hi
1. for list of orthodontists in m'sia http://www.mao.org.my/
2. i think the well known in kl is David Specialist Orthodontics http://www.orthodontics.com.my/index.htm, now they hv braches in d'sara perdana
3. good site http://www.archwired.com/

i just wearing the braces last week, but so expensive since mine is clear self-ligating, not sure the brand mabye gac in-ovation, & the bracket is smaller than damon......i've some missing teeth due to extraction & by nature (impacted), so got no choice, hv to wear braces...very shy to talk to ppl cause no front lower teeth & have to wait for 1.5 to 2 years until the gap close....


Regards

dear sorry for the late reply,
hmmm its quite costly, i've asked the doc for the braces brand, its equivalent to GAC Innovation and from the same manufacturer but named Tomy(for Japan market) and cost rm9500, normally you have to pay 40% after the bonding (excluding extraction, moulding, xray, scaling), and rm250 for the monthly treatment. Maybe its cheaper at other clinic, i'm not sure but mine done at DentalPro Bangsar but the ortho only available on Tuesday. Recommended for working adult , just swipe your card like mine

urs is clear/ceramic bracket or metal? i think now they come with damon3....



This would be helpful for all the bracesian:

1.GUM Travel tootbrush - cost about rm15++ at JJ farmacy One Utama
2.Dentiste toothpaste - try this and you will like the feeling (no bad saliva odour in the morning if you brush b4 sleep)
3.PERROT Intradental brush - some pharmacy sold this, come with many
4.Oral-B ORTHO brush - this one maybe cost about RM7.50
5.Oral-B SuperFloss - for those who like to floss


regards

ooo metal is cheaper than clear bracket, n i think the GACInovation bracket is smaller compared to damon, but they work the same, self-ligating so no painful ligature attached to it. n normally people opt for clear/ceramic braces for aesthetic reason.

the floss come with the end stif threader, try it out http://www.oralb.com/us/products/product.a...&pid=superfloss

pierrot intradental normally cost rm25, but watson also hv this type of intradental brush but pierrot seems better...dont know-lah never tried watson brand b4....

regards

tesco - better price i think....cant remember the price...but cheaper than watson/guardian, not sure abt giant n carrrefour... this is the time for u to try different flavour of toothpaste & mouthwash
