I went to Dr. Lake for a consultation. I work in an industry where I could not be seen as a metal mouth and expressed that clearly. I also made it very clear that cost was not an issue. When you are spending that much money on work, your needs should be met.
Specifically, I was interested in invisalign and was slightly dispointed when he said I would not qualify and didn't even suggest any other options! Dr. Lake had one solution,metal, He made me question my self-confidence and implied that if I did not do it his way, I would never have a "pretty smile." The woman who took my dental photos offered more insight that Dr. Lake did. She suggested clear ones, though she said he'd only do them ontop. She also alluded to the fact that I never thought about it before because my smile was fine just that it could be improved. His staff was great and they should work for a better dentist.
I went to a second opinion, and the orthodontist offered me several different solutions one of which I was satisfied with (linguals ontop and ceramic braces on the bottom). In this day and age, you have to adapt with technology and it is CLEAR that Dr. Lake is behind.
