I had braces with Dr D orthodontist for about 2 years. I have to say that overall, the service and the staff are poor, the result is not any better. I chose her in the beginning because she promised me that her treatment plan would only last for a year and it ended up 2 years for slightly overcrowded teeth problem.
To be honest, I did not have good experience having braces with Dr D orthodontist. There was one time during my regular appointment where the dental assistant cut the wire and she forgot to pick it up from my tongue. Luckily I saw about a quarter inch of wire through the mirror I borrowed from them or else I could not imagine what?s gonna happen if I accidentally swallowed it. There were countless times when the dental assistant missed putting the wire on one of the brackets that caused me to drive back and forth. FYI I lived about 30 mins away from their office. And throughout my treatment, the orthodontist who has a nickname of Dr D accidentally broke the bracket from one of the upper molars. I insisted her to replace the bracket right away but she kept saying that it was not urgent. Towards the end my treatment, then she realized that there was not much time left to fix that crooked molar because I had to move to another state for work. She made excuses by saying that nobody could see that crooked upper molar. Another occasion, I saw another patient whose mom was crying at the office because apparently, the mother was upset with her son?s teeth.
Honestly, you don?t want to have an orthodontist who keeps making excuses after excuses and cannot deliver the results. You would not want to spend your money, you time and your energy for a result that this orthodontist cannot deliver and for poor services. Look for another orthodontist!!! And do get deceived by her promises. Now I have to live with one crooked molar for my entire life because of her carelessness! I don?t want any of the people out there to fall into the same footstep. So take my advice and find another orthodontist in your area who is more committed and reliable.
