I haven't used any other orthodontists, so I have no comparison, but Dr. Misri came highly recommended (he's the orthodontist my dentist uses for his children) and we have been very satisfied with the results. Two of my children had had very complicated needs, not just your average overbite, and he has been extremely through with them. Also, you never get the feeling from him that he's recommending something they don't really need. He told my other two children that they did not need braces, despite having a slight front gap. He considered that a cosmetic consideration for him, not a real need, and they could decide it they wanted it fixed.
