A member asked:
I need some help please! why won't my orthodontist tighten my braces anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask him: Is it at a stage in rx where treatment is progressing smoothly and therefore no "tightening"discomfort felt. Is there a cooperation problem such as missed appointments or repetitive appliance damage. Is there a problem wit the fee. We can't answer this question for you. You'll have to talk to your othodontist.
