It took awhile to find an orthodontist who wasn't lazy and wanted to pull teeth right away. We saw FOUR others, including one that had an amazing 3D modeling x-ray imaging machine, before coming here. While Dr. Simister couldn't guarantee that it would not happen, he said he'd do his best. (We would have come here first, but our insurance was being a pain. We'd already had one set of braces from him.)
Today, the braces are coming off with no extractions needed.
My son and I are both proof of the fact that some orthodontists put their convenience over patient health.
You get one set of permanent teeth.
Don't throw one or two away because you don't want to shop around and get a third, fourth, or fifth opinion. Your child's teeth are worth it.
Thanks again, Dr. Simister!
