for ur info
standard braces prices is around 4k -5k. If done at hospital, under
the subsidy system which u queue for 2-3 yrs, its ard 2 k
plus
Other private clinic if they are none specialist, charge around
3k+
Specialist clinic (meaning ornodonthics) usually charge 4k+
But all these can be paid by monthly installments. The diff is some
clinics will wan u to put 500 in the 1st three visit meaning total
1.5k initial payment, while some is 1k initial payment.
Aniway doing braces hor, if ur teeth is overcrowded, u need to
pluck out around 2-4 pre molar or even molar if ur molar got a lot
of decay depending on circumstances. Normal braces is cheaper than
those ceramic ones
Ceramic ones means tooth colour braces. Cost 500 more per row. And
this common questiion, can i do braces on top or bottom only. the
ans is no.
Braces for young adults will take 2-2.5 yrs, then need to wear
retainers for 1 yr
During braces, need to maintain good orl hygience. Some specialist
clinc will only do braces for u, if want cleaning, he will ask u go
other dental for cleaning.
I dunno why u can find 2k+ for braces if nt by govt subsidy. Think
u very lucky, but does the doc has a gd reputation?
1.5k... em u DIY ba, use pliers....
one thing i wan to ask is, if i got a crown on my molar, can the
molar still be moved if put braces? or will it spoilt the
crown?
I haven put on braces yet coz i got troubematic tooth. My left
lower molar did a root canal and a RE-root canal with a crown, when
flossing still a bit bit pain. My 2nd right lower molar has
extensive fillings n sensitive to COld. My right 1st top molar got
extensive filling too.. Coz my molar r quite big, i wonder can
pluck out them anot... my premolar are quite gd lei.. its gonna be
a challenge for the dentist.
the cb root canal really waste a lot of my money. My advice is if u
need a root canal treatment, find a specialist. Mine was done by a
GP, then 2 yrs later, i developed abcess, n live with the pain for
another 2 yrs b4 i did a free root canal at the army. but army hor,
unless ur officers fight for ur appintment, its impossible to get
an appointment at the MMI. They give me an initial waiting list of
2 yr initially. i say i ORD liao that time.... Aniway due to a lack
of good dentist and specialist there, my root canal drag on for 4
months before it was completed. Further their appointment booking
system sucks got one case they cancelled my appointement, i ask
them so when is my nxt. they say they will put me on waiting list
again. i Sibei dulan, where got such thing one. So i get my M.O who
luckily was a nice reservisit doctor at that time help me make the
call to them.
Army Dental is go by rank one. u must know how to pull strings.
When i call to make appointment, someitme i heard the backgropund
asking what rank m i.. to be honest if wasnt for my LOW SLAVERY pay
of non combat corporal, i will not have to go thru this daunting
process in the 1st place
Its not the doctors at mmi who are no good, but the whole system
sucks. Why dont the army do something abt the lack of doctors sia.
Somemore whenever i heard the army praise themself on how gd their
medical service ah, i felt like vomiting....
