Orthodontic Specialties

As an adult I am still upset about what this place did to my teeth as a child. They excessively ground my teeth as instead of actually getting my bite confirmation correct and now as an adult an having to get Invisalign to fix my bite (this place did poorly) in order to protect my already quite heavy thinned enamel (from the excessive grind this place did) Also the way they ground my teeth was not aesthetic, they shortened my teeth and made them asymmetric and not straight. It would take veneers to truly fix what happened at the hands of Dr. Murphy but at this point I'm just trying to preserve my natural teeth as they last the longest despite the aesthetic damage. So now I'm paying to straighten my teeth (again) that have been filed down in a way they cannot really look straight or correct ever again just so that I can stop them wearing through the enamel. I also believe my two brothers had similar outcomes with overzealous grinding of teeth. To address reply I was unhappy with the work as soon as I got my braces removed. 1, When my braces got taken off after the grinding I had intense tooth sensitivity I went to the dentist for due to the excessive grinding. To this day I cannot have tooth whitening performed without pain in the same areas. 2, I tried to get consultation about whether I could take action against your practice my dentist said what you did was technically correct but also agreed it couldn't be called quality work. 3, My dentist did a further small amount of grinding on the back of my upper teeth where the right canines still had excessive contact (while I still had both permanent retains in) and is an issue that persists to this day. You didn't make enough room for my bite or truly sort out some of these issues (it's the right canine that got ground down so severely that I had shooting pains for the first several months of getting my braces removed) 4, My teeth gapped on either side of the permeant retainer, that's why its outside of 7 and 10. I did after this had already happened have my retainer removed and replaces with a removable one which, your office would have no record of as you didn't perform this work. Just because I am getting around the the review now doesn't mean I wasn't always unhappy with the work, I think it was poorly quality, and that is why people leave reviews. To let others know their satisfaction with a service.

I am from Beloit, I started going with Dr. Murphy 2 years ago. I was shopping around in Janesville, Beloit and Rockford. Dr. Murphy was the best and most reasonable quote I received. I paid for my braces out of pocket with monthly reasonable payments. :)

WARNING. We had a consultation and given our quote for our son. During which we told them I was moving out of state for a new job with new insurance. We paid fully up front and the insurance pays out a check each time. What they didn't tell us was once I moved the insurance company will no longer pay and they keep the difference. So we lost $650 and Brenda told us this happens all the time. We could of just waited 6 more months for braces when my new insurance started.

Can’t say I would use someone who charges $350 for a simple consult . I am looking for braces and I can’t pay everyone I get a consult with hundreds of dollars! How are patients going to find the best fit for them , meet Dr and get feel for treatment if this costs them so much . You make hand over fist in braces , aligners and retainers alone.

Affordable, kind, caring, knowledgeable and professional. He gave me the smile I always dreamed of and never thought was possible! His staff is out of this world, too!
