I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Julie. Based on your location (Maine), here are some legal points:

times that the dentures made me gag,profusly,to the point i was throwing up,i took the dentures for a second opinion, the top was longer
Julie, when you say "the top was longer", do you mean the dentures were not fitting properly? This could potentially fall under product liability laws in Maine.
The top was longer than the bottoms, so it made me look like i had buck teeth, now they tell me that i have to get my money back from the credit card company which is *,* that like i said i thought would come back to me,ive now gone to another issurance carrier,still no dentures,what can i do
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Julie. Here are some suggestions:
*. Contact your credit card company about a chargeback.
*. File a complaint with Maine's Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
*. Consider seeking legal counsel for potential product liability or unfair trade practice claims.
I have contacted the credit card company, the person at Aspen dental tells me that the insurance paid for my dentures and i paid for the extractions,the credit card told me of a couple of items that they needed,i relaid the message to Aspen that sent a copy of the refund,but the other thing was a copy of how it was resolved, which it really wasnt Aspen told me they could make me another set,that i would have to pay for, how is that a resolution to the problem, wher i just put in over * for denures i dont have,i am on Social Security and cannot afford a lawyer! They have over * active lawsuits against them for things they have done to others, what are my chances of getting a full refund? They have misrepresented everthing lies,
I empathize with your situation, Julie. Your chances of a full refund depend on several factors.
- Maine's Unfair Trade Practices Act may apply.
- You may also find pro bono legal aid in Maine.
- Persist with the chargeback process with your credit card company.
