It's possible: But the second orthodontist will need to consult with the first orthodontist to discuss your case. In addition, the first orthodontist will need to be paid any outstanding balance due. The second orthodontist will probably also charge you a fee for removing the brackets and fabricating the retainers.

Yes, but ...: I would only do so if you either 1) have moved or 2) have some major issue with your current provider.

Yes you can: If your financial obligation is fulfilled with the first orthodontist, there is no legal reason this would be a problem. However, the second orthodontist might ask you for a legal document absolving him from any future complications.

Yes: However, it is best to make sure the new orthodontists evaluates where u are at in treatment and explains the issues ifyou do remove too soon. You may also need to sign a release absolving all of any liabiity. It is best to have ur original ortho remove them, but sometimes that can not always occur.

My goodness: It's always best to have the treating Specialist complete the treatment. If that is not possible because of communication gap, distance gap, or other reasons seek consultation w qualified Orthodontic Specialist who can evaluation your present set of circumstances, communicate with your 1st Dentist, and do what's best for you. Don't go untreated.
