My nephew finished his Invisalign treatment at Downtown Braces today and I am really happy with how everything turned out. The office has a calm and welcoming feel and the staff are always friendly. Every appointment went smoothly and my nephew always felt comfortable. I also really like the doctor. He is kind, patient, and easy to talk to, which makes a big difference during a long treatment. The prices are OK and you might even get a discount. The only thing I would mention is that the office does not feel very modern. They use a regular camera to take photos of the teeth and it stood out to me because most orthodontic places use more updated equipment. It is not a problem, just something I noticed. A friend recommended this place to us and we traveled to Brooklyn for the appointments. In hindsight, it is a good and reliable orthodontic office. If you have a place closer to your neighborhood, it might be easier to go there. But if you choose Downtown Braces, you will be treated kindly and the experience will be smooth from start to finish.
My daughter and I absolutely love this place! Recommended by a parent of twins attending the same high school. Staff are so kind and professional…wonderful location; no waiting time; clean! I love how the dentist 1st asked my daughter what her concerns were! Then she explained everything so thoroughly that I didn’t have any questions! Only regret was not asking about the ceramic braces before they started…but my daughter likes the metal. Oh…that’s another thing! Today was our 1st visit and my daughter’s braces are on!!! 🫨 She absolutely loves them! 💚 You could imagine the selfies and group chats! 🥴 Downtown Braces…thank you so much! You’re AWESOME!!!
Dr. Z and the whole Invisalign team were amazing! Professional, friendly, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I was quite nervous and they were so calm and kind! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great orthodontist!
