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:-)
From start to finish my experience at CT braces in Bridgeport Main was excellent, from the front desk to my Dr every single staff there is amazing, friendly and willing to help you through it all. No matter how many questions I had I never felt rushed or judged. Overall amazing!
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!
No complaints, they did what they're supposed to do.They're nice and they get the job done, they gave us instructions, plans, deals and the doctor is very nice.
I was a bit nervous not knowing what to expect but everything went smoothly. The staff is exceptional! They walked me thru everything answered all my questions. Today I got my Braces installed and so far its been 7hours and I have no pain or discomfort. 10/10 experience definitely recommend.
