Dr. Mattson said we absolutely needed the braces because we could NOT remove an out of place tooth my daughter had. Two years (and 5K) later he told us to have the tooth removed. Three months after that he examined her and said "Ah see how nicely the teeth have seperated and that tooth has moved into position." I informed him we had the tooth removed three months earlier at his direction.
This place is like a barber shop where the doc goes from chair to chair. I know our treatment was not necessary. Be careful.
