    Dr. Kopio of St. Luke's is VERY good. Sa Cathedral building siya.

    Never had a problem, always nice, always courteous. Before, I hated dentists but now ok na rin from my experience with her.

    i've had braces when i was in college.
    imho, it was not a good experience at all.

    kaya advise ko lang is for you to have an ortho checkup first to determine if you really need to wear one.

    i've known people kasi who had braces dahil gusto lang nilang pumorma.

    Kitid utak pag yan ang dahilan. Damn looooossseeerrrs.

    Sa umpisa lang mahirap, since mag adjust ka sa mga wires. Pero masasanay ka din.
    Hirap lang when you're into sports, esp contact sport. Masakit pag nasagi. even with the help of mouth piece.
    You're lucky kasi thread like wires are already available.

    sa akin kasi nun, every month hinihigpitan. every month for 2.5 years, dahil talagang kahawig ko si bugs bunny nun eh. wala pa dun yung 1 year na naka retainers ako na almost monthly din hinihigpitan.

    pero all worth it.

    wearing braces now. paid 40K.. tapos 50% Down Payment, hulugan everytime may adjustment ako (I'm doing it every 3 weeks para mabilis)

    It's hard at first but like they said, you'll get used to it eventually. mahirap kumain pero syempre inaabot din ng gutom hehehe.

    bad trip yung malagyan ng food in between. hirap tanggalin.

    but it's all worth it. ganda ng ngiti.

    cost would depend on the severity of your case.. the more your teeth are misalligned, the longer the treatment/more expensive.. ideally, you should find an orthodontist within your area as you should religiously follow the monthly appointments to adjust the braces..

    falalofasion = what i usually asked among those who would want to wear braces is"what is your main reason why you wanted to wear braces?"

    there are many reason why we should wear braces or orthodontic appliances, on top of it all is physical appearance, how bad does our teeth look, then reason regarding proper teeth alignment, TMJ problem and others follow.

    almost 90% of all total earth population has a problem that is to be treated with orthodontics, from a major teeth malformation to simple spacings or mal alignment, though some are not that obvious for us to wear braces anymore, we compared our teeth with a norm, which is by popular standard is considered as a perfect dentition, see the model unit, how detailed and perfeect the teeth is, thats how we want our teeth to be, its what society dictates=)

    prices range of a braces starts at 50k, that would depend on the severity of the case=)

    those cheap retainers done by laboratory technicians could worsen your teeth rather than help, retainers are used to retain the teeth to its position after teeth alignment using braces, thats about it as the term implies retainer...

    they are also called hlding appliance,avoid going to the dental technician and have yourself fabricate a "retainer, faux brace"

    question ulit sa mga experts. until what age ba pwedeng magpabrace? if you are on mid 30's pwede pa ba? pwede pa rin bang magpabrace kapag di na kumpleto ang teeth? like mine kulang na ang molars ko. ok pa rin bang magpabrace kung yung mga teeth mo ay may fillings na? ano pong suggestions nyo.
