I think it's quite pricy too.

FYI my in-ovation ceramic is only 6k ++ with dr. How. Price as of oct 2008

tomatonz, Dr How quoted you RM350 per screw? He told me 400

inovation r metal RM5800 is it reasonable?

wow.was reading a few pages back to kill my time.
man,i miss my good old days wearing braces. almost a decade already.
and seemed like its getting more & more expensive,and also complicating.

Hello.. I'm still new here.. Went to see a dentist in Bangsar. Quoted me Rm6000 for normal metal braces (not the what Damon/ lotus thingy), the real traditional one and the ceramic one, no need to say lor... Rm8500!!! Wah.. So expensive meh?? Excluding extraction...

I personally think the price is acceptable. I dunno wat the rest think.

Thanks, I don't feel cheated then because I have made an appointment before actually searching around the prices in the thread

Added on December 30, 2010, 9:48 pmI have checked out this website http://www.tokyo-kyousei.net/jikan.php?para=flash
It is one of the best dental clinic that I have seen so far though I haven't been there yet when I was in Japan.
If she quoted me so expensive because of such environment.. I can understand
But hers is like... a bit old and yet so expensive.. haih

*the website is in Japanese, though I can not understand, after click click click..can understand a bit lar..

i was quoted by a dentist in ss2 rm6k..ato z.
what you guys think?
tks

Depends wat system are u using... If traditional metal, definitely too expensive.

lotus better than damon ?? visible or not ?

hi fellow bracerians

plse enlighten me-
1.if 6k is too xpensive for metal, wat is a reasonable price?

2, wat other types are there?

3. wats the difference bet damon,ceramic,lotus-i see these terms on the thread but dont know wat they are.
urgent cos dentist has put separators..going back next week for braces!
tks

I am getting my braces next Tuesday. Can I know whether I am able to return to work the next day? Or should I take leave? How do you eat at work since not everywhere sells porridge?

I think most of us here resume back to work on the next day. It's not much of uncomfortable feeling. It's bearable. As for food, I eat noodle like keoy teow soup. It's smooth n slippery so it's easy to swallow. Dun go for beehoon yet cos it's too fine. U'll hv difficulties to find ur bite.

Basically waterer u wanna wanna eat such as meat, veggie, fruits... Just dice it n chew slowly. Rice is not a prob but rice will get stuck between ur teeth.

Added on January 2, 2011, 11:56 pmWill try to answer ur questions.

1) reasonable price for traditional metal braces shud not be higher than 4.5k

2) plenty. Depends on the clinic u go to, wat systems they offer.

3) Damon is a brand. Offering different versions. Eg: Damon 3, lotus & more n more for upgraded version like BMW 3, 5, 7 series.
Of course Damon offers metal n ceramic systems too.

To clarify u, some of us here that uses ceramic, are referring to In-Ovation. Which is another brand.

Discussed this too many times. Some pals are will be bored wit my explanation already. Anyways, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

I was given the price early last year. Dont know if they have increased the price or what la, or could be the material is different now or something?! Same as price of braces - could increased up to RM 500 per year?!

Added on January 3, 2011, 8:09 pmAs for me, I had "mee sua" soup because I could not chew for like few days after braces was installed. Mee sua soup is very soft and basically you can just swallow them with the soup with little effort of chewing them...

For this part,Lotus not the upgrade version for Damon..Lotus is another brand,also same as damon self-ligating metal braces..
The version of Damon are Damon 3,3MX and Q...as u said bmw 3,5,7series.

So des... Now I learn that Lotus is another brand, there you go, andisoh.

So there are traditional non-ligating, self-ligating. Other than these, there are also lingual braces and invisalign.

How long does it usually take for the gaps to close? have extracted two teeths on the upper part and thinking how long would it take before it closes
