o my god..i jz had a slice of apple..n the wayer(titanium)...came off at the last 2 teeth...aiyo...did any one experinced this???i am having damon 3

It happened to me 3 times. No worry, just slow slot it back through each teeth's bracket..

oh hey.. well.. braces for me not painful at all.. i pluck 4 teeth.. and my dentist say will be done in one and a half year's time.. tightening bite chicken summore.. and her tightening took less den 10 minutes.. trust me.. she's pro.. my dental clinic in PJ, branch in SS2 and pudu.. it's private.. price fixed to 3.5k.. no extra paying for anyone who has to go for extra treatment.. tat is included one retainer but exclude x-ray.. transparent braces are not really transparent.. still hav metal.. less effective plus not all can wear.. onli not-so-bad condition can wear.. permanent braces is da best.. removable one din work AT ALL.. retainers better wear.. 3 days is enuf to make ur teeth move.. unless ur teeh is still not-so-bad... coz some of them wear to join da fun onli.. lolz.. can ask me more.. i kinda got experience coz for project kinda did survey and asked ppl who gone through it.. and i'm wearing too..

Added on October 3, 2007, 10:39 pmoh.. hahaha.. i miss out something again.. my dentist can pay instalment too.. can use credit oso.. first install pay 1k.. next 10 install pay 250.. after tat, just go.. lolz.. trust me.. braces isnt any accessories.. so just stick wif da normal ones.. as long as get done wif it soon.. and show off ur nice teeth for da rest of ur life! =)

i just got my braces at how's orthodontic. i go for ''Clippy-C''-invisible one. My condition: One of my front tooth
45degree senget  outward. Dr said this Clippy-C is the advanced version of Damon3. Less pain & faster result.
doctor put the braces on the upper side first.(he said put the lower side on next month)

the 5th day, the wire come out from the last bracket on my upper left side. I left it like that for 2days, then I make appointment to the doctor to fix it.
For my surprise, the wire of my front teeth did not move, even though the wire behind lose and out of the last bracket..
I think this is what they call it ''self-ligating'?
Actually i'm wondering what different between 'self-ligating' with normal one? I don't really understand the idea.
can someone clear me out?   i asked my doctor, but he said that it's not 'automatic adjusting/tightening'..

For invisible or visible bracket, its depend on ppl on preferences la..but, i did not regret take the invisible one, coz, ppl hardly can see the i wear braces(especially when take photo ,in certain distance..not very close-up la)..and the bracket is smaller ..so,its more easily to get used to it and close mouth(i face d difficulties to talk and close mouth in the 1st week)

Anyone here ever heard or been to Dr Tan Yee Har or Dr Lee Chiong Weng? Dr Tan Yee Har has a clinic somewhere in d'sara heights (if i'm not mistaken) and Dr Lee has a clinic in d'sara utama. The name of the clinic is PJ Orthodontic Specialist Clinic (Pang). Appreciate if you can share your experiences with any of them. Tx.

I went to Dr lee Chiong Weng for my braces... pretty good dr i can say... hheheh wat kind of experiences u like to know... i can eloborate for u !

Hi,

are you still wearing your braces or have you already taken them off? is it the regular braces or something else? how much did you pay?

is he a tolerant, gentle, patient dr? someone who will guide you thru what he's doing in your mouth?

hi, i'm doing my braces at David's Orthodontics, anyone from there?
i've been wearing braces for a week. and my next appointment is in a month time.
The dentist told me that i will be extracting 4 teeth (2 upper, 2 bottom)
But if my next appointment is in a month time, this whole month without extracting teeth...how will the teeth move???
Last time my sis's dentist remove the teeth before putting braces.
So, anyone encountering this? Is mine normal?   

sE_vIxEn, u did ur teeth at David Orthodontics, right? Tell me it's normal, im worried  

yes i am still wearing my braces.. i paid rm4000 for the whole course which exclude the x-ray, eh i think mine is a regular type. i can say he is a patient dr and tolerant as for gentle, so so only. If u go on a weekdays he may have time to giude u through the process, if u go on a weekend, hahah he don even have time to sit down and talk to u .... but he is very professional and knwo wat he is doing , because i saw my friend who went to klang for her braces, and even before her teeth is alligned the dr gave her a green light to take off the braces, which she then went to dr lee for a consultation , which dr lee say her teeth need alot of work to be done.

YOU SAID THAT DR LEE IS PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIENCED, MAY I ASK HOW OLD DO YOU ESTIMATE HIM TO BE? HE HAS ALOT OF PATIENTS ON WEEKENDS EVEN ON APPT BASIS? THE RM4K, HOW DID YOU SPLIT THE PAYMENT TO INSTALMENTS? GENTLE, SOSO ONLY?? MEANING HE'LL HURT HIS PATIENTS SOMETIMES, LIKE PULLING ON THE MOUTH, DIGGING ETC LIKE ONE ORTHO I KNOW IN SS2. I HAVE DENTAL PHOBIA WHICH IS WHY I AM LOOKING FOR A VERY GENTLE DR. THANKS.

Err.. Does it hurt ah.. during putting in, Dr will inject the pain killer (not sure i called it correct or not..i am poor on english) then only put in screw. so, no feeling at all.. once have pain feel, u just signal to Dr. he will inject one more then no feeling anymore.

After one hour, the pain will come. So, after putting screw, take one pill of pain killer immediately. Rest at home on the bed, try to relax and sleep possible. If still pain, use a cool wet small towel wrap with ice and cool down your pain area on your chin. repeat it for 5 ~10min then use the cool wet towel cover your mouth and chin. You will feel the pain release a lot.. close your eye and cool down, so that the blood will not blood fast in your body and give u pain signal..

After wake up in 3 hours, feel ok lo.. The next day (today), i didn't feel anything la.. Just one of screw cause a ulcer lioa..
This is my experiences la..   I tell myself, it is worth.. can shorthen 6 months treament after install 4 screws for my case..keke..so, tahan saja..

which one? the back one? there is 2, cant put wor. Dr say.

i earn my money from home tuition le

i have never put on screw before, and i nvr hear my doc say that i need to put screw. Can u please please PLEASE tell me when oni i need screw. I am praying to buddha that i dun need to. it seems very very VERY scary T_T

hi dear, i'm here.

you said that you've been wearing braces for a week. usually the doctor will give you a short period to 'get used to it'. he can't just put in the wires and expect everything to go in place. the patient might experience shock at the sudden movements and discomfort. that's why usually the first month he'll just fix the metals on your teeth and let it move very, very slowly. as you progress, the changes will be fast because you've grown used to it.

it is normal for you to extract your teeth soon, don't worry. is Dr Muhammad taking care of you? you're in good hands dear. everything about bracing is gradual changes as your progress over time.

bracing is a very personalized treatment, guys, please don't compare yourself with others to prevent unnecessary confusion. unless, of course, you feel that your doctor is not up to par.

Finally I didn't go for How's specialist. Although he's really good. haha, I am the one mentioned to him kent something something.. :-p

I have all my 4 teeth extracted d. will be on braces on june 10. probably will put bite stop also. but man, I am going to cambodia in july. dono what can I eat there... pengsan...

dr. how is good, but it's too pricy for me.

kenny, when u can take off ur braces? mine is nt even put up yet bt i want it to be removed as soon as possible d.

I have 4 holes to close up, dono when will do....

I make milk shake to drink, milk+fruits... hehe, very tasty and filling also.
