Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts orthodontic expert witness services.
Reliable Clinical Experts orthodontists testify that root resorption is shortening of tooth roots during treatment. While mild resorption is common, severe resorption compromising tooth stability indicates excessive force or overly prolonged treatment. Orthodontists must monitor for resorption with periodic radiographs and adjust forces when detected — failure to monitor constitutes malpractice when severe resorption results.
Reliable Clinical Experts orthodontic experts testify that treatment can contribute to TMJ disorders if it creates malocclusion or unstable bite relationships. Proper treatment planning requires evaluating jaw relationships and creating stable, functional occlusion. Our experts assess whether treatment planning was adequate and whether the final result created or worsened TMJ symptoms.
