Dr. Brown is very nice. He gave me two free consultations and adjusted the tmj splint I used to wear for free. He told me that more than an orthodontist, I need an oral surgeon. Looking at my ceph xray, he showed me how far back by upper and lower jaw bones are. I have a very narrow airway and this could be the cause for my tmj pain and other health problems (fibromyalgia). I expressed my concern about surgery. He told me he has had a lot of patients get surgery and been advising it for certain people during his 30 years of practice. He showed me on his computer how I might look after the surgery (not too different). He gave me an oral surgeon to see. I talked to one of his patients who had the surgery but she wasn't the best one to talk to because she said she still doesn't have full motion in her jaw. I'm getting other opinions besides the one Dr. Smith referred me to.
Dr. Smith seems very trustworthy but I'm not sure i can handle driving out to Danville to see him for braces so I'm looking at orthodontists that are closer to me.
out of 5 stars
