$350,000 Settelment Against an Orthodontist

Thomas Reilly of our office settled a case on behalf of a 47 year old Bronx woman who was caused severe root damage to her teeth by her orthodontist.  The plaintiff treated with the orthodontist for a number of years.  As a result of the treatment the roots of her upper and lower front teeth sustained severe resorption.  At the time of the settlement the plaintiff had not lost any teeth.  Two years prior to the settlement her oral surgeon has suggested extraction of 10 teeth and replacing them with implants and restorations.  The defendant failed to take x-rays to determine if root resorption was occurring during the treatment.  The defendant claimed that he root resorption was present prior to the treatment he performed.  This matter was settled in October of 2011
