Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Probably too late on this one as well. You should have seen the orthodontist. I would be surprised he/she would not take them off for you. When things like this happen, dentists would rather help people than see them make a permanent mistake. Hopefully people are honest with themselves about what constitutes a true need for help (like this case) and not take advantage of others kindness. If everyone were just after freebies, then it is harder to help those in need.Lan Allen DMD
