BEWARE! Before beginning treatment with Brian Stearn DDS, he informed me that I needed 4 teeth extracted to correct my open bite. I was extremely hesitant but foolishly trusted him. For 3.5 years, I wore lingual braces. In addition to monthly visits, I returned every other month for repairs. Most upsetting, to close the gaps created by the extractions, Dr. Stearn pulled all of my teeth inward so that they are now angled the wrong way! I expressed my concerns both verbally and in writing throughout my treatment but Dr. Stearn promised that in the end (no time frame ever given), my teeth would be 99.7% perfect. Worse, he repeatedly told me that I had "patient syndrome" and was looking in the mirror too often, causing me to see things that others did not. Despite concerns from family and friends, I continued treatment in the hopes that my $9,000+ and 3.5 years of suffering would pay off. In March 2005, Dr. Stearn informed me that my teeth were "near perfect" and that my treatment was a "huge success." I am devastated and have since consulted with my dentist and 2 other orthodontists. They all confirmed that I need corrective treatment.
