im so sorry for the late reply loves! i havent been on this forum for ages. but yea, ive heard about this thing called speed braces? and it only takes 6 months to complete.. but i dont noe if its available in malaysia.. wow, are govt. clinics that bad? i did consider going to one too.. redtomato26: i feel you.. haha my mom's pretty against it too, well maybe not against. But she thinks that I don't need it and wants me to come up with my own finances if i wanna get braces.. i guess some parents just nvr understand that feeling of having to cover your mouth each time you wanna laugh.. or being unable to smile with your teeth in front of the camera..
