I had an overbite and Dr. Dunwoody put braces on me. I had them on for about 5 years, way too long in my opinion. He is overly demanding, and always blames you for the delays. I know at least 2 other people that went to Dr. Dunwoody and were unsatisfied with him. I developed TMJ problems while I had my braces on and he was very unhelpful. I don't blame him for the TMJ problems, I think it was just coincidence considering I had the braces on for so many years. But he wasn't helpful when it happened, and constantly denied that changes in the braces could affect the TMJ- I found out that he was wrong. He likes to grind down your teeth to "make them fit better", but it never seems to help, and he never seems to stop wanting to do it. I finally had to demand that he stop grinding my teeth. When he was removing my braces he was having trouble and got frustrated, and left pits on surfaces of my teeth after ripping them off. Compared to the experiences of my friends that went to other orthodontists, I wish I had gone to a different one too. The facilities are nice and the technicians are nice, but remember that it is the orthodontist that makes all the decisions, does all the important work, and will determine your outcome.
out of 5 stars
