I'd tap the brakes for now. They just lost a major lawsuit affecting their entire business model. You should see where

Good. It’s malpractice.

Can anyone explain these last two comments? I have no dog in the fight, just curious

Too late. I'm halfway thru the process and wanted to find out who else is

From a professional standpoint, I'm in favor of where this lawsuit is going. But

In my experience, we had a long examination at a central office including photos

Hopefully they die a cruel death. They are the epitome of profit at the expense

Hope your case is very simple with only subtle changes needed. If not,

Did the orthos sue to protect their racket? Orthodontia is due for a disruption

If you think it's such a racket, you should join in on the racket.

With each ortho class accepting only 4-6 students, only those at the top of their game can go to a real Ortho school

In 1970 ortho cost what a new Ford Mustang cost. Compare that today.

It's a horrible business model that really puts the patients at risk. Not a fan.

What do you think of the ALF appliance? Do you use it in your practice?

Iman23

5/23/19 9:24am

Not a big fan. No I don't use it.

Rise Against

why not? Is there something wrong with the method?

as far as a consumer, its a great business model. It is not for difficult cases

If it involves taking your own impressions of your teeth toss it

kotacoug

Agreed...impressions are a pain..at least SDC has a place in SLC where
