See orthodontist: A healthy bite and good looking smile is important at any age. A variety of orthodontic treatments are available today for all ages and all situations (e.g. gaps, overbite). If your doc is a Board Certified orthodontist is the best way to achieve your treatment goals. Orthodontists are trained three years longer than a general dentist. Good luck.

Aways time for an op: You always have the option for a second opinion for any care your receive. It usual customary that you complete treatment with one doctor before continuing with another but its always your choice.

Brackets: Brackets are part of a traditional Orthodontic Appliance (braces), so I'm confused by your question. You have the choice of having your child treated wherever you feel comfortable. Please make sure you are seeing a qualified Orthodontic Specialist for Orthodontic Treatment. Please also consider discussing your reasons for transfer with the original Dentist and ask for records transfer.
