We decided to get a second opinion with KC Braces after being referred to them by a friend for my son’s need for expanders.They were extremely fast in getting us in for a consult, answered any questions we had. We chose them over the other company as they were super knowledgeable, and the staff so friendly my son loves going there! They have been so easy to schedule and reschedule with and has been a great and painless experience so far!

We decided to visit and get a consult after being recommended by a friend. The office staff is very friendly and professional. The pricing was less than 2 other consults we received. I love that it's a family of dentists/orthodontists operating the practice. My kids were treated with patience and kindness. I'm so happy with our decision to go with KC Braces!
