I was the first kid in my grade school to have braces put on (while baby teeth were still in my mouth). They were take off by the 4th grade then put back on in the 6th grade and were not take off until about 8 months ago. I am a sophomore in college, 20 years old. i have had braces for more then a decade in total.
About 2 years ago my mother took me to get an opinion from a different orthodontist. Now my teeth look good. but because my back molar was covered so long by the brace it has caused my tooth apparently just rot through. Last night i was eating and a large part of my tooth went missing. There is a gaping hole my tooth right now cutting my tongue.
Up until now i have never had a cavity and my teeth have never been that messed up.
Along with this...My older sister went to Dr. Lawrence and had braces put on a total of 3 times. My parents finally caught on to this and DID NOT send my youngest sister to this doctor. Plus i have probably spent days of my life sitting in traffic on Mayfield Road trying to get to his place.
