NEED TO RESTART ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT-SPECIAL CASE!!!!

 
NEED TO RESTART ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT-SPECIAL CASE!!!!

Case Description
My story is a bit complicated:

I got my braces on in 2005 in Riverside, CA but moved to Los Angeles in late 2006. Due to my relocation, I had to change Orthodontists but I ended up moving to Mexico.

I have not had any treatment since late 2006 until August 2007[they just took x-rays again and did a new molding and removed wires...brackets are still on].

However, I had to relocate to Mexico again and that is as far as that treatment went. [I am back permanently from Mexico and will not be relocating any further]

I requested to restart my treatment @ the "New" orthodontist [in Torrance, CA] but said that I would have to go BACK to my original Orthodontist to do so. Naturally Riverside is about an hour and a half away and I would like to find someone closer.

I know it's not possible to remove my brackets and start with invisalign due to liability reasons.[Although that was my preference] HOWEVER, I would like to restart my treatment with the brackets I do have on.

I have insurance (Metlife Dental) and have my moldings as well as all my x-rays and records.

I am looking for someone in the Southbay area.

Please advise!

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.

Another recommendation:

Sepedah Ariarad in Westchester (310) 338-9499. She is a perfectionist. She is great with both invisalign and conventional braces. I recommend her highly - she did my orthodontia.

I am an Endodontist (a root canal specialist) in the LA/ Beverly Hills area. I would like to recommend you to Dr. Yana Shampansky who is an expert in Invisilign in the Century City area. This Dr. is truly superb, both as a professional and as a human being. I have sent my own loved ones to her, and have been very happy. If you cannot find her number, that is if Century City is not too far from you, please contact me and I will direct you to her.

Good luck.
