Extract 3 batang? Then it will not symmetric?

I think ur Dr. decided to extract only 3 teeth due to the nature of ur current teeth... by extracting 1 on lower part is OK to make ur lower teeth symmetrical enough... good for u leng_leng...

So u only cabut 1... the numbness shudnt be that much... 

The bleeding part... the blood is jelly-like or a normal blood? mine last time was jelly-like... maybe my ortho injected some chemical that make the blood "frozen" ... urmmm, try to eat/drink something cold for the time being... and nurse said dont spit too much bcoz it will trigger more blood to come out from the hole (    )... hope it works...

After reading all the posts here.. I starts wondering why my extraction so expensive..

1 screw = RM500
1 tooth = RM1000

I have to put 2 screws and pull out 5 teeth..
Total shud be RM6500
Can some1 tell me what is happening?
My Dr is from Plaza Damansara, DR Aaron Kong. He is an ortho..
Then the dentist from near SOGO, DR Wong.. A dentist Surgeon..

Yes. Its called Lingual Braces. But it's extremely expensive. 10 to 15k. No joke.

Really? Hrmmm... i think u can try to apply ulcer cream on that part during bedtime... who knows it works... leng_leng, bertahan ya... 
Honestly, i do feel the same thing... when looking at the big holes, i wonder if those holes will close it gaps during the braces treatment... but looking at most successful cases and remember what my ortho did say, i believe that my braces will do their excellent job...

Extracting 4 healthy teeth is not an easy decision to make... i feel "pity" looking at my extracted teeth... they r sooOooo strong n healthy... but they have to "sacrifice" to save the rest of the teeth... 

I thought im the only one doubt the decision made... martiolativo, ur not alone... i do encounter the same feeling as urs...    . And i also believe our friends who did the extraction in this forum feel the same too...

I just did extraction, still bleeding now. Actually the gap for booth teeth is quite big for me. When looking in the mirror.. I have this felling : "OMG, did I do the right thing??"  I then looked at the extracted teeth.. 

Gosh, I hope I did the right thing.

Power chain is like a support bra for your teeth...hahaha...U wanna know how it looks like? i tried taking pictures. But because mine is transparent, so its not visible in picture.
but click this link  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cacRPeRytlQ&NR=1
But the video a bit scary la...put so many things into his mouth. My chain only hooked 4 of my upper front teeth.
when u have the power chain on, u feel damn tight. But it's a very hard working chain. it moves ur teeth fast...

Agree with green apple...i still drink coffee as usual, and i still drink my soft drinks too =)
Just take good care of ur oral hygiene,it should be fine =)

I believe in few weeks u will start adjusting urself with braces inside ur mouth... without u realize u can chew and feel as if nothing inside ur mouth... bcoz ur getting used to it...

During work, usually i buy breakfast consist of any type of noodles... as i said, noodles are easy to chew... sometimes i bring porridge from home... sometimes i just buy bread/biscuits and eat with hot milo or tuna spread/peanut butter/nutella (nyum nyum)... if u feel bread/biscuits are a bit hard to chew, dip in hot drink until it soft, then eat lorrr... or instant oats... or bring blended fruits i prepared nite bfore... or sometimes i just buy papaya... or whenever i wanna eat outside, i always order meehoon/kuetiaw kungfu/ladna/fried... or pasta/lasagna at fast food restaurant... anything soft, chewable which can fill up my empty stomach... but thank God nowadays i can eat fried rice, KFC, McD, etc... then after work, i rush home and eat home made cooking... just be creative and frequently change food so that u wont get bored... and try to eat food that u think u can chew... then add it in food-i-can-eat list... to ur surprise, ur list will become longer and longer... 

U will get used to it leng_leng... dont worry... n do have fun eating so many foods with braces on!  Just dont forget to brush/clean teeth after meal ya...
