Dr. Kelly Klontz uses old type appliances, in fact, the style of appliances he uses are still being used by only three orthodondists in this state. The treatment length is generally in excess of three to four years compaired to more modern treatment options which last only two years or less on average.
In my daughter's treatment, her teeth required only mild corrections. The origional estimate by an orthodontist was 12 to 18 months. Prior to treatment we switched insurance companies and as a result moved to Dr. Klontz's services. He suggested that my daughter have a total of 6 teeth plus her wisdom teeth removed prior to treatment.
Three and a half years, four thousand dollars, and one oral surgery later, we switched orthodontists. Our new dentist was appaled at the ancient appliances and that so many teeth had been removed from my daughter's mouth. Her teeth had been pulled back into her mouth so far that she had a "bulldog" appearance. Another eight months and a new set of appliances later, our new orthodontist finally got her braces off!
My middle child is now in braces with our new orthodontist. Her estimated time of treatment, only 18 months!
Be very careful who you choose!!!!
Our experience was terrible!
