I curse myself often for going to Dr Cohanim for braces. He said I needed either jaw surgery or extractions, but didn’t bother explaining why. I said I wanted to keep my teeth, and because I didn’t understand why I’d need jaw surgery, I said I didn’t want it either. Instead of either explaining to me the necessity or declining treating me, he gave me his “treatment” anyway. And now I’m working with another orthodontist to undo the awful result Dr Cohanim gave me (they couldn’t believe an orthodontist in Seattle did this to me), and I’m getting ready for jaw surgery (with extractions on top of that!). A big chunk of money and 1.5 years of my life wasted — and now with horrible self-esteem!
