Having orthodontic treatment is choice, not a dictated medical procedure, so people are here because they want to be. That translates to spending my days with positive and engaged individuals who are excited to see the changes in their smile.
It is incredible to see the transformations that occur during treatment, as the patient moves from feeling self-conscious aboutteeth to being comfortable with their appearance. From visittovisit, my team and I can see peoplesself-esteem blossom as they see the changes in their smile. By the time treatment is finished, each person is brimming with confidence and cant wait to share their smile with the world!
My father started this practice in 1960 and I worked here while in high school. Seeing his interactions with patients, and how each person became happier and more outgoing during treatment, inspired me to follow his lead.
I attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, receivedmy Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 1980, and completedmy orthodontic training in 1983. After that, I returned to Fairfield and joined my father in this practice.
One of the most fascinating aspects of orthodontics, I feel, is the constant innovation and development of new treatment options. Staying abreast of the changes in techniques and technology benefits my patients, as I am able to incorporate the best into patient care. This ensures efficient and comfortable treatment, and predictable, stable, and truly beautiful results.
I attend numerous Invisalign lectures and conferences, as well as the American Association of Orthodontists annual meeting. Additionally, I attend many conferences to learn about the latest in dental technology and have traveled to Germany, Colombia, Brazil, and Japan to learn from leading researchers and practitioners.
I am a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and Connecticut State Dental Association. These organizations provide access to new and emerging research, updates on trends in oral healthcare, and training in the latest technological options.
I have spent my life in Fairfield and am glad to have raised my three children here. My two sons are both dentists: Gerald is working locally as a general dentist, and Max is finishing a residency in New York. Leah, my daughter, is a Navy veteran and has a young son.
I really enjoy interacting with our patients and love establishing connections to make each feel safe and comfortable. Everyone at Braun Orthodontics feels the same: We make treatment fun and enjoyable, while focusing on the best care! I assist Dr. Braun with procedures, provide hands-on care, and handle Invisalign bondings.
Im currently a student:working toward my bachelors degree and pursuing a career in nursing. I live with my parents, brother, and our little dog, Stella. When Im not studying, or working, I love to discover new places, play volleyball, and spend the day at the beach with friends.
I like working with our patients and helping each develop a healthy smile they love, especially the kids. I enjoy seeing the Invisalign process and how pleased everyone is with their treatment and results. We have a relaxed environment, inwhichwe all get along and help each other to make sure our patients have a good treatment experience.
I am a foreign-trained dentist, and am currently studying for my masters degree in orthodontics, with a focus on digital orthodontics. In my free time, I love playing games with my two kids, traveling, and cooking. I also reada lot, like soccer, and enjoy watching American football and basketball.
I enjoy coming to work and helping patients reach their smile goals. It sounds clichd, but there is a real different in confidence and attitude from the first day they walk in to the day they get their braces or Invisalign aligner removed and that new smile appears. It gives everyone at Braun Orthodontics a sense of accomplishment and gratitude to be part of that process! Dr. Braun treats each patient with honesty and integrity, and that dedication holds true for each team member.
I like meeting new people and strengthening friendships with our patients and their families. As an insurance specialist, I handle all the paperwork for our patients, and makesure they are able to get the most from their benefits. We have an amazing practice, I think;Dr. Braun and my teammates always put our patients at the forefront and we share a dedication to providing the best treatment and results.
I consider myself a happy person and like to show that to everyone I meet. I have a great husband and three amazing kids, plus a small doggy we call Shadow. I love to craft and be creative, love to watch cartoons and Hallmark movies, and always try to see the good in people.
I am a very simple person: I enjoy spending time with my family, my fianc Dan, my little man Boomer who is a pit bull, and my friends. My hobbies include sleeping, napping, snuggling my dog, and watching House Hunters.
We are a locallyowned practice: Dr. Thomas F. Brauns name is on the door and he chooses to provide a family-friendly and patient-oriented environment, where you are welcomed as a friend and treated like family!
Dr. Braun and our team are proud to offer advanced orthodontics, using leading-edge technologies, and to make treatment affordable. We believe you deserve a beautifully healthy and confident smile and we believe achieving that smile should be a worry-free experience!
Dr. Brauns father opened the practice in 1960. In 1983, Dr. Braun joined his father and remains committed to ensuring that our patients are always our number-one priority! It has been an honor to have created generations of smiles for 60 years. We are now seeing the grandchildren of some of our first patients and theyre being brought in by their grandparents!
