Unfortunately, I had a traumatic experience with Dr. Hamada and I hope others can learn from my…read moremistakes. I went to see Dr. Hamada when I was in my 20s to get a retainer because I imagined that my teeth on the left side were slanting out slightly and I thought a retainer could reset them. I never intended to get braces. I loved my smile, always received compliments and made the mistake of thinking I could make it look more perfect. Dr. Hamada looked at me and said "You need braces" and recommended I shave all of my teeth or get bicuspid extractions. I remember her exact words: "Your smile will not look that different, but will look better." At first I was shocked and held off, but then over the next few months I started to convince myself that she was right and that I needed braces. I didn't want to shave my teeth bc it would create gaps, so I chose extractions. I told her I was nervous about getting braces while starting graduate school and her response was "Your nose will be in a book all the time and nobody will notice." She clearly did not care about what was in my best interest or she would have reassured me that I had a beautiful smile and didn't need to waste time or money on unnecessary treatment. Since completing treatment with her, my once wide smile has narrowed. I have gaps between all of my teeth, including my front two teeth, bc the teeth she extracted created a lot of new spaces that opened up, in spite of a retainer. I never had gaps before. My tongue feels trapped on all sides and pushes against my front teeth. I have gum recession and bone loss due to the gaps she left between molars causing my teeth to cave in, and the upper and lower teeth don't align. My face has flattened and my cheeks are sunken in. I have food constantly stuck in between my molars, and I have to floss after eating anything. I can't brush the spaces in between the gaps which feels unhygienic. She caused erosion of my upper teeth because they rubbed against the lower brackets. Dr. Hamada didn't warn me about any of these risks before getting extractions. She also never informed me that she was going to narrow my smile, cause my tongue to feel trapped or my face structure to change. She made it seem like extractions were no big deal and that I would "look better." This was not informed consent. I don't understand how she thought I would be better off taking on the risks and long term problems that come with gaps from extractions when I already had a straight smile. If I was her family member, I don't think she would have even offered extractions, but she was okay with putting me through unnecessary and harmful surgery and treatment. I got a second opinion from two other orthodontists and a periodontist. All of them looked at my records and said the exact same thing, unequivocally, that she should Not have extracted my teeth and that I didn't have orthodontic problems that warranted braces. Imagine how that feels to know that three specialists could not find one reason to justify what she did. At the time I saw her, I suspect Dr. H needed the business. She didn't warn me that she was going cutting back clinic to one day per week right after she placed the braces. I could never see her on that day so I had to drive an extra 30 min to see her elsewhere. I thought it was unprofessional not warn me she was phasing out of that location, probably due to lack of business. I was very naive at the time and didn't think an experienced orthodontist could convince you to get treatment you didn't need or could cause more harm than benefit. I trusted her and I realize now that she either did something very unethical or she has terrible clinical judgement. If she had any hesitation about the treatment plan, she had many opportunities to correct the course before I got the extractions. It seemed like she thought she could just fix her mistakes without me knowing, just make my smile look ok enough. She never thought about what was in my best interest or how this would affect me. I remember early on after the teeth were removed, I had a feeling like she didn't seem very confident with what she was doing, but I didn't say anything. I think Dr. Hamada is the type of provider who doesn't communicate with you if something is going wrong, but you can still sense it at the time. I'm not a litigious person, and I've read there is no point in suing. I think the most healing path at this point is to prevent other people from making the same mistakes I did. Find a provider who is honest and credible.
