1 /5 little pet kingdome: I had my braces for about 5 years. I didn’t have the ability to go elsewhere as insurance coverage was limited. Fast forward and I’m going to be paying out of pocket to have them redone. While my teeth are straight, they are awfully flared out (think of a horse) , to the point it causes discomfort while eating. The way my teeth sit has caused them to be more prone to chipping. I’ve also worn my retainer religiously since I’ve had the braces removed. I can assure they have not shifted. The orthodontist at the time said I required double jaw surgery and multiple tooth extractions to ensure my teeth would be sitting properly after braces treatment. To give the shortest version, I had all those procedures done. To have had to endure all that pain (extractions and surgery) for the end result to be mediocre and painful is very disappointing. If you have the ability to, I highly recommend going elsewhere for ortho and dental. I haven’t been treated by their medical staff so can’t comment on that.
