My 16 year old daughter has had to live with braces for over a year now because our insurance has run out and the dentist that put them on now wants thousands to take them off. The braces have become a serious health risk. The long wires now pop off and cut the inside of here mouth.We have make numerous calls and no one will touch her because they did not put them on! Last night another wire pop out and cur her pretty bad , enough is enough. Can anyone help us or give us some direction. thank you

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

There should be minimal cost for the orthodontist to remove the braces. i assume you have an unpaid balance after completion of treatment, and the dentist wants the remaining balance. i suggest working out a payment plan to have the braces removed.
