phew...    great novelists are talking...hehe

I had my upper part fixed last month and now waiting for the lower part which is going to be on this coming 17th. I met Dr. How twice already and he took pictures after fixing my teeth. Is he going to take pictures on every appointment? If so, will he print the pictures out and let us keep them? I remember last time the receptionist said she forgot to print the pictures of my 1st visit. She'll give the pictures later on my next visit.

Another thing, how come I don't have dental wax? It's not in the package 
I paid ~RM80 for the package which includes:
1 x Ortho brush
2 x Pearl Drops toothpaste
1 x Oral B mouth rinse
5 x Futuristic brush-like toothpicks
1 x Medicine for ulcer

Or I need to buy it separately?

Thanks.

Nikki,dats a very very good idea.I Got my braces the next day after i went for consultation.Cuz i dont have enuff convenience to get from cyberjaya to bangsar back and forth often.So i missed out alot of good food that im surely goin to miss (like three days ago i felt like eating chocolate but i stopped my self T.T ..bt who cares,i want to lose weight! haha) So eat eat and eat!! haha

Aiight,just call me Ronnie btw. hehe Baby_Boi's jst a nick.Im feeling pretty good now,either my teeth moved a little,or i am used to the pressure feeling.Chewing still is accompanied with a little bit of Aching on the teeths far behind.But i can eat alot of stuff now,but i have to have them in pieces. hehe but overall.im okay now,jst dealing with the ulcers,and getting use to food stuck in my braces..grrr.When i clench,my teeth felt loose and jelly like haha.

My treatment period,is estimated to be around 1.5 yrs. Hope itll be faster than that. huhuh Fingers Crossed.My teeth condition.I dont know how to describe it.I Have some pictures here of me,wayy before the braces.And with the braces on. ..Even in the pics with braces,u can see my teeth before treatment,cuz i just got my braces for 1 week++ haha..

Totally lovin the transparency!

Ist and 2nd pics are with braces,the third one is a week before braces.u can see the upper teeth only huhuh,but the lower ones are major too..protruding and sum r overlapping bt slighty (jst like the upper ones) But that one buck tooth(upper teeth)is seriously pissing me off.But i still can close my lips tho,so it isnt too bucky hahaha..

Owh and uh Ken,u hv the screws rite? can u tell me all about them? what to expect,how they r,how they r placed etc etc..im scared of getting them (two reasons,the PAIN and the COST)

ive got sumthing to share:

fiza_love: Welcome to the club . My ulcer came out a few days after putting up braces. For your case, it might come out tomorrow or the day after    I guess it depends on your condition. Initially I used the medicine for ulcer, it really works! Now it's already OK, no more ulcer. But I'm putting braces on the lower part next week.. no more ulcers hopefully.. 

NikkiDaTeddy: I usually apply the med right before I go to bed so that I don't really taste it..hehe. The weird thing about the med is, it says POISON, DO NOT EAT. Weird right? I guess tasting a bit is fine 

for mine,

consultation on first day- RM15

X-ray- doc asked me to do it at TungShin cuz it's cheaper than in the clinic- Tungshin RM45, clinic RM75

scaling?-free

extracted 4 teeth-RM60 each

braces-RM3800, RM1000 deposit, RM200 the following months

toothbrush n others-RM21

medicine, dental wax-free

what type of braces did you get?
