Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have my braces for the past year. Next month they will be removed. But I am not satisfied much. Can you tell me something that my dentist should do?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ummah Mohammad

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I have reviewed your query. If you are not satisfied then you will have to first make a decision whether you are not satisfied with your dentist or you want your treatment plan to be elongated in the same manner under the same dentist. If treatment is going well you may ask your dentist to keep your braces on with a few changes and for a few more months. If you are not satisfied with your treatment then you should get a second opinion from another orthodontist and see what is being suggested to you.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
