What happens when your orthodontist refuses to treat but left brackets on teeth?
Question : What happens when your orthodontist refuses to treat but left brackets on teeth?
My orthodontist and I got into a disagreement over the progression of my adult braces. Unfortunately, he decided he no longer wanted to treat me, took the wires off my teeth, but left the brackets on. I consulted a lawyer, who basically said that nothing could be done. I don’t have any outstanding payments or anything, and I do have all records from the treatment.
What do I do now though? How do I approach a new orthodontist?
Thanks.

if this is true then go to a different place and have them removed
then sue ur old orthodontist for the amount that it cost to get them removed elsewhere

call other orthodontists, that your insurance will help pay for.
when you call them, tell them you already have brackets from your last ortho, and that they never took them off.at the new place, they most likely will take them off, and put their own brackets…so that they are the same as their other patients.
thats what happened to me. i hate orthodontists that are rude like that.

Been there done that, when you see your new orthodontist just explain what happen and be honest. I had no problem when I explained what had happen with the previous doctor.
And through court order the old orthodontist that started the process with my braces had to finish the process with my braces. Some one from the court house was there when he removed the remaining parts of my braces. No charge! Boy was he mad and I had a great smile after he was done.
