welll umm...dr. francis eng is horrible! he does everything slowly, piece by piece. 1st 4 me he put the top bands, 4 weeks later bottom bands, 4 weeks later, top braces or..6 brackets that he put on the top of my teeth..4 weeks later some more bands, 4 weeks later bottom braces..4 weeks later some more bands...4 weeks later some more brackets on the top...4 weeks later some more on the bottom. as you can see this doctor is horrible, he began doing this since november 2008 and now its may 2009 and i still dont have no wires on. my friends go to their orthodontist and get them put on in 3 hours or less. everything the doctor puts in your mouth takes about 2 hours, if he put 2 bands on your teeth, it would take 2-3 freakin hours !!! plus you have to miss school for these appointments, so..i guess i lost maybe about...10 days of school. to tell you the truth its kinda depressing. i mean you have braces in your mouth for like..7 months and they arent even moving anything or fixing your teeth, but your friends who got braces after you..their braces are working and their teeth are getting straighter while yours just looks the same just with brackets on them and not only that, on every visit youhave to bring $100 !! DONT GO TO HIM !!! i wish i never went to him..but i didnt know he was like this,if i did i would've switched a long time ago!! sigh*
