Case Description
My wife was recently at the dentist who suggested she should have her braces removed and then proceed with his recommended treatment plan. When my wife called the referred orthodontists' office, the assistant gave wife a story about removing her braces would be unethical. I can only assume that she may be implying that some fee has not been completey paid. My wife received partial braces when she was 20 years old. She is 35 now and that procedure was done in New York. There is no outstanding debts, so what could be the problem?

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.
