Genuinely nice people, I just had not a great experience. I would like to highlight first that I never wanted braces to begin with, and I was there for 5 YEARS, so yeah when they came off I never came back. Just take this into account reading this. Other than that I had a horrible experience with the expander for my jaw. I ate just applesauce for several months because I was in severe pain, and even called out of school. They said they didn't notice any inflammation so they said I should be fine. I clearly was not. My mom had to wind up going in there and demanding it only be turned once or take a break for awhile. Then there is my lock jaw issues. I have really bad lockjaw, to the point wheee I had to spit out my food a couple times because it was stuck locked. My jaw on occasion gets sore and in pain. And it all started around the time I started going to the ortho. I'm going to have to get my lockjaw checked out because of the pain. Also I didn't like them forcing the kids to write 5 star reviews for them. I was peer pressured to and no offense, but just handle bad reviews like every other company. Don't make kids to something they don't want to. read more
