If your dentist or orthodontist refers you to this "doctor" to have teeth pulled before braces and this "doctor" tells you that you need surgery to correct your bite, RUN! Seriously! Please seek a second opinion outside the state. I've lived with constant pain, sinus infections, numbness, and difficulties I never knew could be possible, after being advised by this "doctor" that I needed surgery. I was referred to this "doctor" by an orthodontist in Jackson for extraction of teeth before braces. This "doctor" led me to believe that the orthodontist was incompetent and that I needed surgery on my upper and lower jaws.
