About Children & Family Dentistry & Braces of Manchester

Dr. Namrita and staff calm even the most anxious young children through extractions and cleanings, though braces timelines can stretch due to staffing gaps.

This is a pediatric dental practice that also offers braces, Invisalign, clear aligners, early treatment, and retainers. Reviews highlight how staff, including Dr. Namrita, work with scared or autistic children, using stickers, distraction techniques, and patience to get through extractions and cleanings. Some families describe orthodontic treatment stretching on for years, with tightening visits spaced out every eight weeks due to staffing shortages, and scheduling more broadly is a recurring frustration, with long waits and cancelled appointments noted by a number of reviewers.
