Hampstead Orthodontic Practice has damaged my beautiful smile permanently. Instead of offering me a full refund, compensation and paying for the thousands of pounds I've had to fork out as he didn't finish the job properly, the owner blocked my lawyer's attempt to make a claim on his business insurance or any claim. The owner should claim on his insurance to give me the compensation for the life long treatment with veneers/composite bonding and another brace to fix the damage he did to my original smile, but instead the Orthondontist has not said sorry and paid for the damage and costs. Therefore I view going to this practice as extremely high risk.
I had two Damon Clear braces on at Hampstead Orthodontic Practice and my upper row was beautiful anyway but it was the lower that was crooked so the Dr said to keep both the upper and lower brackets I'd had on for two weeks prior to arriving at his practice. He made several changes to ensure he was happy with the brace the way he would have put it on. I asked for the upper to be removed as I hated it and I already loved my upper teeth the way they were, but he said I needed to keep it on.
The results were as follows:
this practice completely ruined my upper teeth and very, very seriously because the line between the two front teeth is now crooked and my two front teeth slant to one side. This means my smile is no longer symmetrical like it used to be.
This is what I am most horrified about as it's the front two teeth are ruined and it's right in the centre of my face and so ruined my smile. It was only a few days after I left the Hampstead practice when I took a photo of my smile did I realise how slanted my teeth were. They let me leave the practice looking like that saying the job was done when it clearly wasn't done with precision!?!
Not only this, the brace on the lower was not done properly so I left with dark triangle gaps. He said he would get them filed and pushed together and he never did, which is totally lazy of him. I thought they looked uglier than before post treatment but he told me that was the best he could do, and I'd need composite bonding to fill them in!!! That would need doing regularly for the rest of my life and no way before treatment started did he tell me that!!
When I told him I was not happy as he had not filed them down as he'd said he would, he said to come back, but by then I didn't trust him given the mess he let me leave the practice in saying my treatment was complete. Also his professional opinion wasn't that senior as I went to another practice and ther orthodontist put invisalign on the lower to push the teeth together so now I don't have black triangles at all and don't need composite bonding as much! This cost me thousands of pounds extra! The Orthondontist should have done that.
The Orthondontist was not precise and telling me that was the best he could do so the treatment was over making me leave the practice looking bad is horrific. I feel completely abused and sad that he ruined my smile, and I've felt like this for 3 years, (the time it's taken me to correct his work and I'm still not finished!!!) and I am also out of pocket thousands and thousands of pounds fixing his mess.
Perfectly fine top teeth now need butchering because of the work of this practice.
I'm recording a full honest review on youtube soon to post photos so people can make their own minds up. read more
