Case Description
Our 15 year old daughter recieved braces overseas. Since returning to the USA, we have been unable to find an orthodontist that is willing to do follow-up. Everyone we contacted wants to reapply everything and start over, at considerable cost. Since she was close to being finished when we returned to the states, we do not want to do this. We do not have dental insurance and cannot afford to start over. At this point we need someone to give us an evaluation and at the least remove the current appliances. Can anyone help? We are at a loss as to how to proceed at this point.

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.
