DO *NOT* GO TO DR. MARC FRIED!!! I was referred by my dentist at the time to go to Dr. Fried since he was considered "The Best!" <- What a joke that was two years later! Before braces, I had two slightly crooked teeth & an off-bite. Now after braces, my entire mouth/gums have receded and the majority of that is because wonderful Dr. Fried wanted to pull out 4 permanent teeth to have more room for my "over-crowded mouth." In the end, the coward took off my braces earlier than expected and LEFT BIG GAPS towards the back of my mouth & my bite is WORSE than ever! He also mentioned he should have pulled 2-3 teeth RATHER than 4!!! Between the BS with him and my dentist, he put the braces back on, was very unprofessional and extremely rude to me on all my ortho visits telling me to stop being a "Perfectionist" - when he's the one who couldn't do his job correctly! All I wanted was for him to correct the problem, not make it any worse! Now after seeing a periodontist, 90% of my gums have to have a graft or I'll lose my teeth. My quote was over $6000! THIS GUY SHOULD *NOT* BE IN BUSINESS!
