So I really thought that after teenage braces, I'd never see an orthodontist again. But when I complained to my dentist of a small gap that was catching food, they referred me to Sawyer Creek, so off I went (no, nice lady on the phone, it's not for my kids -- it's for me). My dentist even transferred my records. I guess there's good money in orthodontia, because their office is amazing! I got the grand tour, which was pretty impressive, but what I most appreciated was that they have separate treatment areas for kids and adults. So no hanging out with the teenagers for me!
After looking at the affected spot and examining my retainers, Dr. Schuster suggested a super simple solution. She just trimmed off the end of my retainer and said that, given time, the tooth would likely move forward by itself. Two months later, we confirmed that it did exactly that, and since my retainers are in reasonable condition (they kindly cleaned them up for me and suggested some ways to keep them that way), she said we can just leave everything as is.
So, I'm not getting food stuck anymore, and I didn't spent a dime. And they were super nice and helpful on top of that. While my experience is obviously a little out of the ordinary, from the way they treated me, I would absolutely recommend Sawyer Creek for all your orthodontia needs. If you have to get braces, this is the place to do it! read more
