Added on April 28, 2011, 12:36 pmnikki have u de-brace? how long to take out the screw? months or can onli take out after braces? and how long for doctor to implant screw?

he took it out and repositioned it. nope, both the screws are still there. trust me, I'm a chicken when it comes to pain, but you will realize you got no choice but to go through it for a better appearance. no pain no gain lah darling !

WOOT! any ortho dentist to recommend ?

Near PJ area. . thanks.

and i wanna know the steps or anything new before visiting ortho dentist. like example : no soft drinks or curry before visit them haha.

hello.. im new in braces too.. just got my braces at Dr How, on 9 Nov 2010..and of coz, thanks to this forum, i read every pages throughly before i went to Dr How..LOL.. thanks guy for sharing!

haha, yeah! so you know, it was crazy during reading..
as far as my progress is concerned, im having an elastic for my side tooth to come out. and according to Dr Raymond, my next appointment, the elastic can be taken off and he will use some sort of wire to make my alignment stays firm. not sure what kind of wire that is.

anyway, nikki, does the doctor said when can you debrace?

hello guys,

one question. if the wire is out of the bracket:(, should i go to Dr How tomorrow? coz my next appointment is on 18 May, which is 11 days later.

im done v my braces.. not pain at all.. in the end, doc welcome me to the braces world with beautiful smile.. now on transfer pic ... will upload soon
Ta dah... sorry for the ugly face..

sis advised me take panadol b4 zzz. so that tomolo i able to eat something...

anybody had experience cant consume food after putting on braces?

mengher
haha, i had ulcer before as well. use dental wax, it helps a lottttt!!

actually, a lot of things you can eat. like, tofu, fish, egg(all type of egg, fried egg, steam egg, etc), kui tiao, mi hun, mee, spaghetti, milk, juices, etc)

my fav food since nov till now is FISH and TOFU! haha!! oh ya, i used to drink fresh blended fruit juice as well. coz "telan" is not good for stomach, hard to digest and it turns out, i faced constipation. after drinking juices, oh great! my life is back to normal! haha!

know what. after i went braces, straight away i need to take photo for some sort of application. then only i realised, i dont know to smile with braces. and no doubt, my photos came out extremely ugly because of my weird mouth/smile..

why do you need screw? is it because you have gummy smile?

normally screw was installed together with the braces or doctor will see if I need it or not during my braces progress?


Yes... Usually screws installation is after braces. That's when doctor know whether u need or not.

no la...coz dr,how said i got hereditary protruding gum..so it cause my side profile not very good..if i wan perfect result..den he said put screw will be better:)and faster...

So sad. Everyone ignored my questions :'(

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.

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?

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

just wanna ask...my bracket fall down today and i already fix it..by dr.ramond..but the nurse..burn my bracket...bcoz stil got glue up thr..so now 2 of my bracket bcome black color..so UGLY..
anyone of u experience it before?of when ur bracket fall down..how u guys get rid of the glue?

i dunno why they wanna burn my bracket..now it is black color:(

i scared regret is becoz i might get nothing in this two years (or more) period. Dr said i need to go for jaw surgery if want perfect result.
But i choose not, so he will only try to save my teeth/jaw.
