I hereby certify, on behalf of myself, and all those who may now or in the future have any interest in the care and treatment of myself, that I have, on my own volition and as my voluntary act, requested removal of my orthodontic appliances by Dr. Krieger.
I further acknowledge that Dr. Krieger has advised me against removal of said appliances at this time, and has informed me that there are significant risks in doing so, including, but not limited to, shifting of teeth, impairment of treatment results, relapse, and decline in my dental and orthodontic health, as well as the consequences resulting therefrom, and specifically including the following risks: relapse of the teeth, deterioration of the bite, worn or chipped edges of the teeth resulting from future tooth wear as it relates to a poor bite, pain of the joints of muscles of the head and neck, inability to clean around the teeth, gum disease, poor esthetics, effects on self-esteem, and other discussed risks.
In consideration of, among other things, said Doctor’s agreement to remove my appliances at my request and such removal, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I do hereby, on behalf of myself, and all those who may now or in the future have any interest in the care and treatment of myself, now and forever release and discharge said Doctor, his/her agents, employees, professional corporation, insurers and assigns from any loss, costs, damages or expenses arising out of the removal of my appliances as aforesaid.
