ya ~  Now I can smile proudly. My friend all said I look so different.. I told them, because I have more confident to show out my teeth

I was debace on morning then evening go to collect the retainer. It is transparent type. I wear it when i am sleep on night time only. I didn't move so fast as i thought previously. Since I debace, i did forget to wear retainer more than 24 hours, it still okay.

Feeling on retainer .. hmm.. it's like a plastic full cover all your teeths, you can't eat any food with it, as it will spoilt the retainer when bite hard. Anyhow, it's smooth surface, u can't bite food too.

When remove the retainer, it a little bit hard to remove, but u will use to it. Also, it contain a lot saliva when u remove it out..haha.. so, better do it when nobody beside you. To reduce the contains of saliva, you may rince your mouth with plain water first, this will cut off some saliva.

Yup, you will have slightly speech problem when wearing retainer. It did cut my tongue at the end of retainer, so, i just file it myself to make it smooth a bit.

TQ ~ TQ ~ 

Ken,

You didnt consider other option like permanent metal ones?

I suppose removable retainer is good.

I am looking forward on that day. I started in March this year treatment with Dr How. I think he has a new student, Dr Raymond now.

Anyway, luckily we waited. The technology now is much better than years ago.

Thanks Ken, advanced and tomatonz all the wishes.

Ken, how long has you been wearing the retainer? 3 months already? I was told to wear it 24/7 for 3 months (except when eating and brushing teeth). I wonder if it's ok to wear it only at night. It's a bit troublesome to take it off everytime before eating, especially when on the move.

greetings everyone ^^

hi
i'm new here

i'm considering wearing braces to fix my teeth
but i dunno much about it..so reading about it in this thread really helps me a lot
i plan to have my first consultation regarding braces soon but i'm quite unsure of which orthodontic clinic should i go to

currently i'm living in Cheras
i'm considering going to Dr How's clinic in Bangsar/Whitesmile clinic (the one at Timesquare)
Whitesmile clinic is closer to my place but I'm quite interested to go to Dr. How's seeing that there's many positive feedbacks from u guys here

anyone has any comments/other suggestion?
any help would be much appreciated
thank you   

Finally take my 1st step.make an appointment wit Dr.how on next monday for filling and polish,then consult about orthdo treatment.

The assistant tell me 6k for damon braces oly.may I know what is the other thgs are not include and will add up until how much??

consultation fee at rm50 but will refund to u if u decided to hv ur treatment there.

Xray + moulding rm100-rm150 I guess

accessories such as tooth brush, tooth paste, dental wax, mouth wash, interdental brush etc. But these items are optional.
