Answer: New orthocontist would not be a problem anywhere

By

Once you move into a new city. You should tell your orthodontist which town you are movin too, because you would be surprise that they may know each other. Also they may also help you pick one out for you.  Once you have found a new orthodontist to complete your treatment., the old orthodontist will transfer all your records( so you should not have to pay anymore money) and treatment plan.. The new orthodontist should follow them and if they have any questions they will contact them and discuss further treatment for you...You should not be alarmed at all. Good Luck moving and having the perfect smile for the rest of your life..
