I had a peg tooth and was missing a tooth on the upper portion of my mouth. I asked my regular…read moredentist on what needed to be done in order to fix my teeth, have a great smile, and an increased level of confidence. My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who examined and consulted me on the condition of my teeth. It was determined that in order to begin repairing the peg tooth and fill the empty space in the upper portion of my mouth I had to wear braces first. This is where Dr. Trimmell came in. My oral surgeon referred me to Dr. Trimmell. I set foot in Trimmell Orthodontics in December 2006 for my first consultation. I left with an estimate on how much braces were going to be. My teeth were so rugged and jacked up that I did not qualify for Invisalign and had to go to the traditional metal braces. The price of the braces are not always affordable to some. This was a good 4 figure number and this was only the beginning. Luckily, Trimmell Ortho set me up on a payment plan that allowed me to pay a monthly amount with NO INTEREST. I made monthly payments for 20-24 months as that was the amount of time I had to wear braces. My insurance only covered up to $1,750 of the procedure so the remaining was left to me. I did some budgeting, thought about long term effects, and then bit the bullet and went through with Dr. Trimmell bracing my teeth. I went through with this procedure, made the monthly payments, and visits all while working a full time job and paying for my own college tuition as well as other expenses. Having my family to support me through it all really helped. I would be in and out of his office (this was back when his East side location was near Douglas and Rock Rd.) for the next 2 years. Eventually he moved his East side location to 2143 N. Collective Lane near the K96 and 21st area. I would end my treatment at this new location. Over the course of those 2 years I started to see results, but at a slow rate. I had to practice patience. I didn't have that great of a confidence level to begin with. Having braces didn't help with that either. After 2 years, the braces finally came off and I was ready for the retention phase. Everything was straight, but the empty space and peg tooth still existed. The bottom portion of my mouth looked great. Now it was time to duplicate that on the top. I scheduled a procedure with my regular dentist to have the peg tooth replaced with a crown. That procedure went well and Dr. Trimmell got me fitted with a set of retainers that fit the new crown. He also put a temporary tooth in the retainer to cover the empty space that remained. In order to fill this empty space I went back to my oral surgeon and he did another examination on the scope of work that would need to be done. It was determined that a dental implant was the best way to proceed. I left the oral surgeon's office with an estimate on how much that'd cost. It was another four figure number and guess what? My insurance wouldn't cover it because it was classified as a cosmetic dental surgery. I wore the retainer that Dr. Trimmell fitted me with for about one year as I worked and saved money to put toward my dental implant procedure. The day came where I finally had enough me to get the dental implant. I went through with the procedure and had to wait 3 months for the implant to heal and adapt itself to my gum line. After it was healed, I scheduled a procedure with my regular dentist to get a crown attached to the implant. Things finally came together and there was no more peg tooth or empty space. I then had to go back to Dr. Trimmell to get fitted for a new set of retainers since I now had ALL my teeth in the upper portion of mouth. It took about 3-4 years, and a large amount of funds to be able to smile again, but if you look for me in the patient testimonials section on www.trimmellortho.com you'll see that it was definitely worth it! A picture says a thousand words!!!

Dr. Trimmell is always so friendly and explains everything to me. I personally have never had braces and the first time going here I was intimidated because I didnt know who I was dealing with. I didnt know wether they would try to convince me that my child needed braces simply because they wanted my money. All of those fears were put at ease when Dr. Trimmell explained the treatment my daughter needed. I understood everything he said and even asked more questions if I had concerns. He didnt make me feel stupid for asking either. He is professional and very nice. My daughter loves her appointments, she never puts up a fight. Plus everytime she goes she gets to pick out new color bands. I highly recommend Dr. Trimmell for any of your orthodontic needs. We're not familiar with Dr. Anders so I cant say anything about him. Both seem like nice guys.

Before this my teeth had always had the proper occlusion without any of my front teeth making improper contact and without any discomfort. After he suddenly removed my braces, in response to the fact that my front teeth were making contact which hindered the rest of my teeth from touching and supporting like they did before, he had me open my mouth and he proceeded to sand down all of my front and side teeth with some sort of grinding tool. After this he ushered me out and told me that was all he could do. From there I kept trying to eat food normally, but it was difficult to chew food with my teeth because only the very back molars were now touching. I began to immediately experience sourness in my jaw from the strain this caused it, until one evening, a short time later, while I was chewing some food, I heard both of my tmj joints pop and I was in extreme pain. From that point until today I have been unable to chew anything and have had difficulty talking at times because of the extreme pain. Dr. Suman Gorantla should have their medical license taken away for their extreme negligence and total unwillingness to offer me any aid whatsoever.

So not much of her treatment was explained to me. They wanted her to get teeth removed to make room for her next round of braces. They referred me to an office that was no help. I was told "it will cost $600 to remove them because insurance won't pay" I could not afford that. So I talk to my child's dentist, he was confused why they wanted the teeth removed but they helped and they referred me to a oral surgeon that helped and got the teeth removed for my daughter. None of that felt okay with me so I went and got two other opinions and BOTH opinions told me, that removing the teeth was an old and lazy practice. And that with modern times there was no need to remove those teeth. I was not happy to hear that. I ended up going to another orthodontist for her second round of braces and I am much happier with their modern technology and approach. Just wish I would of done that before.
