been reading this thread with great interest

just want to ask any of us here have their wisdom teeth not yet finished growing? like halfway like that, can do damon 3 ma?

icic, thanks kentcp

adui, i cannot wait lar, i'm already 24
was thinking to do damon 3 so no need to extract the 4 teeth, and my wisdom teeth take very long time to grow also

maybe i'll ask dentist first lor what to do hopefully can

oh icic, tq green_apple

kentcp, you're currently using normal braces or damon 3? u know quotation for damon 3 in How's Orthodontics?

so far i think cheapest that been recommended by forumers here is the one in kepong, RM4500+ for damon 3

tee hee, can't wait to wear braces. currently still saving until enough money

btw, you guys pay lump sum or visit-by-visit? But still need to pay half or some money first right? Usually how many %?

opps, my bad, didn't read thoroughly (>.<)

so basically 1st and 2nd visit need to pay around 1k. I guess few months more to go until I save enough money!

wish me luck

Zestful Shoppe, really helpful information especially for me Currently I'm still in the midst of saving money and look around for potential dentist to install Damon System

Do you mind PMing the the address and contact number of the dentist?

So you opted for Damon System right? Is it the Damon 3? Or there are many types of Damon?

ahaha syok meh pluck teeth? that's the scariest thing for me going to dentist, pluck teeth, feels my life incomplete so far since i was born, i've never kena pluck teeth by dentist yet, touchwood

that's why i choose damon system, no need to pluck teeth

Hi all,

I've called a dentist in Kepong, which so far has the most wallet-friendly price for Damon 3 System. RM5000 including X-RAY. (so I've been told by the receptionist when I called them. Will inquire more with them later)

Finally I found the cheapest in town so far. But I can't give comment on their service/dentist knowledge or so forth coz I haven't meet him yet. Only based on forums/internet recommendation saying that he's not bad and has the cheapest price for braces.

I'm going to set appointment with him 2 more weeks as the dentist's schedule kinda full, maybe because a lot of people coming to him for braces huh

Anyways, you guys feel free to call him and share any more info.

harrrrrrrrrr??? wow rm2700.. so cheap! what year u did the braces?

Hi guys,

Went to my first appointment this morning, had an X-RAY + teeth-moulding(?) + consultation.

I like the dentist, he seems very friendly and fun. Maybe because I was the first patient of the day, so he was energetic?

Is it me, or the teeth-moulding feels fun?

I like it when my teeth got sinked into the clay. Cold yet comfortable

Can't wait for next appointment

omg poke fingers also can bleed?

then inner cheek is super thinner than fingers, then.. then..

next monday is my appt, now scary lar hear the poking wire

went for my second appointment to extract teeth too!

i've never extracted tooth before, as my teeth are all healthy, never knew it felt soooooooooooo sayang to pluck it out

after extract 2 teeth on right side, half of my face numb and swollen haha cannot talk properly, cannot close mouth, eat also dribbling hahaha

next week going to extract another 2 at left side pulak, surely i'll feel sayang again

ya, the dentist told me too, it's unethical to pluck out healthy teeth, but since i need to give some space for front teeth to move inside when i wear braces later, have to pluck out lor..

lol i like how u think!! yea, me too keep trying to think, no need sayang the teeth, pluck it out to have straight teeth
true2
i still have the teeth with me, was thinking to have a burial for the teeth

afternoon all

just pluck out 2 more teeth and installed braces today. the numbness still there, cannot close mouth coz cheek muscle frozen haha! when drink water i dribbled all over the place haha luckily not in public

i feel the pressure from the braces, nothing uncomfortable, still bearable

now hopefully i won't have much ulcers! i hate ulcers, it makes everything goes wrong, same as stomach ache! anything also cannot do!

haha! my lubang also close quite slow! but it's ok, i don't really mind the gum lubang as long as my teeth cantik

second week of me wearing braces, so far so good, no ulcers although i use normal braces

oh btw, what brand of toothbrush u guys use? i'm using the doctor gave me, no brand, chapalang i think.. so thinking to buy more reputable brand, oral-b or something.. any ideas?

me me

ya, a bit painful on first day, but its bearable

dont worry lah, won't die one.. u can see, even kids also can wear, then we adult no problem ma..

My 7th month of wearing traditional braces and I'm loving every moment! I don't have before pic, but here is my current teeth:



I had protruding teeth, like malay call it "jongang" and couldn't cut foods with my front teeth (bite gap?). But just after 5~7 months wearing, no more!
Can't wait to tighten every month, although a bit painful, but when I see my teeth become more and more aligned, I think it's worth it!
