yeah as kentcp said, fill up ur stomach before appointment. Eat as much as you can.

No pain during the process, only the injection like semut gigi...after that you dun even realize ur teeth was being plucked! After that juz bite the cotton ball until it stops bleeding.. for me the bleeding part is more geli cos ur mouth is so numb and ur saliva will mix with ur blood and you cant control it "teralir" from ur mouth...

Dont worry too much alright? Most of us did it. We're not lying. No pain at all during the process. When Doctor pulling my teeth, we were chit chatting, next thing i know, my teeth were out.

We girls can deal with it, so can u...

hey..do u all heard 舌侧矫正器before?go google search for it..

It's call lingual braces. Google it to read in english if you want to. However, lingual is more expensive. About 15k i think?
And because that the braces are installed inside, it tends to scratches your tongue more.

I heard that if one is having protruding teeth and it will become more serious when getting older.. always wanted to ask my ortho but always forgot...

is this true?

If you keep wearing container, i believe nothing much to worry even when you are old..

Kent, Retainer u meant?
Hahaha.... Yah, after de-braced, we will still need to wear retainers to maintain the shape or else, it will run back to the old shape.

However, if leng leng is asking about if without braces, will protruding teeth get worst? I think yes it will. Cos you know how our wisdom tooth will grow and will start pushing away the rest of our teeth. Somehow or other, it will affect the rest of our teeth also. B4 i got braces, i realised that my teeth are getting worst bcos of my wisdom tooth.

yay! finally de-braced ad! but *sigh* the retainers make me talk like Jamie Oliver XD

haha container pulak...yaya i was asking if without wearing braces...

anybody here sudah de-braced? need to ask a ques

nikki, leng leng, haha.. pai sei blur blur ady...

konspiracy, Just post your question la.. i believe some of our ex-bracesian will responses to you..

Er me? I just took it off 2 months ago.

is it normal for the retainers to hurt a bit at the molars where it hooks? kinda finding the sensation a bit annoying lol

Oops. Wanted to help but I guess I could not.

My retainers isn't the one most people are using. I'm using the hard transparent plastic type taking the shape of my teeth

oh no worries then

ahh those. one of my friends is using that too

my upper lips tend to become very rough, dry and flakey nowadays leh..

anyone has the same experience with me?

i think it has nothing to do with ur braces... probably its the weather or u're heaty?

I get that too sometimes especially b4 i get braces.. sometimes, even once a month... just drink more water, apply lip balm when neccessary. it will be ok within few days.

talking about lotion for skin, nikki is the pro..

she's talking bout lip balm la.. takkan u apply lotion on ur lips ah?

Yayaya....Was talking about lip balm...Suddenly he says lotions. Hahaha.. Anyway, bravo Kent!! Still remember my fetish with lotions. But recently i stop buying edy. Cos too many to finish and damn broke...

So leng_leng, is ur lips better?
