Help! I think my dentist doesnt know what shes doing

Help! I think my dentist doesnt know what shes doing

Hello, need advice from other dentist/ortho here. I have braces for 2 years na and my case is very simple but until now hindi padin mafix ang problem and nag develop pa nga ako ng overbite. On my recent appointment, i pointed out na lumalayo na yung lower teeth ko sa upper, so my dentist said na gagamitan daw nya ng RCS wire of course wala ako idea about it since first time ko yan marinig. Nilagyan ng rcs wire yung lower teeth ko, after a few days, sobrang sakit nito halos di ako makakain, and I feel na yung movement ng teeth ko ay pa opposite, instead na ipapaforward ang lower teeth ko, lalo syang pumasok pa loob and umangat, so sinearch ko yung RCS wire, found out na mali ang pagkakalagay ng wire instead na pa downward, pa upward ang lagay. (See pic nakaflip yung wire upsidedown ang pagkakalagay)

So, after a week binalik ko sa dentist ko, at first hindi nya alam na mali ang pagkakalagay, sinabi lang nya, hala anong nangyari jan, hindi daw effective sakin. Pinalitan nya muna ng finishing wire daw. Then saka ko na sinabi na mali ata doc ang pagkakalagay nyo ng wire baliktad po ata, then ang sabi lang nya, ay mali ba, hindi diba ganito, ganito lagay ko ah. Sabi ko, kaya nga doc yung ngipin ko pumasok lalo sa loob at umangat eh, tapos sinabi pa sakin na nililito ko daw sya. I remain calm and polite padin sabi ko, doc gusto ko maayos na yong lower teeth ko dapat tapos na to eh pero lalong lumalala overbite ko. Then sabi nya, sige gusto mo ibalik ko nalang paganito (yung pa downward na) sabi ko doc, baka madamage naman ang roots ng ngipin ko dahil sa sobrang force. (Mukhang di nya talaga alam ginagawa nya) gusto kong umiyak as in muntik na. I tried contacting other dental clinic for second opinion pero di daw sila magchecheck if walang endorsement or recommendation from my current dentist. Pano ako mag papa second opinion?

What i want to know, is it okay ba na ipabalik agad yung correct orientation ng rcs wire hindi ba sya makaka affect sa root or wait muna for 4 weeks to settle yung teeth with the finishing wire? Thanks!

Which August fun run in UP Diliman is better? Rexona 10 Miler vs Great UP Run.

Hello!

Planning to join a fun run this August in UP Diliman and trying to decide between the Rexona 10 Miler and the Great UP Run. I’ll most likely go for the 10KM category.

For those who’ve experienced either (or both), how was it in terms of:

- Overall experience / race organization
- Route and crowd
- Freebies / race kit (shirt, medal, loot, etc.)

Would love to hear your thoughts so I can choose which one to sign up for. Thanks in advance!!
