I had saved for yrs. to have braces. Of the 3 orthodontists I interviewed he was only one to say I did not need to have a tooth pulled prior to braces, he said that my bite would be corrected, TMJ eliminated and have them on for 1 1/2 yrs. 2 1/2 years later treatment was done, braces were off, my TMJ and alignment is worse than ever. My general dentist tells me I lisp because I now have an overbite (because tooth that should have been removed to make room) My teeth were short and small to begin with are now shorter. I asked him why - they don't look right - he shrugged saying it is part of procedure. I was diligent about doing everything for my teeth to turn out the best they could. Each time I asked him a question he would just shrug and say "I don't know - you must not be ...wearing your retainer, rubber bands..." Anything to not take responsibility. Even the retainer he made for me - he questioned me the next visit where I got it. This was a terrible mistake that I will have to live with the rest of my life, $5700 hard earned thrown away, plus embarrassment and time. $500 non refundable up front kept me there. To try to work with a lisp and have hard time chewing plus how my teeth look-it is terrible. $$ over ethical dentistry
out of 5 stars
