Case Description
My daughter's dentist told me that my 5 year old daughter will need a w-arch and bands for her crossbite. Is this the best way to correct her crossbite? Will it hurt her? Does this procedure work well? Will she get sores in her mouth and will it be easy to keep her molars with the bands around them clean so she doesn't get cavities?

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.
