I am not happy with my brace treatment and I would like a second opinion. Can you help?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have had braces for 2 years and 2 months and am not happy with the result. My teeth are still not straight and and now instead of being crowded have some gaps. Also, a bracket constantly falls off, last time it was reglued it lasted 2 hours. I would really like a second opinion but don’t know where to go or what to do? Can you help or give me some advice if this is normal? I don’t know what to do. I’m not even sure if I can ask a second opinion…. Thank you for any advice,
