We have been searching for an orthodontist for Alaina. Three offices later, I found one that I liked (thanks Susan!). We had to get our flex account contribution in by Thursday and our appointment was on Tuesday. This Dr contradicted the other 2 and said that he recommended Alaina be put on observation only. He doesn't want to do anything to her for possibly another year or two. I said, Are you sure? The other 2 guys I went to wanted her to start "Phase 1" with an expander right away.
"I don't typically do a 'Phase 1,'" he said. "She has too many baby teeth to do anything right now, I do everything start to finish over a period of time so the mouth is fixed and fixed right instead of starting appliances too early and fixing the same problem later."
I love Dr Olin! My kind of guy. Kevin was extremely relieved. He loves Dr Olin too.

Hmmmm...I remember TELLING Kevin to go to Dr. Olin!! For once did he actually listen to me?
I have several good friends that go there, and your approval and inside knowledge helped push us that way.
