I'm at the stage where I just wear my retainer at night, but it has been a LONG process. \n\nI was told that I would only need braces for two years after having a palate expanded for 6 months... very much a lie! I ended up with braces for 4.5 years! \n\nMost of the nurses are not friendly at all! One of the nurses ended up taking my expander off, listening to Dr. Mark's orders at all! It then had to be put back in. I ended up in that chair for 2 hours with them tryin to get it back in place. Mind you this happened about 6 or 7 years ago, but I am STILL scarred from this experience! Because of this, I ended up having to do to the oral surgeon to get 3 screws put in because my top teeth were slanted very far right and needed to be pulled back over. \n\nI will say that I am very proud of the final product! My teeth look great! But they would look this way if I went to any other orthodontist. I would recommend going ANYWHERE else! My sister's teeth looked the exact same as mine and she went to a different practice. 1.5 years later, she got her braces off with 0 problems! \n\nThe doctors here are very much strictly business! I was very rarely asked how my day was or I was doing. My family and I are not impressed by this place, and we've informed our dentist. \n\nWe will not recommend this place to any of our friends. I have spoken to more than a handful of friends and acquaintances I know who have gone here, and they all have the same feelings towards this place. We all wish we went somewhere different. Quite frankly, we will tell them not to come here."^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
