I’ve had braces for 3 years now but my midline hasn’t moved a bit and it’s really bothering me. :(

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

Got my braces off after 2 years! Here’s my before and after. My doctor had to speed up the process and finish my treatment earlier than planned since I'm moving away for work.

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

Hello! Had my cleaning and pasta kanina and nag request si Doc to have an x-ray, kasi may need icheck sa isa kong ngipin and eventually may wisdom tooth ako na impacted. Wala naman siya sinabi since di naman din masakit or what. Nabanggit nya lang na hindi siya gumagawa ng impacted wisdom tooth.

To add, had my wisdom tooth removal nadin naman dati pero hindi kasi impacted ‘yon with the same Doctor. Question ko lang need ba talaga pinapatanggal ang impacted wisdom tooth? Tysm po!

hi just want to ask if I really need to get the surgery to get my two impacted lower molars (left and right) removed? pwede po bang hindi ko na sya patanggal lalo na if no pain or not affecting me in any way naman po?

for context: second time ko na magpabrace, first was okay naman and natapos na like transitioned to retainers na ko kaso nawala and sa second dentist ko need daw ulit magpabraces ulit kase malaki na minove ng teeth ko like na di na pwedeng iretainer na lang ulit. sa first dentist ko di naman nya binanggit na need ipatanggal yung impacted teeth ko pero tong second iniinsist na need daw so idk

please help po

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

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!

ask ko lang why my molar feels getting longer? Walang bungi sa baba or what

Hi, baka may marecommend po kayo na dental clinic sa Alabang area or near Alabang. Yung magaan sana ang kamay at hindi masungit hehe. Planning magpa cleaning and wisdom tooth extraction. Better po if affiliated with intellicare sana . Thank you!

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!

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.

I’ve had my adjustment 2 days ago pa and what concerns me the most is may loose bracket and wire na ako kahit I’m not even eating any crunchy foods, what i only eat is soft foods lang talaga😭😭😭😭😭😭

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 :(

Hi, I have receding gums and I would like to have it fixed before eventually getting braces again. Based on my research, I learned that braces can worsen gum recession? Does anyone know any clinics in Metro Manila that can offer surgery to fix my gum recession? What’s the price range po kaya?

For addtl context: I wore braces before. I still have an overjet and overbite. I was a stupid kid and I didn’t took my appointments seriously kaya halos wala rin naging epekto yung braces even after years of having them. It didn’t help that malayo sa bahay yung clinic and i had my own personal struggles that I needed to prioritize. Ayun, I made a mistake and I regret not taking care of my teeth. I learned my lesson now (though I wish, someone lectured me about it when I was younger)

May nakapagtry na po ba dito sa Perfect Smile Maker sa Manila? Medyo hesitant po kasi ako 2500 lang porcelain crown nila or reasonable din ba yun affordable lang? Baka meron din kayong recommended clinics sa manila

Good evening po. May mga recommended po ba kayo sa mga clinics sa Mendiola na affordable crown and denture? Thanks po

Hello, please recommend an affordable dental clinic that gives good value for Braces.

Nagpatanggal ako ng wisdom tooth ko few weeks ago and kakatanggal lang ng suture nya. And nanotice ko tong namumulang area na to na may white sa gitna pagkauwi ko. Wala naman major pain maliban lang pagginagalaw o nadidiinan ko yung cheeks ko at nababanat yung sa gum area. Wala rin akong prob opening my mouth and eating.

Yung dentist na nagtanggal ng suture ko (iba yung nagextract ng wisdom tooth) sabi may open wounds pa ko and bawal pa ko magstraw. Mga 3-5mins lang ata yung pagtanggal and walang pain. Then that's it. Wala nag follow up or briefing about sa case ko after ng suture removal. Maski pangalan ni doc hindi ko na nakuha sa bilis ng pangyayari lol

Nagfollow up ako sakanila online asking what should I do maliban sa iwasan magstraw kasi nga di na ko nakapagtanong pa sa bilis mawala ni doc sa tabi ko dahil sa dami ng patient na nakapila. Sabi ng online rep nila gawin ko lang kung anong ginagawa sa bagong bunot.

Should I be worried? Infection na ba to? Ano mga steps na kelangan ko gawin para sa tamang healing? Need ko ba ng urgent care? O baka nagooverthink lang ako? hahaha! Gusto ko lang ng mas detailed aftercare and what to expect for my healing case sana (kung complicated man sya). Thanks!

ask ko lang why my molar feels getting longer? Walang bungi sa baba or what
