About KC Braces + Kids
Anxious kids get earbuds, movies, and breaks during expander and spacer placement, with Dr. Jared Christensen and Dr. Dave among the doctors named by families.
Reviews here lean heavily on how the team handles nervous or scared children, using distraction techniques and paced procedures to get through expander and spacer placement without a fight. Braces and early treatment with expanders come up often, and several families mention doctors waiting until baby teeth fall out before starting rather than rushing into treatment. Staff are described as remembering kids by name across visits, and a rewards system keeps younger patients engaged.

We love KC Braces + Kids! From the moment we walked in, the entire team was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Amy and Dr. Jared were especially wonderful - they helped my nervous son feel comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. We also appreciated the very minimal wait time, which made the experience even better. We’re looking forward to seeing the final results and highly recommend KC Braces + Kids!

My daughter (11yo) started her braces journey today and Jessica was AMAZING. She explained everything she was doing, let her watch through a mirror what she could, provided a fidget toy for her to have in her hands during the appointment, and spoke to her directly, but made sure I was receiving the important information too. After the appointment my daughter even said "she was so kind, I'm so glad she helped me today!". We're new to the office, but so far, very impressed!
