Money is not an object but it matter a whole heck of a lot when putting your self in braces and your 15 year old daughter with your 11 year old son following behind. This orthodonitist was willing to work with me if I agreed to bring the children for treatment also. This in return gave him three extra people for future patients. The price was not the only thing that attracted me to this office. It was actually the orthodontist chairside manner and his ability to explain to me what was going to happen and wanted my feedback about my treatment. I was also attracted to the way he said that If I wanted to avoid a frenectomy it was my choice and showed me a computer generated progress session of my treatment. No other doctor could do that.

I had 3 consultations, and the third time was a charm for me, because that's who I chose, and I have no regrets.

After making enquiries with my usual dentist, he referred me to one ortho. I had intentions of just finding out what options were available to me at this appointment. But, I felt so happy, at ease and confident with the ortho DG, that I agreed to start treatment there and then. I paid a deposit of £750 with monthly instalments to follow. It is probably one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

I had 3 consultations all together. I didn't feel right about the first two, but felt very comfortable with the third. Sometimes too many consultations can confuse you, but I'm so glad I didn't go with the first ortho I found, she was cold, unsympathetic and very pushy!

Well... as a matter of fact
i've been told since i was 12 to go to the ortho (now i'm 21 :lol: and i finally did it)

my dentist said one name at that time, a friend of her.
later (last year) my dentist recomended to go to an occlutionist before going to the ortho

so i started my journey on january 5, 2006 with the oclutionist, and in september with the ortho

by the way... my dentist and my occlutionist recommended the same ortho :D



sorry for my bad english :roll:
