PETALING JAYA: The cost of orthodontic treatment is not only an issue for consumers, some of whom were driven to seek the services of quack dentists, it is also a concern for qualified dentists as they are not allowed to advertise their fees to attract consumers.
The Malaysian Orthodontic Practitioners’ Association president Dr Kathiravan Purmal said the Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) instructed the Malaysian Dental Association in May last year not to allow its members to display the recommended fee structure.
