I am also a patient that has experienced the exact same mishaps that the patient before me wrote of. I was reeled into the straight teeth in 6 months pitch and now my teeth are worse off that they were before. I got 3 professional opinions 6 months into my treatment and they all agree that my teeth are worse. Dr. Lagstein was present for the consultation with his pitch and payment arrangements. I experienced many occasions where my brackets would come off and my wires would be out of place. As of now, I'm 6 months into my treatment and my teeth are worse than ever, which they really weren't that bad in the first place. I had a minor issue with one of my 2 front teeth, but now, I have other issues such as spaces and bite issues that I did not have before. The reviewer prior to me is correct when he/she states that we, as patients, rarely see the dentist. The assistants do 80% of the work. If I had know what I know now, I would not have engaged in this treatment. I deeply regret it! Now I have to seek an orthodontist to correct my dilemma and possibly take legal action against this practice. STAY AWAY FROM DR LAGSTEIN'S PRACTICE!

I know this doctor: 6 months
