Biggest decision...

I've post a thread about braces before... but now, again, aku nak express about what im going to do soon, very soon and this time around, i really mean it ;p

To be frank, memang aku agak seram nak buat decision ni, bukan sebab apa, aku takut untuk rasa sakit bila extraction!! It takes years.. aku rasa dah 6 years dah kot last aku X-Ray untuk braces but aku postponed sampai dah masuk 2010!! Okay Okay, let's go straight to the point.. This coming Monday, I'm gonna have an appointment with my dentist again

Chai Dental & Impant Centre.. (this is the only dentist yang I trust & I like).. and I really really like the new doctor (dulu father dia, Dr Chai yang treat me).. Now, Dr Raymond Chai., anak dia pulak.. Chai Dental ni ada kat Bangsar jugak, kat Jalan Bangkung, but aku pergi yang kat Jalan Pinang, dalam Wisma UOA (lobby clinic ni yang ala-ala macam spa)

Okay, Selepas hampir 30 minit, sesi bersoal jawab dengan Doctor tentang braces, how's the pain's like, dan sebagainya, finally..... I've decided....! Maka procedure awal bermula, Dr Raymond starts his work... (he's the most detail doctor i ever met)

Braces.. Hmm... Sebelum ni, Im thinking of beberapa jenis braces lah, antaranya ceramic braces - aku suka braces ni sebab colourless, dan tak nampak sangat yang kita ni pakai braces tapi rupanya baru tahu yang ceramic braces ni tak tahan, kalau nak reposition nanti mudah pecah .. akhirnya aku buat keputusan untuk pakai Damon system braces (Latest is Damon Q, look at the photo).. banyak sebab kenapa I choose Damon Q untuk braces..

1) Damon Q ni, adalah braces yang paling kecik bracket nya... so tak crowded mulut, bila kita tutup mulut pun, orang tak tahu yang kita sebenarnya ada braces ;)
2) Damon Q ni, mengurangkan jangkamasa pemakaian braces berbanding braces biasa
3) kekerapan kita pi visit doctor untuk adjustment pun kurang (estimated 3 bulan sekali)
4) Self ligating..
5) senang nak bersihkan gigi
6) bentuk dan cantikkan jaw dalam masa yang sama ;p (some people pakai braces untuk restructure bahagian jaw, mulut dan muka.. sebab compared to surgery, braces murah ckit la)

Interested to get braces?? It worthy..!
