< I am a Christian and I am a mother >
Hello all. I am a 36 year old married mother of three boys. I have my degree in Forensic psychology and business management- human resources, I work in social services while juggling my three children and a marriage. When I originally joined this community I was excited to get back into what I love and that is helping people through listening, understanding, and guidance. However I quickly found that through my desire to help others, others are helping me. I have found my advice column beyond rewarding. I have found myself getting extremely passionate about each and every question that I read and respond to. The more the questions the greater the connection I have found between people of all walks of life, ages groups, races, gender, and religion. What I have found to be our greatest bind is love. Love for others and the love of being loved.

my old orthodontist is claiming i owe him a large remaining balance when i know for a fact i paid everything up front ($5,000) to be exact! anyways, i moved to a new state and i wanted to know if i am able to go to a new orthodontist without having my records sent over because my old ortho said he refuses to send the records unless i pay it all off. i don't care how much it costs, i just really need to find a new ortho who will work with what i have. thank you all in advance.

I would explain the situation to the new orthodontist and hopefully the new one can work with the info they have or just frowm taking xrays and doing an examination.

However, do you have any receipts or bank statements from what you paid the other orthodontist? You don't want the situation to come back and haught you later donw the line. This bill that you already paid could show up on your credit report reflecting negative accounts which could impact your ability to get jobs, cars, homes, and loans. You don't want these problems so try and rectify the situation if there is anyway possible. You may also want to make mention that it is unreasonable to believe the orthodontist would have done all this work for you if you hadn't paid any money. Generally they want money upfront and each month if it hasn't been paid in full. So, why would they let a $5,000 bill rack up. Doesn't make since but get this taken care of asap.

Back to the new orthodontist. I'm sure they can figure out a solution. Money talks, if you have money they have a method. There are plenty of people that actually get braces more than once without giving past dental records, so I'm very certain you will be fine. Good luck!
