Why? You know you should. You can go back to the same dentist, assuming they operate on the money for late service is better than no money for no service principle.

Why can't you go back to the same dentist? Are you ashamed because you have missed a few appointments? It's not a big deal. Just make an appointment and get the work done so you can be happy, hun. And DO NOT let the dentist make you feel guilty about missing your appointments, I'm sure you had a good reason.
Good Luck and take care of your lovely teeth :-)

Go to another dentist & get a referral for another orthodontist. You dont need to give a reason, & if you must have a good erason,l say you moved interstate with work or something like that.
I had braces, & tightenng is required so your teeth learn to move into the right position. Once your braces are off, you still need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in new position otherwise they will go back.
So get them tightened,bands replaced & a clean aswell. Your bands must be nearly all broken.
Goodluck

Try to call the same dentist anyways. You need for him to take care of this or at least tell you where to go from here. Do not put it off any longer though.
