As a kid I was taken to Marino's office for braces. He popped braces on my teeth at the young age of 10 while I still had my baby teeth. He had the braces so I only had brackets on my 4 front teeth and a wire bent up with a sharp edge that pushed against my gums until the wire bent down to connect to my back molars. It's hard to explain but where the wire bent up with the sharp edge constantly dug into my inner lip leaving massive holes that got bloody and infected. To this day I still have flabs of skin on my inner lip that hang (and this was almost 10 years ago). Marino showed no concern about this though and continued with me having braces only on my top 4 teeth for a long while. During that time he decided he wanted to take out my baby teeth without any warning or notification to me or my mother so he just came in and got his nurses to hold me down and stuck a device in my mouth that would tear my teeth from my gums. I cried but he didn't care that these teeth weren't ready to come out, he yanked out at least 4 of them that day and I'll never forget what it was like to literally have a mouthful of blood. Suffice to say after a few years of his treachery we left with no results and had to see another orthodontist.
