QUOTE(yott-chan @ Oct 9 2008, 01:58 PM) haha maybe not yet? jkjk  *touch wood*aww i cant wait to get my teeth done like u guys!  my first appointment is next 2 weeks  QUOTE(martiolativo @ Oct 9 2008, 06:24 PM) fiza_love: Welcome to the club lol..i hope not~! i did not pay thousands of RM to get ulcer~!!  . My ulcer came out a few days after putting up braces. For your case, it might come out tomorrow or the day after  I guess it depends on your condition. Initially I used the medicine for ulcer, it really works! Now it's already OK, no more ulcer. But I'm putting braces on the lower part next week.. no more ulcers hopefully..   well, good for you yott-chan!!  what type of braces did u choose?This post has been edited by fiza_love: Oct 10 2008, 11:10 AM |

QUOTE(jocsp @ Oct 12 2008, 12:31 AM) hello all, i'm doin my braces at seksyen 14 pj...near jaya one n digital mall...i'm planning on getting braces but i have phobia visiting the dentist... i would like to know if there are any good dentists around Petaling Jaya which are fairly priced for doing braces.. please let me know.. thank you!  did my braces(damon,not damon 3 though ) at rm2700 and every appointment rm70metal braces with getah one will cost rm1700,every appointment rm70 too.. but basically both will end up cost the same because damon needs less appointment(once every 6-8 weeks).. the metal one needs monthly checkup so every month pun kena bayar rm70 |

QUOTE(yott-chan @ Oct 12 2008, 09:54 AM) harrrrrrrrrr??? wow rm2700.. so cheap! what year u did the braces? last week~2700 is not the full payment la... that is only the braces price... there's xray,and model,and tampal lagi...(i didnt have extraction )and every time appointment still have to pay 70 but i think it is quite cheap because it's not the getah one..

QUOTE(jocsp @ Oct 12 2008, 03:39 PM) hello, there are two dentists at my clinic, dr loo and dr foo.is the dentist friendly? my teeth is actually ok.. it's just that i have a tooth which grew on my upper gums and according to the dentist, she said that i have to wear braces to pull the tooth down. she quoted me RM2700 for the upper jaw only. i'm not sure what type of braces used but she said it's the most basic one.. i'm not sure if this is the market price, that's why i would like to find out more about this.. by the way, the dentist is located inside one utama shopping mall.. any other recommendations people? my dentist is dr loo and he's a gentle dentist(well, for me he is )he always tries his best to answer every question that i asked him... i think 2700 for upper is quite expensive but is it the full payment?do you still need to pay every appointment? and if it the most basic one i think it is the getah one(i dunno what its name actually..hehe )yeah, i think u shud wait for other people's recommendation too.. good luck~! |

So i bought a nutrition program which i drink shake in the morning to fill up my missing vitamins. yaya~same here...i also drink some sorta shake...and cant chew properly too~!Anyway Ronnie, pls update us after your adjustment. OK? Good luck!

QUOTE(green_apple @ October 18, 2008, 9:02 pm) err... I also have those dream leh... but more extreme 1... I dreamt I ate a burger, then I saw all my bracket "terlekat" at the burger!!!  I think maybe we tooooo worried that the bracket might come out... that's why got these kind of dreams??  i think its funny for so many people to have the same bracket-tercabut dream.. |

QUOTE(amiko1 @ Nov 18 2008, 09:28 PM) Mine one is Damon2. I got asked for Damon3, need rm6500. the brackets for damon 2 are fully metal,like traditional braces but it doesnt use rubber bands...Hi fiza_love, I would like to ask what is the different for Damon2 and Damon3? HOw much for the price? the brackets clips rather than using rubber bands to move the teeth... this is how it looks like... for damon 3, the brackets are 40% metal and 60% ceramic so it wins in terms of aesthetic values... i think damon 3 is basically the upgraded version of damon 2... but anyway,here's a pic for better view  sources: Damon 3 Damon 2 and for the pricing yeah, you can check the first page but different clinic charge differently so good luck finding the best dentist~! hope it helps~!  |

my dentist also said that i might need to extract 2 teeth for best result...
but he also said that he's gonna see the movement and teeth alignment first then decide whether to extract or not... come on teeth,move!move!align yourself! i dun want extraction~! |
