I had a similar experience as Aj G, where my concerns were only barely acknowledged and never…read morereally fixed, but as an adult (and I imagine at least someone else who put "helpful" to his review also can relate, especially given what I've seen on Health Grades under Weddle as well).
I had braces as a kid (great board certified ortho, now retired) but lost my retainer in my mid 20s and my teeth and bite had shifted some with OTC overnight grind guards and I wanted to get everything back. I had what must have been a complicated case for Weddle as he was open that he needed another orthodontist to help him plan out treatment, and I very much valued that candor and the fact that he went to others immensely. A wise person knows what they don't know, right? He must really care!
I had close contacts of most of my teeth (a good thing, it helps prevent cavities), and nothing resembling TMJ/TMD when I first started treatment. I now have wider gaps in almost all my teeth besides the front eight (and no more close contacts with any) and placement that now results in food getting stuck in my front teeth, and needing interdental brushes daily now for my second bicuspid through molars as well, when before I never had to go spelunking for food stuck in my teeth after a meal. I went from 3 cavities needing treatment in my entire adulthood to being a high caries risk patient mid treatment on. My bite should have been widened a little bit back to its original, as I had requested, but instead with IPR was left narrowed. My front teeth still hit my bottom front teeth when I talk and chew once a week (I asked about this repeatedly but was told I'd "adjust"), and I now experience jaw popping regularly. After years and thousands of dollars, my bite was not fixed, but made worse.
Weddle was rarely present for appointments, especially once I fully paid (in contrast, I saw my ortho every single appointment I was in braces 20 years ago, which also took 4 years). Care with the rest of the team became more slapdash over time as well. A button from a back tooth was totally missed when they were removing them, though thankfully it was caught by my dentist a few months after. My scan for my retainers also did include that button, and more frustratingly, was missing half of a molar. I would have had to pay to get it redone to fix their errors because I didn't put them on in office and catch it there immediately but waited until after finishing the final trays to open and use them, so I had to use them as is. In one of the only times I saw Weddle in those last couple years, a front tooth was shaped without my being asked - if so, I would have said that it was also shaved down after my braces (their own x rays should have shown that too), and to please leave it alone. Instead that shaving made it so I had a dull ache, and sharp pain with anything remotely cool or warm, in that tooth for weeks. Even with full time prescription sensitivity toothpaste in the two years since, the pain comes back occasionally. My smile and facial structure also looks worse than before I started treatment, and I've lost SO much confidence. I would look into shelling out money I don't have with another orthodontist to see they could try and make the best of my situation, but I'm afraid of having to deal with even further damage to my dental health with a third stint in orthodontics.
Why this is two stars and not one? There was a short time I was being told what we were doing, and why, early on. Everyone was very friendly throughout, yes. Scheduling was easy. Teeth were indeed moved. But what I mostly comes down to is that I blame myself a lot. I had a VERY bad gut feeling as I was about begin treatment and almost backed out, then allowed myself to be talked into it by the Weddle team because they seemed to be caring and knowledgeable. Since this hadn't happened to me before I wrote off my intuition as anxiety, despite only positive experiences with orthodontics and all dentists prior. I should have paid more attention to that gut feeling instead of the sales pitch.
All in all, I'd recommend that at the very least you also consult with people who are actually board certified. And speak up when you first encounter any haphazard care, no explanation, or non-answers - I was too much of a trusting people pleaser and just let this happen to me thinking it'd all somehow work out if I trusted the process. There are clearly many raves here, my acquaintance who recommended Weddle to me seems to be happy with her results, but if you are one of the unlucky outliers, you likely will have many regrets.
