[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is all the upselling legal? When I go to an MD or NP or PA they don't upsell other services?

So much of dentistry is unregulated and seems like invented procedures to make more money like[b] two phase braces for most kids,[/b] selling expensive electric toothbrushes, in office whitening, insisting you need crowns when a filling will do, etc. [/quote]

This is the biggest scam. Every single NW DC family I know just ponied up the $15K for this and they all started with reasonable teeth. So ridiculous.  [/quote]

Yes. My older child had horrible teeth and I do think two phase made sense for her. I was scammed by doing two phase with my younger. I’m still trying to figure out how to respond. The last day of my younger DS’s treatment, the ortho asked if we wanted to roll right into phase 2. Why would it even be separated out if it could start right away??

It can make sense sometimes but seriously look into this. It’s not needed unless there are major major issues. [/quote]

The need for two phases is that your child is still growing

Same reason why they won't do serious orthognathis surgery or nose jobs until a child's face stops growing

That's it. That's the answer.

They need to make sure the teeth / nose / jaw fits your child's face for a permanent lifetime[/quote]

Do you realize you pointed out how scammy it is. Do plastic surgeons do two phase nose jobs? No they wait. Just like they used to do with braces.

Plastic surgery is not performed on growing children.[/quote]
