Hello.. I'm still new here.. Went to see a dentist in Bangsar. Quoted me Rm6000 for normal metal braces (not the what Damon/ lotus thingy), the real traditional one and the ceramic one, no need to say lor... Rm8500!!! Wah.. So expensive meh?? Excluding extraction...

Luckily I have gone through and roughly know the price in the market.. When I heard..6k.. OMG.. She's definitely over-quoted me..

Added on December 30, 2010, 9:48 pmI have checked out this website http://www.tokyo-kyousei.net/jikan.php?para=flash
It is one of the best dental clinic that I have seen so far though I haven't been there yet when I was in Japan.
If she quoted me so expensive because of such environment.. I can understand
But hers is like... a bit old and yet so expensive.. haih

*the website is in Japanese, though I can not understand, after click click click..can understand a bit lar..

Since everyone says that Dr How is good, I have made an appointment with him end of this month.. bringing my panoramic teeth view X-ray to see him. I did the X-ray on the skull, etc but the previous clinic gave me only the panoramic view . I think he will be frightened with the amount of work that I need to do (I used to have bulimia for years and I understand one of consequences is gigi rosak). That's why no gut to see dentist coz for sure kena marah.. Haih.. Now, I recovered from it and feel that I need to do something to my teeth. Sometimes I wonder who I should see, dentist or orthodontist.. I have decided to put on braces when I did filling the last visit at other clinic, the dentist korek the cavity at upper incisor (overlapping tooth) like archaeologist korek fossil, pity her and kesian for myself how to maintain for the rest of my life..
Surprisingly the previous dentist doesn't understand what is bulimia and she was giving me the facial impression like... apa tu..
I hope I am making the right decision to see the right person?

Thanks tomatonz ^^
In fact I have changed 2 dentists.. Not to say I'm fussy or particular but with expectation. It is about health. I'm observant especially small little tiny things, probably due to my job nature gua..
The reason I'm hesitating between to see a dentist or an orthodontist is due to the experience that I had with the 2 dentists.
First one I met, she did explain to me but I can feel that she's money oriented than patient oriented especially when she smiles (ya...I want your money.. that kind of grin). Ya la, I understand everything also about money. Then she asked me whether I plan to do braces, I answered yes. She checked on my teeth alignment, etc then on the day itself did X-ray and molding.. Not even fixed me yet to see the orthodontist.
The second one, the korek fossil dentist. I told her that I understand that I need to remove the premolar and wisdom tooth that can not be diselamatkan anymore and put on braces since the front overlapping tooth causing so much trouble and my lower case got another overlapping tooth also. Then she answered me - hmm.. this one.. you have to make an appointment with another in house dentist to decide whether to do root canal treatment, crowning or bridge. I was like What another in house dentist? How many dentist I have to see in the same clinic? You are not dentist meh? What are the fields within your expert? Doing filling only?? I told her about braces then she gave me another answer. Beh tahan.. I did filling two times under her also I ended up my shirt wet geh.. Really wet one ar... Water from my mouth flows to my back. One big patch damp on my back!
Since they are qualified dentist or orthodontist, I don't care which uni they graduated, coz I trust their professionalism.
But sometimes...It is saddening to let me see so many tiny little things which ended up as FLAWS in them.
I hope.. Dr How would give me a better impression and his professionalism end of this month.. Never looking forward to see a dentist/ orthodontist but now I'm looking forward to see him. Hahahha..

^^thank you kentcp
Saw your pics in previous post, I would say, he has done a very good work on you.
If Dr How is someone who has expectation on his work, he would do the same when choosing Dr Raymond.. Means arr.. This Dr Raymond must have met his standard.
Comparing to yours (before the treatment) and now I'm looking at the mirror, mine is not very severe, just the alignment lari, front teeth not in the centre and slightly overlapping the neighbour.. don't know where they planned to go also My gigi also weird weird dei.. I heard people usually have 4 wisdom tooth but mine.. only 3.. Cari in the X-ray also don't have..
I don't mind if the following work is going to be done by Dr Raymond coz at least Dr How has convinced me in the first place and someone is good (on par to his standard) will be doing the followup work.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!

Ok ok.. Not a problem.. If a person like me can say YES, HE IS GOOD means... he's definitely good ^^
Will keep everyone updated about it.. Oh.. Pricing as well.. Hahahah..
Have a nice day too! ^^
