About Children & Family Dentistry & Braces of Hartford

Children & Family Dentistry & Braces of Hartford provides orthodontic care in Hartford, Connecticut, treating children, teens, and adults seeking alignment correction and bite improvement.

Dr. Schafft and Dr. Khalid, both members of the American Association of Orthodontists, lead the practice and offer clinically appropriate treatment options based on individual patient needs. The practice provides Invisalign clear aligner therapy, with recognition as a Diamond Plus Provider reflecting substantial case experience with the system.

The practice operates in Hartford and serves patients throughout the surrounding Connecticut communities. A complimentary initial consultation is available to evaluate treatment candidacy and discuss options. Online booking allows patients to schedule appointments directly through the practice website.

I want to give a special review to my son’s hygienist, MERCEDES. My son is on the spectrum, and this was the third time she has seen him. The first visit took quite a long time because he was very nervous and unsure, but Mercedes was incredibly patient and understanding with him. Now that she has gotten to know him, the difference is amazing. At this last appointment he felt so much more comfortable with her, and everything went smoothly and much faster. It’s clear that she really takes the time to understand her patients and make them feel safe. I’m so grateful for her patience, kindness, and the way she connects with my son. Because of her, dental visits have become a much more positive experience for him. I will absolutely continue bringing my son here, especially to see Mercedes. Thank you for the wonderful care!

I absolutely love this office for my kids. The tech who did my son's teeth was extremely patient with him and was singing to him and playing with him to keep him calm while getting his teeth clean. He has autism and that's the first time at the dentist he hasnt cried the whole appointment so I definitely appreciate her and the doctor was really nice as well. I didn't have to wait more then 4 minutes before being called in after arriving there.

Although the staff is amazing and treated my children with such great patience and care; the wait times for appointments are absolutely horrible. I arried 15 mintues before my daughter's appointment and she was not seen until almost 2 hours of her appointment time. The office really needs to work on promptly taking patients. I had to miss work because both of my daughters appointments took almost 5 hours.
