Should I switch orthodontists?

Question

My orthodontist lied to me about facial changes after an extraction and as a result of the extraction my cheek is sunken in on one side. Also, it threw my midline off by 1/3 tooth, I can feel the bracket with the middle of my lip and I dont know what to do anymore. In my opinion, after he did what he did in my mouth, my teeth look worse (straight but way off center), my face looks worse, my arch is crooked so my face also kind of looks crooked and it affected my lip too since on the right side of my smile the teeth have been pulling in more and more. He promised me I wouldnt go through any wierd changes and now I am and the tooth was pulled 9 months ago, my face is still sunken in on one side.... He lied to me more than once andbefore braces no one noticed I haad crooked teeth. But now everyone notices my cheek is sunken in and my teeth are way off to one side, both top and bottom......................

Been confused & wanting to leave for months but confusion is stopping me.

Answer 4

Switch orthodontist. I'm very fortunate my orthodontist who did my braces was intelligent, he had carefully planned this because if he went through the standard thinking of other orthos, my mouth would totally look different and my upper lips would sag. He explained this to me very well.  He got the results he had anticipated, and I am very happy with it.

So I say to you, find an orthodonist who can explain procedures very well.  My ortho never even had to make any promises to convince me or any of his patients that it won't go wrong.

Answer 5

LEAVE. :) Your orthodonist sounds like a crook!
