About Celebrate Dental & Braces - Kansas City

Same-day braces placement after the first consultation is common here, with reviewers pointing to results like a 31-month case finishing smile-perfect.

Celebrate Dental & Braces is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign and TMJ treatment, though many reviews here focus on braces cases handled start to finish. Reviewers often describe treatment results that hold up well, from a child's braces finishing in about six months to a longer 31-month case with a well-aligned outcome. Pricing comes up often too, with some calling it a fraction of what they paid elsewhere, alongside a smaller number who found crown and cavity charges surprising. Timelines can run either quick, with same-day starts, or slower when crown work or bridge orders stretch out.

Orthodontic care in reviews

Orthodontic reviews describe multiple children in a family getting braces at the same time, with same-day placement after the initial visit and a de-bond process called smooth and easy. Outcomes are generally described positively, including a 31-month case with a good final result, though a couple of reviews mention teeth shifting after retainer noncompliance or an unrelated treatment delay.

While I don't question the quality of their work, I do want people to know more about what to expect for the first time here. If your priority is to be in and out quickly and don't care about the hectic pace, then you'll be fine. The way the clinicians are pressured to do fast work stresses me though. The orthodontist is practically running from one patient to another to do quick inspections. Neither the assistant nor orthodontist seemed to be able to spare the time for questions. To this day I have no idea what my treatment plan is or if it aligns with my goals. My evaluation didn't come with a one on one discussion with the orthodontist developing my treatment plan.
