Orthodontic care for kids and teens

“My son was having an issue with his braces that was causing him a lot of discomfort. I had him try to deal with it. When it got to be too much, I reached out to the office via their text line. They asked me to send pictures. Within a very short time, Dr Khakhria responded. He opened the office the next morning just to see my son and make the necessary adjustments to relieve the discomfort.”
