About CT Braces - Bridgeport Orthodontics

Starting orthodontic treatment early, well before all baby teeth are gone, comes up often for young patients here, alongside Dr. Fadi Ankah's step-by-step explanations for braces and Invisalign.

CT Braces - Bridgeport Orthodontics sees a steady stream of young children starting phase 1 treatment, more so than at many practices, and families often bring multiple kids through braces or Invisalign over the years. Dr. Fadi Ankah is described as calm and thorough, walking patients through each stage of treatment and answering questions before starting. Reviewers also point to noticeable results, including closed gaps and straighter smiles, and a handful mention completing treatment in around a year.

I went to the office today to have my braces applied on. It was a wonderful experience. From the moment I was placed in the chair all the way until I was done. Amazing experience and I’m looking forward to my braces journey:-)

The staff at CT Braces has been nothing but amazing since going into their office. My daughter had her braces placed in 2 years ago and has never complained about anything while in their care. Today she finally got her braces removed 🥳 Overall, I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
