Hello,

I am looking for an orthodontist in the Los Angeles area to fix my
overcrowded teeth. For the past few weeks I have been to several
orthodontist offices, but was not satisfied with what I heard. A few
claimed that I needed to get some teeth pulled in order to even
everything out, but I am unwilling to do that. I know that my teeth
are not that crooked and that braces are sufficient, although perhaps
less efficient. So far, I haven't found anyone who is willing to work
with me. Therefore, I have come to Google Answers looking for an
orthodontist who is not rigid and who has some compassion regarding
their patient's teeth. Is there anyone out there who knows of such a
orthodontist in the LA area?

Also, all suggested orthodontists should be male.

And I am already aware of the following websites and orthodontists:

My daughters went to a wonderful orthodontist in Manhattan Beach. 
Perhaps this is close enough to you wherever you are in L. A.  He
doesn't believe in pulling teeth and he also runs a very efficient
office.  His name is James Eckhart at 321 12th Street, #112, Manhattan
Beach,  90266.

If you do opt for treatment with him, I'd like you to say I referred
you so I can get a discount on my next daughter's treatment.  Please
contact me if you use him.
