I'm from KL.

Anyone did your braces at the building opposite KLCC? That building with telekom banner (not sure whether the banner still there anot).

just want to ask u guys with braces is it really in 2 years time (or duration wearing brcaes)you cannot eat hard food as usual?

Hmmm... Depending on what type of food. What type of hard food are u referring?

erm..crab?i love crab..
And also will it inconvenient when traveling?i am planning to go korea this year sept.Wat i concern is i might not taste their food due to the braces..
oh i planning to get braces done this month.

Oh crab.... Hahaha.... Yes you can still eat crab but u also have to sayang your teeth. That means, you use the tool to crash it first. Dont try to crash the shell with your teeth.

And your concern abt food in Korea? No worries, I just went Korea not more than 2 months ago. I eat normally. The food there are not hard anyway. Most importantly, no accident happen when I was there.

But when I eat char siew rice in m'sia, the bracket got loosen. Anyhow, if any of your bracket got loosen or fall, no worries. It won't cause anything. If it fall, just pick up the bracket n bring it back to the clinic. Doctor will glue it back for you.

oh then i should not be worry so much..thanks a lot..

FOnte, its only like the first 1-3days after tightening you find yourself not being able to eat hard food. After that I'm perpetually eating anything, so don't worry ! However, hard biscuits I try to avoid & also I can't eat apple by just biting it. Got to cut into pieces first. So don't worry !

On a side note, I'm feeling really happy today because I took out the old pictures Dr How gave me and I see a quite huge improvement ! Definitely gotta be better when I de-brace ! Excited

so good.. how long hv you been braced and when are you going to debrace? i still have a really long way to go T_T

I just remembered the name of the building. It's called Angkasa Raya. But I googled the orthodontist there, I think that's the one. Maybe they shifted to Megan Avenue. Anyone did their braces there?

When I started braces, I only feel pain on 3rd day onwards and last for few days... First time, Dr use very thin string, so the string still soft, that's why you won't feel much pain..however, it still enough power to move your teeth slowly (24 hours x 7 days)

24hours X 7 days?wat does it mean?

and after 3rd day onli i will feel pain?omg...i can tahan the pain..but i caused me a bit headache and uncomfortable so i unable to slp well last nite

Wow, glad to hear that you're ok wit the brace do far. Although u weren't sleeping well last nite. It seems that u really are a sensitive girl. Dun worry, even if u do feel pain, the pain will only last u abt 3 days. And to me, maybe I'm used to it, I dun feel anything already.

Some of us will say we miss the tight feeling cos u know the teeth are moving. However I remember my teeth only started to move on the 6th week. That when u see the improvement. I was so happy and amazed by it.

is it normal that tooth move and imbalance of the teeth row?

i can see now my upper teeth is imbalance.. like do re mi.. a good significant?

Dun worry. Doctor will tune it for it on your next visit if necessary.

got my braces already..
Hopefully i won't regret..

Of course you won't regret. Ur only regret is that why u wait until now only go for brace.

dear all..just to update my status...today is 4th day...stil dun really feel the pain..just feel the tightness so far:)still can bear with it..just a little bit headache....but on of my bracket loosen..need to find dr to glue it back:(...hard to find parking man..

livon6699, sorry for the late reply. I got it on in march 2010 and its been 14 months now I might need a full 24 mths or more
