| - This review is long overdue..!! I contacted Gibson Orthodontics to straighten a crooked tooth that was bothering me but nothing major. Dr. Gibson gave me the choice between invisalign and traditional braces, I asked for the difference between the two since he is the professional, he said" there is difference in price, invisialign is expensive and the process is longer but with invisalign u get to brush ur teeth, people won't notice u r wearing retainers but at the end u will end up with the same result". I was sold, I chose invisialign and I paid cash at once 4500$, I was excited to have the perfect smile...but NO, invisalign took longer than the time frame Dr quoted me, failed to see what I see, keeps repeating that my teeth are perfect though they were not. After voicing my disappointment in the service, he offered to go back to braces, he offered it at no charge, I offered to pay him 1000$ more so as he would make more effort in revising the plan to fix my teeth , but even with that Dr. Gibson still could not get himself to listen nor review the plan to achieve a satisfactory result. I was pregnant towards the end, so I just accepted the fact that we were not getting anywhere and I accepted the result that Dr. Gibson was claiming to be perfect on 04/2015. I was so upset and disappointed that I paid so much money and I got nothing to show for it but pain and a waste of 2 years of going back and forth to Gibson office. The staff is super nice, big & high tech office but all these things don't matter if I don't receive a good service worth of the money I paid. I swear to God, I have not received even one compliment after my teeth were done, the only close thing to a compliment was :" they are okey" from a co-worker who wore braces before and she had straight teeth with a perfect smile. Now, I feel my teeth are worse than before, I get the food stuck between central incisor and left lateral incisor, basically, food lays in between the two teeth and I get paranoid when I eat out with friends and I don't smile when taking pictures anymore. I wish I left my teeth the way they were :(. It was an awful experience, now, I am in the process of looking for a good Orthodontist to fix the mistakes that were done by Gibson orthodontist. I learned my lesson, I would never pay cash in advance but pay as I go, I was just a number for this office, I don't recommend going to Gibson Orthodontist for adult braces, and invisilagn is a joke.
P.S: this review should have been written a year ago, my feelings are calm now and I feel this was a fair review.
Pictures attached, before picture from my Gibson Orthodontics file and the after pic taken to show how my teeth look when I smile...:(
