All About Braces - Thread 3

[Sassy_gurl]

Normal bang nagloosen yung tooth mo? I can wiggle my tooth at feeling ko sobrang lambot pati ng gums. Isang tooth lang ang ganon eh, yung molar tooth ko. Im so worried and feeling depressed kasi baka mabunot siya      Sabi ng dentist hindi naman daw mabubunot yon wag lang maiinfect ang gums. Hay...sad tlaga

Did you consult this with your ortho?  I do not want to stress you even more, but I did not experience
that when I had braces.

3rd day na ang upper metal braces ko, next appointment bunot naman at pasta.. Bakit kaya after cleaning kabit agad di muna ako pinastahan and binunutan.. Medyo masakit padin pero keri lang, sana lang wag na tumuloy ang sores na ito  .. My ortho is very jolly and understanding, super makwento di ako masyado nailang sa kanya.. She charged me 45k upper and lower na, dp of 7500. Hirap lang schedule niya, super dami kasi pasyente.. So far okay pa naman nakakakain pa ng normal, goodluck nalang next week pag nabunutan, ouch! 

[rinapie]

^baka ganun lang talaga? haha! assume ko lang... kasi kapag may pinapalitan akong pasta, ina-adjust muna, nilalagay mga elastics and all bago mag-pasta. sa akin wala naman binunot, and isang araw lang nilagay yung baba at taas. mouth sores talaga pinaka masakit for me. wala akong wax nun e, nag-dagdag na lang ako nang vitamin c para gumaling agad.

[chibbyme]

^ ah baka nga ganun, yung canine ko kasi nasa back ng front teeth ko kaya need daw bunutan para magkaspace, and overbite din ako kaya i aalign muna daw ang upper bago ilagay ang baba.. Mukhang effective nga ang vit c no kasi mukhang dina tutuloy ang sores ko, mukhang nasasanay na sa braces hehe sana

Hi sisses!

Can anyone refer me to Bonoan Dental Clinic? Will appreciate it big time!:) Thanks!:)

[amelia_eyeheart]

Hello sisses. Are there any patients of Dr. Nadela here? I need more feedback on lingual braces (yung braces na di nakikita, yung nasa likod ang metals). Mahirap ba magsalita and for how long do you have to wear it? Thanks

[straykatski]

@Sassy_gurl - Normal lang mag-wiggle napansin ko din nung saken yung sa front teeth ko nung nakabrackets ako. Sabi ng dentist ko ganun talaga kasi dapat magloose yung gums para maka-move yung teeth. So ingat lang talaga na wag ma-infect. Nung sa akin sensitive kasi gums ko she recommended to gargle Bactidol. Hope this would help.^_^

[Miss Charcoal]

mga sis.. have you noticed any changes on your facial features while on braces?
like prominent yung mouth, longer face, higher cheeks or lubog na pisngi?
tia

Yes. Kasama naman ata yun sa process? Lalo na kung di ganon ka ayos ngipin bago mag braces.

Anyone here had their braces done by a postgrad dentist undergoing training from UP or UE?
Any feedbacks?
I'm on a tight budget kasi and I like to get ceramic braces. Nakapagmetal braces na kasi ako before and I didn't like the feeling and lagi akong may sores. I know ceramic braces could cost up to 80k++ but i'm still a student and I don't like to burden my parents too much from getting braces.

Thanks in advance!

Sa UP Manila Post grad ako sis. 20k something lang. Di ko sure kung nag ooffer sila ng ceramic brace.

[lionheart2010]

^sis paano magavail nung sa UP manila? May braces na ako pero yung kapatid ko gusto din magpabrace. Di ko marecommend ortho kasi hirap sa schedule. Yung sis ko sana sasamahan ko.

Sis taga san ka ba? i can refer you to my dentist kaso she's from san pedro laguna eh

How much sis? Sa Laguna work ng kapatid ko so we're still thinking if san sya magpapabrace. Laguna or Manila. Depende sa price, sched, etc.

Thanks mga sis!

[akireyhoj]

Punta lang kayo dun. Nasa Faura St. yun at halos katapat na ng Rob Manila.
Since school siya, ang sked nila ay Mon - Fri, 8am - 4pm. Cut off ata ay 3 pm.

May particular ba kaming hanapin dun sis? Sorry if madaming tanong. Probinsyana din ako at di masyadong gumagala sa Manila. Though I think I now the place kasi nakkikita ko pag nagLRT. Thanks a lot!

IMO okay na yan price na yan for damon brackets. damon brand talaga gagamitin nila or
some generic self ligating brackets? Nonetheless okay parin yung price.

[amelia_eyeheart]

Feedback naman on lingual braces oh...  or the incognito braces

[happyheizel]

Hi ladies!

Sa may mga gusto dito ng ceramic braces: Bakit hindi niyo i-try yung SAPPHIRE braces? Di hamak na mas matibay at mas matigas kesa sa cermaics. Hindi rin nags-stain or nag ddiscolor gaano tulad ng ceramic, unless pangit talaga oral hygiene niyo. Magka iba ang ceramic and sapphire braces. More expensive yung latter.

sis,  tooth movement during orthodontic treatment is normal since we are aligning the crooked teeth,.,mas matakot ka pag indi na totally nag momoved dahil it may be an ankylosed,.,.

At what age kids can have braces?worried kase ako sa teeth ng daughter ko who is 9 years old, hinde magkadikit yung front upper teeth nya, may space sa gitna, ? Baka result ito ng pag thumbsucking nya.

thumbsucking may lead to openbite.(ndi magkadikit yung upper and lower front teeth),.2 reasons of having a diastema(spaces between 2 front teeth) 1.the attachment of the frenum is too low(almost in between the 2 centrals) 2. since she's still 9 yrs old,.maybe the 2 permanent canines aren't erupted yet which eventually pushes the incisors and closes the space.

 to answer your question kung pwede na mag braces ,the answer is pwede but if i were you .,I would wait til the canines are totally erupted at the age of 12

Kung LRT kayo, pwede kayo bumaba ng UN or Pedro Gil. Tapos lakad kayo sa Padre Faura St. May madadaanan kang unang UP Campus pero di pa yun, nasa bandang dulo yung UP Orthodontics halos katapat na ng Robinsons.
Pag pasok niyo sa UP, kanan kayo hanggang dulo (madadaanan mo yung mga nagtitinda ng scrub suit at pagkain). Tapos may bldg dun, akyat kayo hanggang 2nd flr. Sa 2nd flr, may transaction window dun, may parang secretary dun tapos siya na makakausap niyo.
