Apart from Q-CAre in tddi, where can one get Damon 3 braces?

Maybe u should check previous posts....

i've been wearing braces for the past 3 years (nx feb will be fourth)
and the doc said i still have a long way to go...
can't wait for the day to actually take it out!!

So, if my teeths is well alligned, but I have a big teeths, all my teeths are BIG !! (same size but BIG)

Can braces reduce the size of teeth? (I am willing to take out a few teeths !!)

Or i got small gap (small, like HALF of a gap ). Anything can do other than braces ?

Any recommendation dentist for Butterwoth or Penang Main Island ?

I found one at Bangsar, having a branch at Taman Maluri. Quoted me ~RM5.6k - RM5.8 for Damon 3.(exclude RM220 diag report x2 (before & after) & any extract) )

I am still seeking if any other dentist is cheaper for Damon 3. Do let me know if you know ya..

Thanks

my bottom teeth are not really straight. top one are just OK. so can i just wear on bottom only? and how much would it cost? n can i pay monthly, meaning paying on evry appointment? or should pay deposit 1st? frm klang valley.

I wore braces many many years ago. Gov clinic. Waiting list was I think a year or so about RM500 tat time. Now dun know increase or not. The service was Ok even though each time I turn up for appointment I need to wait not like private appointment immediate service. But still i felt it was worth it both the price and result.

My gaps (my two big front teeth, like Madonna lor) came back so I decided to go for this crowning cos its just impossible for me to go through the whole process again.

if i apply at gov clinic fr braces, then how long should i wait for my turn?

At last, I installed my braces at Bangsar on last Monday. Just on upper teeth first, the lower will do it on later stage.

it depends, about 2 years at least

depends on the area. for me i registered when i was in form 1 but waited till form 5 only got to wear
after 18 they wont let u register or fix for u anymore

ya. i think gov orthodontic treatment only applicable for students only.

but i'm not sure if u get it done at the army. they do have orthodontic facilities in the army i guess u have to have people working in the army for u to get the treatment

owh. how much total u'll pay for the braces in the bangsar? the deposit? & how much u should pay in evry visit? what clinic is it?

The dentist: How's Orthodontics & Dental Surgery

very much detailed. thanks.. if u would hv braces, i would just have the normal braces, the traditional one.. bcz my teeth are not really in the bad condition.. and i more, its more cheaper than damon3.. do u knw how much it cost for traditional braces at the clinic u go?

I remember they quoted ~RM4800 ++ for full braces. Suggest you walk in. First time consult is FOC.

so far i did my research, the cheapest is 3.5 and normal one is 5k.
just wonderin if u guys do the colorful braces or normal one?

I do the normal one (Damon 3 system). Colourful one is for lady / kids ? According to dentist, the transparent is look nice, more expensive but it take longer time to complete. So, suggest go for normal one and take Damon 3 system if your financial can effort


Some info on Damon system Hope help

The Damon System is not just a new product, it's a whole new way of treating patients. Conventional treatment often requires removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of palatal expanders to make space. This approach is often uncomfortable, takes longer, and can leave a narrower arch and a flat profile. Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve the overall facial result of each patient.

Braces are the beginning, but the system makes the smile.

Certified Damon System doctors combine three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:

1. Damon passive self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties". With Damon tie-less braces you can experience treatment without tightening.

2. Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.

3. A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial aesthetics - usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.


Conventional braces on the left are tied in with elastics, which cause friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.

Stumbled into this thread...
omg i didnt knw there's thing Damon thing...
had my braces when i was in form 3...
let's c...7 years back? gosh it's been so long!!!
did it for arnd 3k and had in on for 3 years...

i had rabbit teeth plus what we usually call "vampire's tooth" at my upper jaw
and there's another tooth located right behind one of my front tooth
yep, my condition was horrible
i couldnt actually bite properly with my front teeth... (eating wantan mee is a horrible process coz the noodles r vry thin)
the orthodontist told me that he would need to extract 4 of my teeth, "expand" my upper jaw, and of course there were many other processes

after the braces were removed, i waited for 1 week for d retainer to be done
and during tht period my front teeth already started to move!
my 2 front teeth kinda moved a lil in front
the orthodontist then tried to kinda forcefully push em back and pushed on the retainer
i chose the transparent retainer, broke it and got the metal 1

and now, after so many years, i still nid 2 wear a retainer at night coz the damn teeth keeps movin'

OMG.. after so many year, the teeth still can moving ? Hmm..so troublesome..

the transparent retainer easy to broke ? caused by drop down? since it wear on night time at home, why the retainer need transparent ? (Sorry, i don't know how it look like )
