I was a patient of Dr. Douglas Smith for 5 years…. YES, five years. When I came to his practice I had minor crowding on my two front teeth, no issues with the bottom teeth. In order to straighten my top row of teeth, he utilized a palatal expansion device that I had to turn multiple times per day. This widened the top of my mouth and then allowed the two front teeth to be straightened. The problem is the “fix” he recommended caused me to have a cross bite where my top teeth didn’t sit properly on the bottom teeth. For 3 years, he tried multiple things to fix it but it got worse. He ultimately refunded me. 10 years later, I experience extreme jaw pain, have TMJ, and require jaw surgery. All of this from his improper treatment.
