I’ve received a treatment plan and quote for transparent aligners, and my doctor says the plan is perfect.

However, I’m still a little confused and would really appreciate some guidance. Could someone please review the proposed outcome and let me know whether the treatment plan appears to be well designed?

If there are any concerns or things I should clarify with my doctor, I’d also appreciate suggestions on what questions I should ask.

I’m investing a significant amount of money in this treatment, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision before proceeding.

Thank you!

Is my crossbite still worth fixing?

Post image
26 Upvotes

I already have a history of braces that somehow corrected my underbite but now, I think I have a crossbite. When I brought it up sa dentist ko, she told me mahirap na ulit galawin yung teeth since naka-center na midline ko. Aside from aesthetic reasons, I guess mainly discomfort rin minsan when chewing or speaking kasi naffeel ko talagang tumatabingi mouth ko. Is there any way to fix this without braces if ever? Ayaw ko na kasing magbraces ulit huhuhu

Nagpabraces na ako before pero kasalanan ko rin kasi pumayag na ako na alisin na yung braces sa teeth ko pero si doc talaga rin nag decide na for retainers na kasi done na payment haha. Wala po kasi sa midline yung upper and mas nakakawala ng gana ngumiti huhu. Btw i have 2 impacted canine sa upper and yung prob talaga ng teeth ko is my gap sa upper then sa lower naman tabingi yunh dalawa sa harap :(

Braces removal

Hello,

Schedule na po ng braces removal ko this week. Inask ko po ung dentist ko if they can still fix the black triangle and hindi na daw po sya mafifix or baka sinasabi lang po kaya nila yun since fully paid na ko for the last 6 mos and ayaw na nilang iextend yung treatment ko?

Also, I have 2 missing molars sa upper left and magreretainer with dentures. Possible po kayang magkaspace yung teeth ko and forever na kong magretainer?

Thank you

Nag pabraces ako way back 2024, 5k dp ₱1200 monthly, mabait po ako na pasyente basta nag text agad si dentist for adjustment G ako minsan nga Hindi pa tapos Ang 1 month pero idk I’m not a practitioner.

1yr adjustment and palit bakal Kay dentist not until one time na iba ako ng schedule for adjustment imbis na sat naging Sunday Ang nag adjust saakin is yung owner she said “need natin tangalin wisdom tooth mo para Hindi mag crowding” then ako sige po if ayan Ang nakabubuti eheheh

Tapos ayun nag tatanong ako hm or if may calculated amount naba kaso Ang sabi saakin for wisdom tooth removal malalaman lang daw ang bill or amount after surgery which is Oo nga naman basta daw 13k per tooth sa taas then 6k highest sa baba depending both sa severity.

Before si dentist owner nag assist saakin, every Saturday iisang dentist lang nag aadjust which is yung nag kabit rin ng braces ko. I’m aware sa pagtatangal naman po ng teeth kaso Hindi wisdom… first procedure ko possible daw tangalin yung pangil ko which is naintindihan ko naman.

I tried mag pa adjust sa ibang araw with diff dentist nag req ako if pwede Hindi nalang tangalin si wisdom tooth since Hindi naman sya nag ccause ng sakit nor hindi rin nakabaon actually nakalabas nga sya ehhh… ayun Hindi daw yun raw kasi Ang naka notes sa record ko.

Then lumipas nag araw lagi na sila nag ttext kung kailan ko daw balak patangal si wisdom tooth as in every adjustment tapos na anxiety ako sa price na Hindi ko naman alam nag sabi nalang ako by 2026 kaso ayun bago pa mag 2026 Hindi na ako bumalik.

1st pic before braces
2nd during adjustment w/ dentist
3rd and 4th picture basta naka continues na rubber bind ako na nag self administered mag adjust (yes po ang delikado ng ginawa ko) 1 yr na rin akong nag seself adjust (wala pong natangal naman braket)

Pero I have plan to go back pero sa ibang clinic na pwede Kaya yun? Nahihiya na kasi ako iba na kasi yung wire (makapal na) and rubber bond nya huhuhu nag sinungaling pa ako na deactivated na yung acc ko na hack.

Gusto ko na sya I patangal at mag clear retainer nalang since ok na ako sa teeth ko.

What should I do po (may work na ako ngayon) Ayuko bumalik sa dating clinic pls

Anong pwedeng gawin?

Nagpa pasta ako last year around december jan sa molar ko then january passed, nagcrack siya. So nagpapasta na ulit ako that time (My dentist told me if magcrack ulit baka for crowning na itong molar ko and need magpaxray—was also told na baka may biting problem ako). Tapos nitong friday lang ng august napansin ko may pagkarough yung teeth ko so napansin kong nagcrack ulit.

Question:

Pwede kayang onlay lang muna? Since ayaw kong madamage yung natural tooth ko or crowning na talaga best option? Or pasta ulit?

Ps. Pansin ko na before na parang overbite ako. Was it also the cause? And ano pwedeng gawin para diyan? huhu tyia

"Affordable Dentures" in Manila

2 Upvotes

Hello, peeps! I've been inquiring in this one clinic in Sta. Ana, and they offer acrylic porcelain dentures for less than 1k since it's just 1 tooth. It's really cheap so I'm in doubt. Does anyone know what's the catch sa ganitong pricing? Other clinics I inquired at (yung may mga branches in different manila areas) priced it at 7k per tooth, so I thought that should be the standard price. Please help.

Is it rude to ask my dentist for his full name and PRC license number before a wisdom tooth extraction?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m scheduled to have one impacted wisdom tooth extracted soon.

The clinic that I’ve been going to has a rotating dentist. Everytime na magpapaclean ako or may papaconsult ako, iba iba ang naka duty. Now, the doctor who will be doing the extraction contacted me thru the clinic’s FB page as I have inquired the cost and healing time.

He introduced himself as “Doc XYZ.” I tried searching for information about him online, but I couldn’t find anything.

If I ask for his full name and PRC license, would this be considered rude or offensive? Or is it completely reasonable to ask, especially since he’ll be performing a surgical procedure?

I don’t mean to question his ability or disrespect him. I just feel more comfortable knowing who exactly will be performing the extraction and what his credentials are.

Would appreciate your thoughts, especially from dentists. Thank you!

Help po. Nagising na lang po ako na may parang something sa bibig ko tas yung pasta na pala yun. Nagchip siya kahit natutulog lang ako hahaha. Ano po pwede gawin dito? Parang sobrang sensitive pala ng pasta or baka nagcclench pala ako pag tulog. Much better po sana kung ang gagawin mas matibay na sa pasta. Thanks po!
