My questions were answered already. SML doesn't have a single Orthodontist in their operation. No response to an Orthodontist being able to practice in his office as a GP as well, guess I'm right on that one.
I did see a lot of lip service to the information that the GPS that work for SML have lots of experience. Not what I asked for, or put forth. SML has no Orthodontist, or any Orthodontic training, just experience.
Not interested in seeing their "professional" plans, as they are not professional orthodontists.
I agree to disagree.
When the laws and or rules change, O.K.
I do see the professional plans of the Orthodontists I work for.
Every time, and it has been few times due to the reaction of the Orthodontists I work for, SML comes up, they look like they have smelled something bad.

I do like having this info here for all to see and make up their own minds.
Disclosure of the practice needs to be made. The "It's o.k. this way, but not that way" doesn't work for me. Then again, I don't depend on it for income, never have, never will.
If you find this to be still defenseable, o.k. Seems to me to be a finished point.
With that, I will always point out the imbalance and educate when ever this comes up, as to how things are.
I will only offer suggestion on appliances when ask by an Orthodontist. GPs generaly have no clue and need it all explained, then are just happy to get something that moves teeth.
If they are interested in Orthodontics, they are welcome to become and Orthodontist.
