CD and Kathy,
I'm a freelance reporter working on a story about orthodontics and want to provide tips to my readers when things go wrong. I'm looking for first hand anecdotes. I'd be interested in hearing what you decide to do CD and Kathy I would like to interview you about your experience. Sounds like you got your orthodontist to re-examine your case a little more intensely. Do you think we could speak or e-mail? I can be reached at SarahCRobertson@yahoo.com.

Thank you so much for your help,
Sarah
