Nikki, what do you mean two more !! Haven't you got them extracted before ? Yeah I think Dr How will ask you to do so too ! And maybe after that continue putting screws to make the rest of the tooth move inner a bit. Does your screw migration refers to him taking out the screw and put it another place ? He's gonna do that to me & I'm also worrying ! Gonna keep shifting 4 screws around. How many times have he shifted yours ?

Jia you ya ~~ I received a FB msg from my schoolmate who just get contacted after about 20 years. She said I look so different and better good looking now. (ehem )

Conclusion: It is worth to wear braces, as it does help to change our face structure to be better and having a good looking smile ^^

Well said!

I dunno how the thing gonna be cos it nvr happen b4. He just tell me out of sudden and didnt explain further. And not that i can talk while he is doing the thing in my mouth.

Oh abt my wisdom tooth...we have 4 right? i've removed 2 already and left two more lo. Its popping out slowly le...

Hahaha yea true ! So hard to talk when he's adjusting my braces ! After experiencing it, come here and tell us okay ! Hahah I always feel more secure when you assure me !

Ohh you removed the tops one eh. Thank God it pop out now instead of later.

U always feel more secure when I assure u? Why so? Cos we have similar problem?

Hahaha because I think it's easier to relate to a girl's tolerance of pain. Guys are usually more tough and when they say it doesn't hurt, it still does !!

Actually I think my tolerance level is quite high too le. Hahaha... However, no matter how pain Also hav to endure it. Cos no turning back once u're in the room.

just extracted 2teeth on top,hv 2 big holes now..no pain at all so far .

Do u come back often to KL? if u were to purposely come back, or visit Dr. How monthly, make sure u have enough time for the appt. Everytime u are at the clinic also be prepare to wait at least 1 hour.

ya..once a month
or 1 1/2 month
i think time is not a problem
everytime i just go shopping n meet my friends
sometimes just lepak2 at home

Bare in mind that Doctor How wont be in on Fri-Sun.

ooo...like that huh
so no chance to do it there lah
i thought friday would be ok for me bcoz trg holiday
thanx for the info
really help

No worries

hi how much you guys [aid for the wisdom teeth extraction with dr how? my wisdom teeth is still under my gum...does it cos alot?

Went for appt today, had my front screws (2) moved to the back. Then doctor put 2 springs, one at each side.

When he was doing the remove n re-install, I dun really feel a thing la. No pain at all cos I had gotten the injection. By the time he was doing the thing, I feel numb at my upper jaw, lip n also nose. It's so numb until I can control my upper lip when I try to gargle water off the cup.

However, doctor gav me mc for today n doctor says I will feel pain later so he gav me 2 painkillers. Took one abt 20 mins ago n now I'm resting....

Shanay, u did yours already? If not, dun worry k? Not that scary. Feeling numb is more scary. D:

Added on March 7, 2011, 2:42 pmIt depends on your condition whether the teeth is fully out. If your teeth are fully out n does not require surgery, it will not be ex. If I'm not mistaken rm90 each n 50% off for Dr. How's ortho patient.

And of course if it requires surgery, it will cost more. I hvnt done mine tat require surgery wit Dr How. So I dunno abt that.

NikkiDaTeddy, hahah I totally understand the numb feeling ! Like I cannot gargle properly, all the water spilling out of my mouth. He repositioned my screw 2 days ago. I think after the numbness wears off, it is a little painful. I didn't take the painkiller because he didn't prescribe it to me >< I did take Panadol acti-fast because cannot tahan =x

gila99, the surgery cost RM650 per wisdom tooth.

OMG so expensive!! Does it feel really pain ? and does it dangerous?? Because i think my wisdom teeth is not even grown yet..because i touched them ,is still very under of my gum...does it dangerous to do the surgery?? sorry im really scare dentist...
