Hello, just joining Bracesians club! Having 2 protruding front teeth (aka rabbit teeth) but the rest are okay and aligned.

Doing my traditional braces with Klinik Wong and Lee at Sungai Chua, Kajang. Initially I thought RM 5000 is for all, then only I discovered it didn't cover for the X-ray and model (RM 300 total) , 2 teeth removal (RM 100) and scaling (RM 55). Also, when the braces are removed I need to wear a pair of retainers which costs RM 200 each.

Just sharing here so that for those who want to go for braces, please ask clearly for the total fees involved.

Since my top braces and bottom braces bite to each other, the doctor had put a bite block cement on my wisdom teeth. Now I only left with a few teeth to bite. Any suggestion? Thanks!

which are your few teeth left? I left 4 wisdom teeth to bite my food only, whenever the doctor tightens the braces.
FYI, i have 32 teeth including 4 wisdom teeth, 4 pre-molars were extracted prior putting on braces, which means now i have 28 teeth only. out of 28 teeth, 24 teeth kena locked by braces, left 4 wisdom teeth to eat biscuit or slightly harder food.

i cant imagine those ppl who got their wisdom teeth extracted / wisdom teeth not grown up yet (28 teeth in total), and doctor still extracts their 4 teeth....then only left 24 teeth in the mouth. if all 24 teeth are put on braces...wah la~~ no extra teeth to bite biscuitsĀ  rclxms.gif

I have 2 pre-molars extracted. Now only left with 4 wisdom teeth to bite...but after a few days now I am starting to get use with it, though I do chew at a slower speed. With braces on I am always the last to finish my meal sweat.gif
