^ PM sent.

Panoramic and cephalometric xray, usually ranges from 600-800. What type of xray pina gawa mo?

yes, tama yun, about the phase 1 and phase 2.. it's dentist discretion about sa price range ng treatment of TMJ.

^ohhh thanks thanks! panoramic xray and isa pang xray(I forgot ano tawag doon). gusto ko na kasi pagawa yun tmj problem, but I'm still looking for other tmj dectist na baka mascheaper yun singil. hopefully makahanap ako hehe

Would anyone know if Dr. Santos' associates is as good as him? Pumunta kasi ako sa moa branch nila, tapos sa associate ako binigay, wala kasi si Dr. Santos. Sabi ko pa-appointment ako kay Dr. Santos, kaso sabi ng receptionist ibibigay rin ni dr. Santos sa associate niya yun case ko.

^claudz03, pwede pa-pm din yun office address niyo? Thanks!

Guys, I also have a question. Nagpa-xray kasi ako kanina ng teeth, 850 yun singil. normal ba yun or overpriced? tapos nakita meron tmj problem, but hindi pa yun grabeng stage, so may hope pa. Sabi kailangan Phase 1 is splinters and something (basta "therapy" daw, I forgot kung ano mga gagawin, splinters lang natandaan ko). tapos phase 2 is braces or crown.

yun phase 1, sabi sakin mga 54k, with discount na. Normal ba na ganun kamahal?

Wow ang mahal. Buti na lang di ako nagpagawa dun. Dun lang ako nagpa xray.

^^Have it checked sis Heavenly_Bliss. Baka pag pinatagal mo mas lumiit yung chance na gumaling. Ako kasi I have that, and laking ginhawa nun treatment sakin, im still wearing my splint and laking ginhawa sa kin

Hello sis..  If you don't mind, can you share with us or give us an idea how much you were charged for the treatment?  And did you go through both Phase 1 and Phase 2 or depends on the severity of your condition?   Thanks!

^Hi Jan888, I am a patient of Doc Claudz. I am not sure kasi if pare pareho yung charge, pero definitely not 60k, may dp pero i pay 1.5k per visit. Nasa phase 1 palang ako, which is wearing the appliance. after this yung braces.

I have this. i wore braces and iba pang mouth appliances nung 2004. then 2008 inalis braces ko. wala na yung clicking and pag lockjaw ko. (i stopped wearing the appliances na, di na din ako bumalik sa dentist ko kase she had a 'problem' and became so weird, i got scared) then itong before mag new year lang, napansin ko parang may naririnig nako ulit na clicking.. huhuhu takot ako mag lock ulit jaw ko!

pa check ka ulit sis.. para maagapan.

[snix]

i have this ans i am currently undergoing treatment..axcidentally discovered lang siya and it eas caused by improper braces..

nagbrace ako for four years,tinanggal ng 2009..after nun laging sumasakit yung sa may right side ng ulo ko tapos may clicking sound na rin..kala ko lang dahil sa stress kasi yun yung time na nagthethesis kami at parati ako walang tulog..but the pain didn't go away..

kast year ng mga october dun ko lang napansin na hindi pantay yung bite ko..

last december i saw my tita who's now wearing braces..we got to talking about my expwrience when i had braces tapos nabanggit ko yung bite ko..gulat na gulat siya kasi 4 years braces tapos ganun..

she brought me to her dentist tapos ayun nadiagnose nako with tmj since specialist yung dentist dun at narinig niya yung clicking sounds..mali daw ginawa ng isang dentist ko

i have braces once again sa may baba lang tapos splint sa taas one month na..and to think na wala naman ako nito before i put on braces..pero the good thing is mabilis lang daw to kasi bata pako..

[stupidgal]

Can anyone share a clinic somewhere within Novaliches QC?
I badly need a tmj specialist kasi parang lumalala na yung tmj prob ko.
