Eighteen Months. 18. These are my experiences with Dr. Turner.
Month 1 - Braces on. Not quite painful, but hey alcohol has become my best friend. That and losing weight.
Month 2 - 9 - Monthly tightening of my braces and whatnot. If you schedule at the same time you'll most likely get the same person. The person who worked on my braces was Melissa, she was pretty awesome!
Month 10 - Had to go in twice this month because one of the brackets came off due to me eating too good during Christmas. Dr. Turner personally worked on it as everyone else was busy.
Month 18 - Didn't get a chance to hit that deadline, but that's all good... my braces weren't paid off.
Month 20 - Just a couple more weeks, and should be able to get them off.
Finally, after almost 21 months of braces I got them off, and I have to say that Dr. Turner is a perfectionist and wont let you go or won't sit right with himself if he doesn't get your teeth to perfection or near perfect. I was fine when it was around month 20, but several more weeks is what he told me and I'm glad I listened.
Dr. Turner overall is amazing. He has that sort of calm personality that would make any of his patients understand and gain their trust. The first time I came here I didn't know what to expect. From my previous encounters of Orthodontists they all told me that I had to basically break my jaw and reconstruct it/go into surgery. After explaining to Dr. Turner that I didn't want to go that route, he said that he would do whatever to fix my problem and that he would do as if he would for his own kids. That to me meant a lot to me. Let's face it.. Orthodontics isn't the cheapest thing in the world. But, with this service on top of it I think it's worth it. If you're looking for an orthodontist to fix your grill, or your kid's... check this place out and see how you feel about Dr. Turner. For me, it was definitely a good choice and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. read more
