Dr. Bryant is a pimp, and not in the way that 50 Cent raps about. He drives a different luxury car to work everyday, and he has his assistants do most of his work. I spent two and a half years hating his guts while I had braces.
My negative feelings grew over time. I mean he really tried to make an effort to make braces fun with his beach themed office. He used to show Disney movies while his staff was inflicting tortuous amounts of pain on his clients. I did not appreciate that I was paying an orthodontist fee for work by a technician.
I was plagued by broken and loose brackets. The staff would chew me out monthly because my back brackets would always snap; I feared my appointments. It finally escalated to Dr. Bryant telling my dad that he would begin to charge for each broken bracket. One broke almost immediately after that appointment. My mom attended the next appointment with me, guns blazing, and told Dr. Bryant to install the brackets himself. I never had another break after that.
I understand that he is a busy man, but there is no excuse for delegating specialized work to under qualified people. My smile is still straight and beautiful to this day, and I thank him for that. But my overall experience was pretty terrible.
