonder if it's a common problem.

1 of my bracket fell off >3 times and my ortho changed the bracket.

Do you get charged for the new bracket? Usually the bracket comes in one whole set?

I wasn't charged for the new bracket. I'm not sure whether the brackets only come with whole set or they do come separately.

Added on October 14, 2010, 11:32 amDr. How is having an apprentice/disciple called Dr. Raymond is it? Anyone have any latest info about this?

I went to the clinic to fix my loose bracket last week n Dr. Raymond fixed for me because Dr. How was overseas.

This morning I went for review, Dr. How was fixing hook on my brackets to hook rubberbands, then Dr. How passed the job to Dr. Raymond half way. Anyone has any idea who's this Dr. Raymond?

may i know wat is the different between damon 3, ceramic brace and in-ovation c ??

Hi all..I'm new here ^^
Anyone knows any good ortho. in Seremban area?
Thank you in advance.

-damon 3 and in-ovation c are different brands for self-ligating braces
-self-ligating braces can be from different material; metal or ceramic. ceramic is near to teeth colour hence will look like transparent from far

In-ovation is available wit metal brackets or ceramic bracket. The in-ovation C is ceramic.

However, If I'm not mistaken, there Is also another type of ceramic braces that is not in-ovation. And this type of ceramic braces is consider the older type of braces and many find this system slow.

Oh by the way, I visited dr how's clinic today to fix a fallen (again ) bracket. Apparently dr how is busy and another dr fixed it for me. Probably is dr Raymond that u talked abt?

He is quite gentle. I dint feel any pain while he 'clip' in the wire....

ops, sorry, I tot in-ovation c is the brand name.

I also left out on traditional braces, which is less effective comparing to self-ligating braces. There are metal and ceramic type for traditional braces as well.

I went to Dr. How's clinic jst now, Dr. Raymond did a reposition for me. He's very gentle, careful and patient.
