Really depressed...side effects of extractions?!

Hey everyone, if you've read my other posts, you already know I've been struggling with my braces since I got them on. In my opinion, they are not put on correctly, and now, 2 months later, my worst fears are now visible. My top and bottom arch is getting more narrow by the day, I used to show a lot...

How much does a second consultation cost?

Before I settled for my current orthodontist, I saw another one about a mile away from him, and had a free consultation there. He didn't take X-rays or pictures, just had me lie back in the chair and looked at my teeth. Anyway, I'm thinking about switching to him, but how would I even start, I've al...

Re: Really upset with my orthodontist, should I transfer?

Thank you very much for your reply! I know, I couldn't believe he didn't even supervise her, or come back at the end and make sure everything looked okay. I forgot to mention, the lady who was working on my braces kept looking up and around the room at the other assistants who weren't working and ta...

Really upset with my orthodontist, should I transfer?

Hey everyone, I recently got braces a few days ago, and I am really worried. I have been upset about my braces since the moment he put the brackets on. They are not positioned properly at all. My brackets on my front 6 teeth are really low, almost to the end of my teeth. The rest of the brackets are...
