Dr. Eckhart is the worst orthodontist ever!!!! Please do not take your children to them. I saw him with I was a teenager for braces and for my overbite. He was in the process of creating an experimental device called a MARA, that was supposed to help correct an overbite. This was a torture device. There were prongs that constantly cut up my cheek. I still have scar tissue inside my mouth from his contraption. On top of this torture device, he ripped out a molar that his MARA was on without novicane. I told him he was ripping out my tooth, but he said, ""Don't worry. I'm a dentist, I know what I'm doing."" One more yank and it was out!!! My father finally realized I wasn't being a dramatic teenager (re: all the complaining about the pain), and switched me orthodontists immediately. Because of him, I have a horrible fear of any kind of dentists. Thanks Dr. E for the wonderful job!
