Hi there, im using the Damon 3 braces and my ortho is Dr.Jagjit Singh.
Cost me RM 7000 including retainer.
No extraction needed for my case.
The Damon 3 system normally doesn't involve extractions unless ur teeth condition is real bad.
this system causes less pain and treatment time shortened by 6mths..hope this helps =)

Dr.Jagjit has 3 clinics around Subang Jaya, OUG and Klang.(depends on your preferences)
So if you want to see him, the tel no is 03-56316884.
Make sure you set the appointment as soon as possible, this ortho of mine is a super busy man.
His schedule is always damn packed =)

This price was quoted to me just last month, October 11
Just had my braces on for one month one week..
Nevertheless, i can c some changes in the upper canine =)

Will be meeting him on dec 6 for first adjustment =)

Yup, agreed with KentCP..
Xrays are needed to actually see whether there are ny hidden teeth as well as ur teeth's alignment.

One thing I've noticed for sure is that,the orthodontist needs an Xray for those who wanted to put on braces because one of the major problem caused while having orthodontic treatment is the position of your wisdom tooth and it will caused alot of problems if its malpositioned or are impacting on other tooth.

In my case,I'm using the Damon 3 System. Yup, it cost a lot more than the traditional braces and i do not have to go through any extractions.Experience only a lil' discomfort as compared to my friends =)

hope this info helps!!

Have a great day =)

Hi All,

I've just started a blog on my bracing journey =)

I wanted to pen down all the details on the progress of my braces so that I can look back and track at the progress of my braces before I forget totally on the details of it =)

I hope my blog will serve as a platform for us to exchange thoughts as well as an encouragement platform for others to get braces done...I've procrastinate way too long (5 years to be exact) before getting my braces done once and for all..

Do drop by my blog if you guys are free and give me some comments on how i can improve my blog more =)

Have a nice day people =)

Hi Kentcp,

Seems like we are using the same type of braces.

How many months have u got ur braces on? =) how's ur progress???

Hi Leng-Leng,

Nope. In my case, no extraction is required.From what i understand from my ortho, he mentioned that there's normally no extraction needed if you use the Damon system. But that varies with different individuals who uses the Damon type. Extraction will be needed if your teeth condition is wayyy to crowded..This is to make space for your teeth to move.

My ortho says he'll see the progress of the teeth on the lower jaw in the next appointment. (cos i have crowded teeth on the lower jaw as u can see in my blog). might need to go thru extraction if there's no progress at all...i hope i dun have to go through extraction =( im scared of it hehe...

but anyway Leng-Leng,when is ur extraction?? Do keep us posted with your condition and progress ya =)

Take care and have a nice day =)

Hi Leng-Leng

No worries.. I believe ur othodontist knows what's best for you and your teeth =)

As mentioned earlier, different people will have different kind of orthodontic treatment.

So, r u going to get the Damon type braces?=) mine is the same as Kentcp.

Sorry ya...just got the chance to follow up with this thread after a while not checking into this forum =)

Anyway...no worries on the extractions this thurs ok..we are all here to support you =)

hehe...

Hi Kentcp,

Same here...my ortho says no extraction is needed in my case BUT...he stil wana see my progress in the next appointment...cos as mentioned, he says my lower jaw is a lil' bit crowded...

wow!!ur teeth is straight and nice edi =) im so jealous! =P i baru three months only...haiz...still have one year plus to go...

Kent, i realized that the teeth on my lower jaw are a lil' slanted a bit to the left (can be seen in my blog)...did u experience the same thing?
Scary ler suddenly see my teeth shifting...

hehe...i guess all of us are super excited with each other's progress.

that's what this forum is for...to support each other and to share info..

to be honest, a few days before i had my braces on, i found this thread =) so glad to know that a lot of ppl is going thru the same bracing journey as me =)

i totally agree with white tulip...i used to be shy to smile with my teeth visible before braces were put on..but after braces were on, i showed them off proudly hehe =) smile and smile and smile with my teeth and braces visible to the whole wide world haha...

after all, the more u hide it,the more ppl will find out...so might as well show it off and ppl will tend to forget that u've had braces on =) it's just a phase that others will forget real soon hehe..

leng-leng and nikkidateddy, eat kenyang kenyang only extract =) hope u guys are doing well with the extraction..keep us posted =)

cheers people...have a great day ahead

hehe kent...i wana stay low profile ler =)

Yeah lo leng-leng...3 batang gigi?? sounds weird to me =P
normally ppl extract 4 lo..

hmm...its ok...ur ortho knows what is best for u =)

Yup...No worries bugsy =)
u can still do whatever exercise u want..
But after my braces were put on, i'm more careful when i'm running on the treadmill...takut terjatuh only =)
and you might just wana lower down ur treadmill speed =)

other than that,it's definitely OK to continue going to gym...

Leng-leng,good to know that u're doing well with ur extraction

take care ya..

and to all,HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR =)

Agree with green apple...i still drink coffee as usual, and i still drink my soft drinks too =)
Just take good care of ur oral hygiene,it should be fine =)

Hehe Leng Leng,
Welcome to the club.
Dun be too nervous though. I was freaking the day before I had my braces on.And to my disbelief,the process of glueing the brackets and stuff doesn't involve pain at all..Pain or I would rather say the feeling of "tightness" due to the effect of flimsy wires only kicks in the 3rd day.Anyway, no worries about that too =)

Just think of the day ur braces will be off (even though it might be too early =P)

Take care =)

Hi All,
Yes,I've been super duper busy with work and only managed to drop by now, cos it's Friday and I kinda feel lazy edi hehe =)

First of all, I've not update my braces blog since the last adjustment last Saturday.
My ortho had just changed the ligatures on both my left and right upper canine. He did not do anything to the wire for the lower jaw. I'll be seeing him again in 6 weeks times.

Anyway,it's Friday people..
have a great weekend and Happy V day hehe =)

oh ya,before i forget...leng-leng is going to get her braces tomorrow, am I right?
Leng-leng, do keep us posted!! =)
