Four out of my five kids got braces with Baum Braces and each had a great result! Very pleased and very very happy! The people who work there are wonderful!

Dr. Baum is one of the best providers my children have, and practices like his are few and far between. I not only value his expertise, but him and his staff are extremely responsive, caring, compassionate, and professional. You will never have a doubt that the care and treatment plans you receive are evidence-based and personalized for your child.

Baum's braces did a really amazing job on customer service and at being welcoming to all their patients! I was very pleased with my results and my visits throughout the year and a half I have been here! Thanks for being so nice and all your hard work on my teeth! :)

Great ortho practice! Reliable doctors and great staff! Nonjudgmental and really helpful! Had my son finish his course, just finished mine (Invisalign) and have my youngest currently in treatment. Clean, professional, friendly! Love the receptionist Ann (?) Very relatable. Thank you Baum Braces!!!

Dr. Baum and his team are excellent. I was in ortho for years before going there and was not happy with the outcome each time. Dr. Baum was able to achieve what several other orthodontists were not able to. His intellect is unmatched! Thank you so much to everyone at that office for always taking such great care. Sooooo happy with my results!

I started with Baum Braces when I moved to Newtown in 2016, I was already four years into having braces and they made the transition as comfortable and smooth as possible, I had a different set of brackets than the ones Baum typically used but it was no problem for them at all. I was in braces for a total of six years and they were always super flexible about appointments, adjustments, and any occasion where I needed something fixed, for example, a bracket had popped off and they were able to get me in the next day. If you're new to the area or are just looking for an orthodontist, Dr. Baum and the rest of the team are amazing and I highly recommend them!

Dr. Baum and the team at Baum Braces in Newtown made the whole process an easy and exciting experience every visit. I was initially told getting my braces may take two years and it was done in only a year and a half! Needless to say, I am more than pleased with Baum Braces and recommend them to anybody in need of some braces.

Dr Baum and his team were amazing and we have only had a consultation so far! We went to them for a second opinion for my 7 year old after a terrible experience elsewhere and they were great with my son and spent the time to explain everything! It eased my sons mind and I am very grateful for that!

Dr. Baum and his team have been nothing but amazing! I've been working with them for the past 2 years and finally got my braces removed today. They look perfect. Everybody is so friendly and helpful. The staff answered all my questions and best of all I got my retainers on the same day. Thank you guys!!

We went to get braces for my son, who had a LOT of uncertainty about them. He really wanted Invisalign. The staff at Baum talked to us for an hour about the pros and cons of each, helped us with the cost and didn't bat an eye about us switching at the last minute to Invisalign and setting up a new appointment. They were fantastic and I would highly recommend them. They have always been exactly on time with our appointments and we are in and out. Very clean and wonderful staff. I can't say enough about them!

Dr.Baum and his team have been awesome: professional, friendly, understanding and results oriented. Three in our family used him for traditional braces and Invisalign (no one got both) - three happy campers! Very resourceful and compassionate with our special needs teen - achieved a great result. Don't want to forget Keith - the mold master- and the wonderful dental hygienists and assistants - all terrific! Appointments we're always on time and the place is spotless!
