I continue to suffer tremendous stress and physical pain from Dr. Paz' failed treatment. I would have been better off if I had never been treated at all. My bite was highly functional when I went to him initially, but I had a TMJ problem. He tried to treat the TMJ and destroyed my bite. (Incidentally, he never warned me beforehand that the TMJ treatment could destroy my bite and force me into braces.) The braces turned into another nightmare due to Dr. Paz' negligence and the crucial mistakes made by his assistant while adjusting my orthodontic wires. (I learned after it was too late that Dr. Paz does not do the orthodontic work himself. He has low-paid dental assistants do it for him.) Dr. Paz walked away from my treatment and left my bite so dysfunctional that I cannot chew food. He also damaged 7 teeth. Only a few teeth on the right side of my mouth actually touch when I bite down. The rest of my upper and lower teeth don't touch at all. I suffer chronic tooth pain as a result of the haphazard wire adjustments that were made during my last office visit in 2009, before he severed the relationship. Having already paid Dr. Paz in full, I no longer have the money to get the orthodontic work redone properly.
