Discussed the potential treatment plans, my requirements and showed the doc previous panorama X-rays. By the actual treatment consultation over zoom 3 weeks later all the treatment approaches changed to the complete opposite. As I asked why everything changed and how follow on options would look like, the doctor said there's not enough trust, she can't treat my daughter, and hung up on me within 15min. There was no room for discussion or questions. It was odd to see the doctor expecting trust for a 2yr treatment, while not willing to spend 3 more min explaining her rationale. Bottom line is if she chooses to treat you, I'm sure it'll be fine. But you might end up hearing all the good stuff in first meeting, wasting both time and hundreds $$$ on photos for a second meeting, then get all the opposite stories and get hung up on for the last. Their X-ray and picture fees are about twice as high as other ortho, so seems like a business idea to maximize income no matter what.

My husband and I really enjoyed coming to this dentist during the time I went. I even ended up…read morerecommending my sister to this dentist, but in the end, I didn't appreciate the way they handled payments. It felt super shady the way they would always tell us we didn't need to pay anything, but every time, we would receive a bill after the appointment. This happened to all three of us constantly. The receptionist at the front desk even admitted that they overcharge and basically max out your insurance. Every single time we needed to come to the dentist (even for basic care), we always had the receptionist check if our insurance would cover the visit and she always said yes. However, every time, we would also get a bill for $200-300 and if we try to dispute it, they call us and tell us if we don't pay, they're going to send it to collections. I was fed up with these tactics and ended up finding a new dentist. We're now going to one in Sunnyvale and our experience has been so seamless. They stated they always give you your upfront costs that you would need to pay and if there's any excess payment after insurance and they didn't tell us, they'll just waive it. It has been such a huge relief going to a different dentist and knowing if you'll have any costs before you accept treatment. We were not ok with unexpected bills and how hostile they were threatening to send it to collections every time.

I had a disappointing experience at this orthodontic clinic during my consultation…read more I was quoted $250 just for photos and iCast/digital model, which is something multiple other clinics in the area provided at no cost as part of a standard consultation. When I politely asked if there was any flexibility or clarification on the fee, the orthodontist responded by saying he would not work on my case. The overall tone felt rude and very money-focused, rather than patient-focused. During the consultation, he also stated that my dental midline was 4 mm shifted without properly examining or measuring. I mentioned that from previous evaluations it was closer to 1.5-2 mm, and after checking more carefully, he agreed it was about 2 mm. This made me question the thoroughness of the initial assessment. I understand that every practice has its own pricing structure, but patients should be treated with respect and clear communication--especially during a first consultation where trust is being built. Because of the lack of professionalism and transparency, I decided to continue my treatment with another provider. I'm sharing this so other patients are aware of the consultation policy and the communication style at this office.

Summary: I paid lots of money and time to make my teeth worse than the originally were. It's not…read morethe end of the world and I don't have any serious problems at the moment, but my gumline receded significantly so I'm more likely to have dental problems earlier than I would've. On top of that I have poorer dental hygiene despite spending more time on dental hygiene (flossing and brushing twice per day, and wearing retainers all the time), and the original bite issue was not solved in any significant way. Dr. Chen takes his work seriously and generally tries to do what he can to help. However, he has made a couple of decisions which I believe negatively influenced my dental health. The first was that he should've persuaded me not to get braces in the first place or at least been upfront about the possible negative effects. I know orthodontists need to make a living doing orthodontics but they should be more strict about accepting only patients who have a high chance of benefitting from the procedure. In my case, my only problem was a bad bite where only my back teeth were touching. I later read that this is actually not a very severe issue and most people can/should live with it without needing any dental treatment. Another issue is that the decision to correct the vertical alignment of my bite with a rubber band was hastily made and may not even have been the right fix to my issue. It was based on a few seconds of looking at my teeth getting my "comfortable bite", even though I had explicitly voiced a concern that I really have no idea if this is the most natural bite since it could just be my brain's way of trying to compensate and get the teeth to touch better when eating. Based on this short assessment I wore strong side-to-side rubber bands to move my teeth horizontally which I believe might have contributed to bone loss. Moreover the movement did not even stick and would frequently have to be redone. Dr. Chen insists there was no significant bone loss; however, my other dentist and I agree that bone loss from the treatment was pretty significant and obvious in the x-rays (x-rays included below). Another issue is that many of the changes during this procedure simply wouldn't stick and the teeth would revert to how they were before. As a result there was a lot of moving back and forth with no forward progress (there was some forward progress, but it was made mainly by the braces, not the rubber bands). One particular rubber band treatment felt quite magical in that it actually closed my bite to the point that I felt like something positive had come from the treatment. Unfortunately my teeth moved so fast that as soon as I removed my rubber bands it would regress literally hours later, so by the time I got my retainers, these changes were not present. I also feel that the TAD (screws in mouth as anchor points) treatment is oversold, as there is no evidence that they significantly moved my teeth, and also came out way earlier than expected, in the middle of treatment. x-rays before treatment (2014): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBotxOxRJkDN3dhWjc2cnNMZkRQUkYzYnNDQ0V5NkdXUlRF/view?resourcekey=0-6GwJoKNFXhHQqXV5c3Qr5Q x-rays after treatment (2018): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1c0xRPsg134DjNbDSPOUXObsne9DR9eUg (Bone loss seems apparent to me, and my other dentist agrees there is bone loss even though Dr. Chen claimed there isn't. In the lower front teeth, what used to be "snaking" has become "stubby" and I even had to triple check to make sure I was looking at the same teeth). Gum line before: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBotxOxRJkDZ21HcEN6cGxab0p6TFFtNzRiZ0tpcExXQV9z/view?resourcekey=0-ngV58DlBce9b3zw6HjaRtA Gum line after: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBotxOxRJkDVG5NbVJ4aWV1eTlkWWg2eWtQMkozbjd4bHhz/view?resourcekey=0-eYOyPDKAcGklsOipjevm9Q As you can see the difference is visually quite pronounced and definitely not purely attributable to the 3 years of natural aging which was the duration of my treatment. My bite is still basically the same as before, so it seems the only positive outcome was improved cosmetic straightness of teeth, which is actually not a positive because I don't care about cosmetics at all (and, aesthetically speaking, higher gum line looks healthier and more youthful than receded gyms anyway). There's also a void of gum in my back teeth which has a 100% chance of being occupied by food every meal, which wasn't there before. My bottom front teeth still wiggle when moved years after treatment, and they never did before. These side effects including gum recession and bone loss were never mentioned in the consultation and sadly I had not done enough research at the time to realize they'd be such an issue. One good thing about Dr. Chen is that he is very available/responsive to questions by text message, and takes the time to explain
