Hello. I'm interested to get brace within this year as I've been longing to do it since young. Coz my teeth is not in a good order
I've received lots of different feedbacks from my friends,some said not pain some said pain until cannot eat. Well,I do understand that there are pain but i just wanted to know how pain is the level of pain. Unbearable till cannot sleep at night? Cannot even move the jaw?
All feedbacks are welcome. Thanks

Hmm..understood. But putting on braces means put it on both up and down? I saw got a friend of mine,she said the dentist tighten her upper teeth 1st then later on only do the lower part. It is to lessen the pain doing that way? Before doing braces,the dentist will pluck out some of your teeth right? It is the last teeth,the bigger ones? Coz recently I have 2 new grown teeth at the last corner there,senget ones How to cabut oh..painful>.< And how much do u paid at the 1st sessions? Pay in 1 go or pay it everytime u visited the dentist? Thank you for the helping tips,at least i know

1) erm... as far as I know need to put it both up and down...
2)as far as the tightening upper first, then only the lower 1... I think it's basically depend on the dentist.. but I'll rather have both sekaligus... pain sekali faster finish...
3) if extraction is needed, it depends loh... but most of my friends all also took out the wisdom tooth, the big ones at the back, but last time when I consu;lt the dentist, if I decided to take other braces type (non damon 3) he say extract the tooth that next to our gigi taring... 2 up 2 down...

about the payment.. as for me : (Damon 3)

1) X-RAY + moulding = dunno how much dy.. I think RM300 ++
2) Confirm want to have braces : RM750
3) Before putting on the brackets (they call it bonding process) : another RM750
4) Monthly instalment : RM310
anyway, I think it's the best if u just go consult the dentist lah... whether to extract or not... or put braces on upper teeth only or adjust alternately... u can ask him / her... they know best... coz it's their profession ma... we here can give semangat only....

Ohh,pain sekaligus pun a good idea wor. Hehe As long it is bearable pain for me,scared but still wana do it>.<
Ya,will consult dentist later on. Yah,any good recommendable dentist for braces? I've already requested to apply for gov but was rejected since I'm already passed they ages limits . So now the only choice is private dentist lor. What is the different between Damon 3 & Innovation? I don't know anything about this,outdated me
