My daughter has seen Dr. Kuhn twice, but is not yet ready for braces. He is a very nice guy, as well as his staff.

Dr. Kuhn is great and his California office runs very smoothly. I've worked with them for years and never had a problem.

Dr. Hrescka is who I saw when I had braces in 8th grade (if that tells you how long he's been in practice ).

I vote Doumitt or Koterwas. I have never heard anything negative about either one.

[whose me]

Dr Kuhn is a great orthodontist...his staff is very cool...my son makes them laugh alot when we are there....

Dr. Hrechka has been around forever.. I saw him back in the early 90's. He had a office in oxon hill.. He and his staff were great

I'd wait a few more years before getting them braces. They're still growing too fast for it to last. Wait until they hit 13. I've known too many people to get braces early and end up with crooked teeth to bother with it until their growth slows down.

I 2nd that! Only my sons see Dr. Dilorenzo (same practice) and we go to the La Plata offfice. He and his staff have been really great with my two boys. My oldest is out of braces now and his teeth are beautiful (and the recommended treatment was MUCH less complicated and costly than that of the orthodontist associated with our dentist's practice). My youngest son is just starting out and I'm sure I'll be just as pleased with the results. Good luck!
