  • Can you have a different dentist continue working on your braces if you need to get a new dentist?
    posted by Kris Nickerson

To make a long story short I don’t want to continue to get my braces adjusted by the dentist who put them on. I NEVER want to go back to their office.
The dentist had no gloves on and he stuck his finger in my mouth and touched my tongue , he talks dirty , and asks x rated questions, the neighborhood is in a bad area where there is crime, drugs, graffiti, theft, etc etc….I spent about an hour crying after the way I was treated at their dental office, it was scary. The only problem is , that is the dental office that put my braces on and they do the adjustments, I mean, can I just walk into another dentist’s office and ask them to let me be one of their patients?
And today they lied to me, they said I was just going to their office for a consultation, and a nurse in their 70s, came up to my mouth with a pair of things that looked like pliers and knocked off two of my brackets, and then said I had to pay for that to have the brackets repaired, she knocked them off by mistake? I really do not want to go back to this office, it’s dirty, and shady, but I don’t know how, or what do ?

You can go to a new orthodontist as long as your account is current and you sign a "release of records" form. If the doctor you’ve been going to doesn’t recognize this, you may have bigger problems. All orthodontists are regulated by the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists). Contact them if you have more problems getting transfered out.

Call an orthodontist or dentist in your area. You may find, that they may want to look at your mouth to see what they would do different, but this is the freedom of living in the United States. We get to choose who we spend our money on.
