00:00The illegal construction of teeth braces was visited in Benguet and Olongapo.
00:04One of the arrested is an online seller who has no experience in dentistry.
00:10Here is my exclusive report.
00:15When the raiding team arrived at this apartment building in Olongapo,
00:21they climbed to the third floor and here they saw the illegal construction of teeth pecking braces.
00:29According to the CIDG, it was intentionally placed far from the public's eyes so that the person can operate safely.
00:35You are under arrest.
00:37The 21-year-old woman who is being accused of making and watching braces was arrested.
00:42In the investigation of the CIDG, the suspect is an online seller and has no background in dentistry,
00:47especially in the construction of braces.
00:49She might have seen on the internet how to install braces.
00:54It's very dangerous because she doesn't have enough knowledge.
00:57She might have a big problem.
00:59Her teeth might fall out.
01:02Her bones might be destroyed.
01:06In Sablan, Benguet, the CIDG raided this apartment building.
01:09The illegal construction of braces was also done.
01:12The wife of the person operating the braces was arrested.
01:14The dental chair used is a massage bed.
01:17According to the Philippine Dental Association,
01:19their use for dental procedures is below the standard.
01:23These illegal practitioners don't have a proper standard of care
01:27or they don't know how to maintain their equipment.
01:30Their equipment is not sterilized.
01:32We don't know if they used it in the past and they will not use it again for other patients.
01:40It results in diseases.
01:42The Philippine Dental Association is warning the public
01:45about the illegal construction of braces and pecking dentists.
01:50There are a lot of pecking dentists online.
01:55If you are doubting if they are pecking or legit,
01:58you can verify at www.prc.gov.ph.
02:05We are continuing to try to get the equipment of the CIDG's detention facility
02:10in Olonga and Benguet.
