No, an orthodontist cannot ethically charge for services not rendered. Billing for services that were not provided is considered fraudulent and can lead to disciplinary actions by licensing boards and legal repercussions. Patients should be informed about any charges and services performed, ensuring transparency in the billing process. If there are discrepancies, patients should address them directly with the orthodontist or file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory body.

If current orthodontic services are being rendered to a minor child of the debtor will the child still be able to continue the service without paying under Chapter 7?

I'm not a lawyer but I would say no unless the orthodontics are correcting something life-threatening. After all, you'd be asking an orthodontist to continue to provide services to you after not paying what you already owe him and with the understanding that you may not pay him for future services either. No orthodontist (or any professional) is going to agree to that. You're better off not including the orthodontist in the bankruptcy and paying the orthodontist bill. After all, after you're discharged, you WILL have extra income so you can use that to help pay the dental bills. ~ T
