braces for a bargain I totally I'm
nervous I telling them like are you
because I don't know you know but on my
entire life I've used it in is you know
I'm gone to the dentist and stuff like
hey why are you you know because I are
you liking dental work being advertised
online by an unlicensed woman making
deals on her front porch now at state
investigation getting underway and the
real dental experts sounding the alarm
about this activity when teeth are moved
too quickly what happens to those roots
they shrink over time but what happens
and then the teeth get loose and then
the tooth may fall out today at 5:00
help me Hank first exposed this bizarre
story the hidden camera video revealing
what could be a real danger now our
concern vascular Hank Winchester shows
us what's being done to stop this woman
and protect the patients
[Music]
Braceface anyone the ads themselves look
absurd but the rock-bottom price is
intriguing some top and bottom races 300
total tightening 450 fixing 10 to 20 and
whitening 465 the woman behind the ads
unknowingly met with our undercover
producer on the porch of her Detroit
home and we quickly realize this
unfortunately is not a joke I've seen
the Facebook page we see how like right
there but the rest - straight my
confrontation and more of the
hidden-camera exchange in a moment right
now meet dr. robert de pilla a trusted
and respected cosmetic dentist with
offices in Birmingham Detroit and New
York dentist and orthodontist we're not
just mechanics of the mouth we are
doctors of the mouth and to me that's
that's paramount doctor to pillow-like
many you've seen these ads upset to
learn this is actually happening it does
happen and the consequences could be
severe it's about the maintenance and
also the follow-up and also the
diagnosing and like I said earlier it's
not about just putting the brackets on
and putting a wire across and
unfortunately you know what I see is
anyone could go on Amazon and buy
brackets and wires and adhesive to do
that but getting dental work like this
done by someone not properly trained
could cause severe damage as you can
have TMJ issues muscle spasms you can
have loose teeth you can have teeth that
can come out and state investigators
make it clear those performing
procedures like these not only violating
at the standards they could be facing a
felony charge I've been in touch with
state licensing board officials the
Michigan Dental Association and now
Detroit police investigation is getting
underway to stop this woman from
continuing this activity I told you I'm
nervous I telling them like are you
because I don't know you know but on my
entire life I've used the dinners you
know I've gone to the dentist stuff like
big like are you you know because I are
you liking the names this woman gave us
not connected to anyone licensed as a
dentist orthodontist or dental hygienist
[Music]
are you performing dental procedures
they're doing braces now when you have a
procedure like that you have to go to an
office you have to deal with the dentist
this is you've got people just showing
up at your porch giving you money to get
braces on their teeth this is crazy this
is crazy
who was that person here for was he here
for braces no he wasn't
you want to know how I know you're lying
because that person is an undercover
producer for us
and moments after the confrontation
wrapped a new message posts it on her
Facebook page clearly upset about being
busted the most surprising part a
comment a woman writing so wait you
can't do braces anymore
no doubt investigators taking a closer
look at those Facebook and Instagram ads
and also that hidden camera footage
trying to learn more about this woman
and what's really going on as the
investigation moves forward I'll keep
you posted
I'm Hank Winchester help me Hank what
even more bizarre to us even Hank who
feels like he's seen it all aha
