How can I switch orthodontists?

I have sole discretionary custody of my son. The court has ordered his father to pay 85% of all orthodonture expenses. I agreed to try his orthodontist (friend) to keep things agreeable. My son hates the orthodontist though; we have gone to two appointments. During the first, the orthodontist outlined what he would do. Yesterday, we were to have impressions made. The doctor, without informing either me or my son, took impressions and put braces immediately on his teeth!





Not only had I not given my signed permission for this, I have not seen any paperwork with projected costs. My ex already gave him a $5000 advance, again without mutual agreement.





In addition to every thing else, four of the brackets on the braces immediately fell off (within 1/2 hour of being placed)





I have another excellent orthodontist to whom I would like to transfer our business. What steps do I have to follow: transfer of money minus work done already, etc...?

Communication is the key. Relate the above story to all parties and offices involved as it sounds like you have the final say as per court order (I'm not an attorney -thank God!)





It sounds to me as if the arrangements were made before hand via your ex and the orthodontist. I'm assuming that the orthodontist has no knowledge of the court stuff and will probably wish to make it as easy as agreeable as possible especially if you have legal grounds.





Most dental offices are very understanding and want to know what is going so that they don't get caught in the middle of the problem. So communicate, stay cool and all will work out.
