These are Sahara's teeth. She got her x-ray workup and molds done at her dentist a few weeks ago to get ready for braces. I was under the impression we would be referred to an orthodontist. We weren't. Instead her regular pediatric dentist set up an appointment for a consultation for getting her braces done there. I was a little concerned that a pediatric dentist could, should and would be doing her braces, besides all of her friends had gone or were going to a pretty popular orthodontist. So, we made an appointment to consult with her, the orthodontist, as well. YIKES! She was, well, a little odd to us. Used big ol' fancy doctor words and had a fake/sincere way about her. Neither of us were too impressed. I am still worried about letting the regular dentist do the braces (she has TMJ and her jaw is not symmetrical) but we have felt comfortable with him for the last 8 years....We also ran into 2 of her guy friends shortly after the consult with the orthodontist. One of them have had braces (of sorts) with the orthodontist and didn't recommend her. The other currently was sportin braces and was going to the regular dentist, Sahara's dentist, for them and said he really liked it there. Soooooo, I think we are leaning on the regular dentist to do hers. I will decide and sign the papers on Monday!
