About CT Braces - Stratford Orthodontics
Multiple children from the same family often complete treatment here, with staff easing nervous kids through braces and Invisalign visits.
Reviews describe a practice well suited to families with several children in braces or Invisalign at once, with a sibling play area and staff who ease anxious kids through appointments. Parents mention specific outcomes like corrected overbites, aligned front teeth, and impacted teeth successfully treated, along with doctors Dr. Cass and Dr. Ankah walking families through bite correction and adjustment visits. Several notes point to quick turnaround on lost retainers or broken spacers, sometimes handled the same day.

So I called to schedule an appointment for a consultation that my doctor had recommended. I spoke to a women with booking appointments. She was able to get me in the day after in the morning. I received a call this morning in regards to my consultation appointment from a women with the doctors team notifying me that my appointment was gonna be a telehealth call with the doctor at their office. So I refused to continue with the appointment since what’s the sense of going to the appointment to not see the doctor only thru a small tiny screen. Now would you think the doctors team, coordinating staff and some others would be on the same page knowing that fridays would be only video calls rather then actual physical appointments where the doctor is present. No they’re not and I found that out this morning during the call. I mean how unprofessional is that. Took a day off from work just to get played with. I wonder if Ct braces will pay my wage for the day for playing with my time.
