| - My daughter has been coming to R&P since she was 8 years old and had a complicated case. Absent adult teeth, an extra tooth coming in behind her two front teeth, gaps in her smile, you name it. Fast forward 6 years later and she is finally getting her braces off after 28 months of treatment! Yay, yay, yay!
The first few years they were conservative and monitored her with X-rays every 6 months until all of her baby teeth fell out on their own. I was appreciative that they didn't rush her into braces.
In fact, I went to another orthodontist for a second quote (which was comparable) and they wanted her to go to a regular dentist, get EIGHT teeth pulled, and have her come back to get braces on ASAP. She was 11 years old at the time and I felt like they were being aggressive and trying to lock us in by making it sound like it was urgent and not normal that she hadn't lost all her baby teeth yet.
Feeling pressured by the other orthodontist, I went back to R&P, (even felt guilty I "cheated" on them) and told the Dr. what the other orthodontist told us, and they said they didn't see any need for her to have multiple tooth extractions and she was fine to wait. I felt so relieved and trusted them 100%! We waited and she ended up only needing one tooth out that was being stubborn, and she was able to get her braces on middle of 7th grade.
She will need a bridge placed today at her regular dentist (Tempe Dental Care, which is awesome also, btw) and her smile will be complete!
We are more than happy with the care and treatment here at R&P at both the Gilbert and Mesa locations. Everyone is super helpful, sweet, and professional. We financed her braces and her total treatment was just under $5k, given she had a complicated case. I definitely recommend this practice! So glad we chose them as out orthodontist.
