Identifying Signs of Orthodontic Failure
Problems caused by orthodontic failures are generally easy to recognize. You may be experiencing unusual and severe pain, have an infection, or notice poor results after completing treatment. Whatever the problem may be, rest assured that an orthodontist’s negligence is grounds for legal action — and I am ready to help you with your case.
You may have an orthodontic malpractice case if:
- Your orthodontist prescribed an inappropriate orthodontic treatment (for example, prescribing Invisalign to a patient who is not eligible for the treatment)
- You or your child’s teeth are crooked or damaged after treatment
- Your orthodontist failed to properly monitor you or your child with braces during treatment
- Your orthodontist incorrectly applied braces
- You developed an oral health problem as a result of your orthodontic treatment
Steps to Take After Experiencing Orthodontic Negligence

Allow me to guide you through the complex legal process involved with this type of orthodontic malpractice lawsuit. I have helped countless patients who were unsure who to turn to after a botched orthodontic treatment. I enjoy being personally involved in every aspect of the cases I take on, so you can rest assured that I will be by your side every step of the way.
