Hi Ouchie,

I've been to both orthos so if you'd like more info than what I'm giving right now, feel free to PM me.

First went to Dr How in 2010 and he seemed jovial in the beginning but he didn't fully explain his treatment plan with me. I may be in the minority who wasn't pleased with his treatment since other people on this board were happy with their results, so please bear in mind that this is just my experience and not something that should deter you from making your own decision. Dr How also pushed extractions on me even when I wasn't really sure about it and his bedside manner was quite rude. Rushing through the treatment due to the high number of patients he sees, rough when changing brackets, not explaining things in detail and handing me off to his assistants when he expanded his clinic to join up with the Beverly Wilshire group. I hated the way my teeth were pushed back into my face, causing an 'older, thinner' face. Oh yeah, I complained to the new office manager and she said she'll bring this up with the doctor and never got a call back from that office. Wasted RM6000 there. I didn't think they really cared about me as a patient there.

I hated my results and transferred to Dr Reuben who I can say is so much nicer and willing to talk to you about the treatment and most importantly, he asks about your opinions and what you'd like the outcome to be. I'm seeing an improvement in my profile and my teeth looks far better than it ever did before. The office staff are nice and pleasant. Oh and my teeth doesn't hurt when Dr Reuben adjusts them. Price wise, I think they're both more or less the same, Dr Reuben may be cheaper by a few hundreds.

PM me if you want more info, yeah?

Hi Mataharih, I felt the same especially after the clinic has expanded and Dr seldom did the review anymore and handed me over to his assistant. But he checked my progress first and told his assistant what should be done before review started. May I know how you switch your treatment to Dr Rueban? Did you pay all over again as you have already finished the rm6k instalment? Looking forward for your reply, thanks!

Try to survey around and see if the doctor is available for consultation: discuss your case. They will ask you to take a x-ray and mould for better review.
Call up the clinic and ask them the price, payment, no. of patients, do they take credit card and so on. When u are at their clinic, observe around and see any patients to talk about their treatment.
Then you will have an idea on the treatment, clinic and doctor.

Happy surveying. I made few phone calls before drop by their office.
Sometimes, general dentist have specialist coming over to their clinic for ortho treatment, i do not like this because if anything drop off from the braces, I will ask who to look for?

My cousin sis did her at emmanuel klang for 4k traditional braces (4 years back), no idea how much it cost now. Mine currently about 5.5k (self-lig) at KL.

Dr. Choo at Berkeley is one of the Klang's orthodontist... no idea how much she charged, but the patients having long queue. or u can check out http://www.mao.org.my/list-selangor.htm

anyone experiencing pains but do not want to take ice-cream, try yogurt or riped banana.... to me, it worked.

1st day, no pain but stiff gums.
2nd day, the pain kicks in but i still chew chew soft food. Banana is really testing my gums to deal with pain. Such a soft fruit, but i can't chew properly. Rice in soup and porridge with fish - almost 45 minutes to finish 1 meal... Can't imagine i took so long for it... Exercise your gums, brush, massage and chew soft foods....
3rd day, i am free of these pains.. Having crackers dips into milo for breakfast....

to be exact, ripe banana (soft).... potasium to helps on muscle pain works on gums too....
other foods rich in potassium - moderate portion includes: oranges, potatos, melons and raisins... but i can't chew oranges/ melons/ raisins... gonna make fruit juice then

Drinks lots of water - china's barli cool down our body, reducing the possibility of mouth ulcer

Expensive... any price range?
Traditional metal - 3.5k-6k (metal to ceramic)
Self-lig- about 6-10k (metal to clear)

Nowadays, treatments are pretty affordable with deposit of <2k, monthly installments at 100-300/month....
