You can get a quote first .. those prices shown in this forum are full braces..

Leng_Leng: I am not sure on the prices..

ya.. i think damon 3 is about 5.6k~5.8k..  Which location you are ? Where is your doc?

Not sure... My next appt will hav to do extraction liao... scared  

I see... like my case, so far Dr How didnt say anything about installing screw... dont know in the future... hopefully my case wont involve any screw... screws are so expensive right... if im not mistaken, 1 screw might cost u RM360... just imagine if u need 4 screws to be installed for upper and lower jaw... 

Dont worry nikki and leng_leng, things will be fine... in the name of divine and confidence... be tough ya... good luck! 

supposedly my appt date is next week. But i changed it to another week later.
Leng_Leng, we both have to be tough ok...

A Handbag in KLCC....hmmm so rich...
i can only afford a plastic bag in KLCC... spent in burger kind perhaps.... kakaka

Huhuhu... but if u allergy to painkillers like me, u have to pay extra... mine, i had to pay RM184 for 2 teeth... 
Haihhhhhhhhh...

My bite stopper? I didnt get it replaced. Dr. How says its fine to keep it as it is. So...like that lor.

Wow, i started my treatment b4 you and u alreday had ur teeth extracted. I think your treatment will complete way b4 me. But no matter what i'm glad. Cos my 3 months treatment now allowed me to witness the progress. Tho they are not well aligned yet but i see major improvements.

Even until now when i look at my before treatment pictures, i still get a shock on how horrible my teeth was. I regret that i only accept the treatment now at my age. That is my only regret.

Since the day i installed my 'new accessories', I never live a day not loving them. And i love the pain cos i know they are doing the job. Hahaha...

White_tulip, debrace ah... not sure le.. i asked Dr. that day.. he said" you are happy with your current condition already ah ?" i just smile and answer.."no la.. i just feel troublesome when having food..all the food stuck at my braces".. that's all. (my mind thinking, let you adjust to the perfect possible la..) i think may be few more month or a year.. i don't know le..

Nikki, no worry. For sure i am the older one.. haha..

Leng leng, you are so late still online !! wah lau eh!!

Bite stopper is basically a hard clay to stick it at either ur upper or lower jaw to prevent ur upper and lower from hitting the brackets.

I think not everyone need it. Doctor did it for me but i crushed it when i sleep and when i eat. But after getting it checked, doctor says i dont need it anyway.

with this bite stopper, ur upper and lower wont get to touch each other at all. Cos it creates space in between. That is why many of us find it hard to eat with the bite stopper.

I've been wearing braces for 14 weeks now. And i see major improvement... seriously. Unfortunately i dont hv my pictures files now, or else i an upload it t show you. But actually i did upload pictures before... U try to back track this thread?   Edit: You may check post number #398 & #519
But my condition now are even better than when those pictures were taken. 

I shy to tell my age la... Just very old compared to many of you la... 

Tap on Kentcp's shouder. Also tap on leng leng's shoulder...
Actually i had a broken relationship this year too. Then i stood up and swear that i want to look beautiful. So i started on research about braces. Meanwhile my bf came back to me and asked for a patch back. i accepted him back. But that doesnt stop me from getting braces. I told him tat i wanted to get it done. He supported me. In fact he said he wanted to get it when he is able to.

Kentcp, i truly feel your pain too.    Anyway, i'm loving my braces.  Even bioweapon83 also complimented on my progress... hahaha (i take that as a compliment, btw) when it comes to takin pictures, my teeth are shown aligned in pictures. Which i totally happy for it...

To bioweapon83,
The current technology? I'm using In-Ovation Clippy C (ceramic) braces. Its the same as Damon3 which Kentcp is using.

Nikki's In-Ovation is clear ceramict ype..the bracket is transparent, so not easy to notice from a distance. Prices also a bit expensive than Damon. THe Damon 3MX that using by me is full metal without ceramic. http://www.ormco.com/index/damon-products-damon3mx-2
Nikki,
Yes.. from your recent photo, we can see your improvement already !! it is noticeable ! Thanks for your support We are just living in reality world.

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 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 =)

Next Wed. after work will go... Maybe i should eat first b4 extraction?

Haha.. you can see her photo ma..(if you find the way)

Jayyen is a pretty gal Don't ask me how ya.. unless she give me permission to say so..
