How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

BONE GRAFTING + Second Opinion
So the dental office had informed me that I would have to get the bone grafting done (since the shaking has not been eliminated). They want to be sure that my bones are strong enough to "carry" the braces. I'm thinking that's fine since we had previously discussed it. What I was not prepared for was the price. Like "Dang!" That was like a "halt" for me. No way I had that money readily available so I kindly informed them that I would not be making that appointment.
Ffwd to today they called me back and said that another orthodontist would be visiting next month and so I will get a second opinion. Will see how that goes
The journey continues......... "I just can't give up now/I've come to far from where I started from/Nobody told me the road would be easy/And I don't believe He's brought me this far to leave me."

Vertical Shaking REMAINS
Had a quick stop at the dental office today. The vertical shaking has not been completely eliminated. Looks like I will have to proceed with the bone grafting. I'm very much at peace with the timing of everything. It will happen at the right time for me. This I am certain of ;-)
Reduced vertical SHAKING. Horizonal Shaking completely gone.
I went to the dental office yesterday for my 2-week follow up. The horizontal shaking is completely gone. There is a reduction in the vertical shaking (though it has not been totally eliminated). I return the end of this month for the final "shaking follow-up" It will then be determined whether or not bone grafting will be done. I will get these braces if it's the last thing I do, but all in God's time.
