Report
The procedures used were too extreme for us! The pallette expander was more invasive than described. We were not prepared for the discomfort of the pallette expansion and the associated drilling. The side effects to the procedure were not fully explained. Our other big issue was that we didn't feel it was appropriate of him to to make critical comments in front of our teens regarding their facial features. I'm sure it was merely clinical to him because he probably does this all day but to an impressionable teen these can be scarring things to hear from an adult authority.
To hear that there is something wrong with your face. We tried telling him to not say that but he did it again in the very same session where we told him not to do it. Our child asked about his problematic features and did not want to go to future appointments. We then swithched to a diffent ortho for our other teen.

I had MSE with Dr Ting and it was awful. I had many complications, a lot of them are not reversible, and some of them will require surgery to correct. It's been a complete nightmare and one of the worst things to happen in my life. I do not recommend. MSE is a risky and barbaric appliance from my experience.
