8He is a nice man and my mom and I wrongfully trusted him. I went to Dr Kleinrock from ages 10-16. Started out as him putting on braces to fix a gap in my bite from pulling out a tooth (I didn't have a permanent tooth in that spot as seen in x-rays he took) which drastically exacerbated my existing TMJ. While having the braces on I had told him my jaw was clicking which he said was normal and I was just going through puberty. When I got my braces off after a few months, my teeth shifted a bit. He told me it was from "over wearing" my retainer (I did not, I followed his directions exactly). He re-did the braces on my bottom teeth to shift things back. Again after a year of having just bottom braces, a few moths after they came off my teeth shifted back. My jaw clicking continued and as I got older became accompanied by pain and headaches. Over time, this eroded my jaw bone which has caused consistent pain into my late 20s. TMJ is visible in x-rays taken from when I was 10 and the symptoms I told him were clear indicators. I have since been to another dentist who has corrected most of Dr Kleinrock's errors but I have to live with them to this day.
