I was promised that he would handle my case personally. But dr how does not do braces anymore. It's by some young dentist. Not even orthodontist. And I'm 26months down my treatment. Not just the lower jaw is terrible. The whole smile is crooked.

Mind to share photos of your before n after? And what type of braces u r having?

Dr How is the chief consultant. He lectures widely all over the world. He makes sure that he sees every patient personally and prescribe the treatment each time and see the patient closely to complete the treatment on time. All the dentists are carefully selected and had attained a high level of dexterity and they show great care and concerns. If you have any issues you should discuss with Dr How and I am very sure that he will offer you a solution and solve the problem for you
He always shows me my photos before, during and after treatment and I am amazed and grateful to see how I have transformed during the journey of treatment
May I help you to convey this problem to Dr How and I am sure that he would attend to your problem. As far as I know, he always assess the smile and make sure that my smile is correct. Hence, I am pretty sure that he wouldn't accept a crooked smile.
For my case, I have always seen by Dr How together with a nice dentist and they manage me proficiently. Frankly, I think is a misunderstanding. I suggest that you discuss with Dr How directly and if you need my help. I will be more than happy to convey your concerns to him..

Any good orthodontics around Kajang/Seri Kembangan/Serdang and Cheras area?.

I have slight overbite and few teeths not so allign at my bottom part teeth. The rest are pretty straight but i wish i have a perfect teeth look.

What type of braces should i take for my case?. Normally how much and duration to wear the braces?

You done at Dr.Aina? How was the service and price for traditional metal braces?

A good experienced orthodontics will not only adjust teeth to straight. My understanding from orthodontic at Imperial Dental Bangsar, they told me that besides adjust the teeth straight, they will able and look into patient who have below problem:-

1) Crowding –the teeth are close together giving them a crowded (crooked) appearance
2) Overbite – the front teeth overlap considerably
3) Spacing – there are large, unsightly gaps between the teeth
4) Overjet – the front teeth jut out
5) Underbite- the lower teeth protrude
6) Openbite – when you bite your teeth together they will not touch
7) Misplaced Midline – the middle lines of both sets of teeth aren’t in alignment with each other
8) Crossbite – the teeth do not bite on the right side of each other

Quite a lot people have mixed problem..included with misplaced Midline. So, when wearing braces, all the teeth up and down need adjust together for perfect match.

From here, we also know that a high experienced orthodontics [B]is very important to get your condition right after debond. Orthodontics treatment is talking about skills, not buying products or just do simple scaling service, shouldn't looking for clinic location that near to home. Personal recommendation, if want a good result should hunt for high experienced orthodontic, not location. Just my 2 cent of sharing.

For traditional metal cost bout 3.5k..exclude teeth removal.
Service ok. I think she gv the cheapest than others.

i just got my braces last week and regretting it so much. i had 4 teeth extracted and now i am very worried bout getting the sunken face effect. Anyone can please share their experience. Is it true once u extract, your face will grow long?

Also, any experience in transferring dentist? if we transfer, do we still need to pay the initial dentist all for the remaining amount as initially quote? or just stop paying installment? coz right now i been once, paid once

thank you.

burburbery, I am so sorry to know your experience exactly the same as mine. My case was not really serious. Because of not being handled personally and handed over me to other doctors, it took me more than 2 years and the result was not satisfied. Yes, eventually I changed clinic and continued my treatment with Dr. Rueban, but imagine the money I have spent (so far I have spent additional RM2790 after changing doctor), the time (took me more than 3 years in total) and the material costs keep increasing (Dr. Rueban charged me RM300 for de-bond and RM700 for retainer). If I could de-bond earlier, I wouldn't have to spend that much.

Gals and guys, we are here to share our experiences and please...please think twice and choose a right doctor who can attend your case personally.

Kentcp, you were very lucky. Dr. How attended your case personally few years back and you didn't have to go through the pain we had. We are just telling the fact, there is no point for us to waste our time writing long article and just to bad mouth him. I hope you can spend at least a second, think about why we said so and be fair to us.

i'm thinking to do braces at the same time might planning to conceive as well. is that fine? the dentist told me need to remove 4 tooth, i have another 4 wisdom tooth as well, so total 8 tooth @@....

Between if i choose Damon braces is that mean i no need extract tooth?

1) Those toothbrush you can get from the clinic you seeking treatment, use also superfloss , is a type of dental floss but is use to clean the braces

2) Gargle, reduce consumption and use superfloss

allright, thank you doc!

Hi all,

anyone experienced rust on your brackets? I'm using the conventional metal brackets, and I had some champagne and korean makgeoli (rice wine that is abit carbonated). Then this morning, I realized that there are black spots on my brackets, which i think it's the brackets getting rusted.

You can get braces at anytime, no you don't have to get both upper and lower. So yes you can get for upper teeth only.

Whitesmile in berjaya Times Square.

Caring pharmacy (berjaya Times Square or publika) maybe other branches too... And jaya grocers in intermark.

If I am not mistaken, the brackets are made out of stainless steel... It shouldn't rust?

Anyone can share the charges for doing braces by Dr Reuben?

Just drop by the clinic and they can share the pricing with you it roughly starts at rm7.5k for just braces. There are separate charges for retainers, extraction and moulds.

Have anyone been doing braces at Tey & Khaw dental clinic in Kota Damansara?
