My dentist is an ortho/dentist. But if I want a second oppinion about braces would he be offended. And could I be with another othodontist even though he is both?

The Dentist being offended doesnt matter its your call, if you feel uncomfortable then leave. My step father is a dentist, and if someone wanted a second opinion he would be a little upset but he would be fine. If you go with one ortho/dentist it is good to stay with them unless you feel you should change. Usually a dentist can look at the work already done and go from there.

At this point screw him. If you want a second opinion go get it. You gotta realize this is your money/insurance and you need to get the best advice and service. Choose wisely though..Good Luck!

ALLISON,
AN ORTHODONTIST DOES NOT DO GENERAL DENTISTRY, SO YOUR GENERAL DENTIST DOES ORTHODONTICS.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER AT ALL?
IT MATTERS ON HOW HE IS LISTED IN THE PHONE BOOK AND UNDER LICENSE.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE PATIENT, HE IS THE CLINICIAN. YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW YOUR DECISION PRO OR CON AFFECTS HIM.

It's your health. Your allowed to go to any doctor you want. He shouldn't get offended, I'm sure he understands its just business.
