About Brace Busters

Gentle, low-pain adjustments and calm handling of anxious or special-needs kids define the experience at Brace Busters more than almost anything else.

Reviews at Brace Busters return again and again to how comfortable the treatment feels, with parents noting that even nervous children and a patient with autism came through adjustments calm and without pain. Coordinators are described as walking families through treatment plans and payment options in detail before braces go on, and the office itself comes up as clean, modern, and well-organized. A smaller number of reviews mention feeling pushed toward treatment or frustrated by slow follow-up on issues like broken brackets or retainer redos.

I had a really great experience at this dental office thanks to the wonderful assistant who helped us. My son Mason had an appointment, and she was incredibly kind, patient, and explanatory. She explained what to expect with his next visit and what will happen in between. which I truly appreciated. She was very thoughtful and made sure we both felt comfortable. It meant a lot that she didn’t rush through anything and was happy to answer my questions. Her calm and caring attitude made the whole experience much easier, especially when bringing a child to the dentist. It’s clear she truly cares about the patients and families she helps. Her kindness and professionalism made a big difference, and I’m very thankful for the support and guidance she gave us. Her name is Molly & she is a great asset to this office and I wish more people in this world were as kind as her! 🫶🏼

My son had his first visit here and it was an amazing experience! The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and made both of us feel comfortable right away. Everything was quick and smooth, and they were very patient with him which I really appreciated. The office was clean and had a great atmosphere. I’m so happy we chose this place and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

My son came as a consultation for braces. Needless to say he was a bit anxious & nervous. We were greeted by Dawn & she was the sweetest! She definitely made his experience a lot more pleasant & helped calm some of his nerves :) We were very happy with our experience.

My son has been going here for a while now. He feels so comfortable with everyone who has seen him in the office. He appreciates that they speak to him directly breaking down each visit so that he is on board and knows how to properly care for his braces. He was not a fan of getting braces but the office has made the journey easy for him. Its a clean and tidy environment and looks so cool in the back part where the dental work gets done. He also goes to cavity busters so yea overral great experience great office and will recommend to others 👍

Love this location. Very nice place and spacious. Julie works at the front and every interaction I have with her has been nothing but pleasant. She is so sweet and helpful. And I love how you are in and out unless you have a longer appointment.
