seriously?
i did mine for RM 3900

why is it so cheap? when did u get urs? 10years back?

Er...Last Year..I did for Rm2600..Now dunno hw much la..

i wonder why my teeth can chipped off?.. i mean the tip of my teeth "broke" a tiny bit la.. why ? not strong?

anyway, i'm wearing retainer now.. not comfy but have to wear it for half year ..after that can wear only at night.

If you guys get it done in a GH, its free thats what i heard. OR maybe your parent(s) must work there? Yay! Bubblytomato i hope ur right lol. I heard people saying that too. A little yellowish teeth means they're stronger xD

Bah. Who cares. I drink a cup of full cream milk everyday. Garenti my teeth stronger than most people =)) no matter the colour

Teeth chipped off? o.O Your enamel not strong enough? Or you've had an accident?

And yeah, like nikki said spinach will get stuck in all the little nooks and crannies =/ but since its my favourite veg i still took spinach xD
And yeah, gotta spend a hell of a time taking care of your teeth with braces on. I remember i'd spend almost 30 minutes getting every bit of food out at night

that happened to me too. but it was my mom
but that time i started only by wearing retainer.. no braces
so after the disappearance of the retainer i went to the dentist for braces hahaha
now still wearing.. another 2 months to go!

the last time i checked, government orthodontic clinic RM700 (RM500 for braces + RM200 for retainers)..and it's free if your parents works for the government, all u need is a letter from the boss, kaotim! FOC! =D

cheaper than all the private orthodontic clinic, but u gotta wait reaaally long enough to get it done.

i was in the waiting list since form 4, that was like 6 yrs back, got it done 4 years ago, wore it for about 1 year plus, now retainers at nite only..

get it done at government/private clinic doesnt make much difference. maybe u can get colored band/braces at private clinic but the overall outcome is still the same if u really take good care of your teeth during this period....

edit:

agree with supercolossal. oral hygiene is really important. you wouldnt want ppl to be covering their noses whenever talkin to you rite

Actually u can get colored band/braces at GH as well,a friend of mine had her braces at a GH and once in a while she'll change the colour to yellow,blue,red,etc...quite colourful

I seriously need braces,2 teeth(one left one right) beside my 2 front teeth is at the inner part of my gum...that's the consequence of not plucking out the teeth when the new ones are coming out,really regret now Can't afford to a private clinic,while the GH has to wait for soooooo long....

Can dentist 'lock' fake teeth on our gum by screwing it on to the gum? like screw it with a nail or something...thought it would be a solution for my teeth problem except braces...

omg that sucks.. i guess i should wear my retainer now..
i hate it... very very uncomfortable.. making me upset n moody..
got my braces off n just started to wear it early tis month.. wearing braces is much better than retainer.. at least im comfortable with it.. after two days i stopped wearing my retainer.. im sure my dentist gonna scold me if he notices anything moving..

anyone here heard of transparent braces??
interested...what it's call?

wa..that one freakin exp wo.. >.<

i heard, the effect not as good as the normal besi one ..

from the phamplet given, it's called "Inspire Ice"... of course it cost more then the normal metal 1....and it's less effective...

i was given tat type of retainer b4..
hard to clean.. and it seems like it'll expand...
but my maid threw it away b4 i can use it any longer lol

man...seems like it's really not fun getting braces...lucky my teeth still ok..just 1 tooth of the lower front and upper front abit pushed in due to frequent nail-biting habits on the same tooth

oh really?? tot da transparent effect is the same as besi type
now besi type also quite nice d
can add colour rubber lagi~
not bad either
LOL

the transparent one is used as retainer oni (for mine)

i dunno about transparent braces lol

the inspire ice is braces, not retainer....

wow so groovy
they probably coming up with diamonds in future,add bling bling in LOL

now got more advanced braces. it is called damon 3. no need to pluck 4 teeth anymore. just wear it at it is cos its self adjust and less treatment time compare to traditional braces. no more tightening every month laaa haha

so far there's only 1 dental that i know who does this. it's Q-Care dental in taman tun.

i went for the appointment already to wear this. it costs around 6k. but actually im more interested in invisalign but i dont think its available here yet. totally invisible and people cant even notice ure wearing one. its transparent bracket where u can remove while eating!!!
