Answer:

complex (dependent clause + independent clause) :

Although the dentist did not find anything wrong, Sue's mouth still hurt.

compound-complex (dependent + independent + independent) :

Although the dentist found nothing wrong with Sue's teeth, she still had a toothache, so she went to bed.

compound (independent + independent) :

The dentist did not find anything wrong with her teeth, but Sue continues to have a toothache.

simple sentence (a single independent clause):

The dentist did not find anything wrong with Sue's teeth.

"DO NOT ANSWER BASED ON THE OTHER EXACT QUESTIONS, THEY HAVE BAD RATINGS."

You can be 100% confident of my answer. I don't rely on other peoples' responses, nor do I answer questions unless I'm fully qualified as an expert on the subject matter. :-)
