We strive to stay abreast of the very latest in technology and advances by attending continuing education courses and annual American Association of Orthodontists meetings.
I have worked for Dr. Andy for 18 years as an Orthodontic Assistant. I earned my Associates degree in Assisting in 1986.

I love building trust with the patients and showing them we are here to help them and make each visit a special one.

At Kokodynski Orthodontics, it is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Visa, MasterCard and Discover payments are accepted. We thoroughly explain your options, so that we can accommodate your needs.
If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will file your claims.
Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.

Funny to see the "good with kids reviews" our experience is way different. Staff : good with kids. Kokadinsky : worst bed side manner ever experienced, snide comments, horrible with both kids and his staff, never thought very much him.. We haven't anyone we know say otherwise. Glad to be on the last child with braces. We never recommend, rather discourage folks from having to go through what we do. Good news for others is that there are plenty of orthos around so shop accordingly.

Dr. Kokodynski was my Orthodontist from 2013-2015. Fast forward to 2021, my dentist says I have perfect teeth! AMAZING! However, I have one complaint. One of my front teeth has a dent. My dental hygienist pointed it out and originally thought it was a cavity. My dentist says it is from having my braces on too long. It's not noticeable. But 14 year old me feels annoyed with Dr. Kokodynski. I wanted the braces of after a year or two. I wonder if that third year is why I have a dent. Lol!! Other than that no complaints!

First, Kerri behind the front desk is so sweet! My kids love her, especially my younger daughter. She has helped me many times with scheduling conflicts and she helped me calm my nerves when I was nervous for my kids! Secondly, the staff are all kind and caring. My son has had braces successfully put on and taken off, and my daughter had an expander successfully put on and taken off, even through Covid. They were extremely patient with my daughter, as her anxiety caused her to get overly worked up and sick. They were calm, talked her through it all and were able to continue, without ever showing signs of irritation. I have and will continue to highly recommend Kokodynski Orthodontics to many of my friends and family members. I'm just waiting for my daughter to get a bit older and she, too will be going through this great team of people to get braces.

Highly Recommend Dr. Koko and staff! They've made 2 out of my 4 kids smile - only 2 needed braces. :) They are highly skilled, kind & accommodating. Absolutely no judgement on rescheduled or missed appointments. They also worked with me on payments. My son just got his braces removed and I received a friendly, brief letter detailing the appointments needed for follow up care and what the future will look like. They also schedule my appointments via email promptly. Love and Thanks!

Where do I begin, I liked them at first. We moved during my oldest daughter's treatment and they worked with what she had and didn't over charge. Our second oldest need braces and once again we had to move during treatment. I called several times to see what kind of money we could get back due to not finishing service and they refused to give any money back even money for a retainer she never received. They also used all of the insurance money (which is only once in a lifetime use) instead of using as we went along. The only reason why we'r used them was mainly convenience. They are the only orthodontist in Burlington and are not even there but once a week. My advice is shop around and look into an office more readily available.

My husband and I were in town from Colorado. My husband has braces and we left home without his wax. His mouth was being cut up and he was in pain. I called and the staff was more than happy to help us out. Not only did they have the wax ready for us when we got there, with big, warm smiles, they did not charge us. A wonderful place and if we ever move here, we now know where to go!
