About McKenna Orthodontics | West Hartford Office
McKenna Orthodontics | West Hartford Office is a dental practice on South Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

McKenna Orthodontics (West Hartford) has been absolutely wonderful with all three of our kids. Our oldest just finished his orthodontic treatment and his smile is beautiful! They are professional, caring and everyone is just wonderful with the kids and adults! Thank you for being so good to us! 1 down and 2 to go!
All the staff is Amazing!!!
Top 3 Orthodontists, and they all work together ❤️
I had my metal braces when i came over from Philippines. When i found McKenna Ortho in West Hartford, CT (they also have a branch in Windsor CT) i found comfort with the staff’s smiling faces, greeted me warmly and nicely. Friendly staffs. Very accommodating when i have issues with the schedules and thankful for their assistance to credit my dental benefits from my work. My doctors, Dr. Paul and Dr. Mike are very good in their field. Very knowledgeable and they did a great job in making my SMILE BEAUTIFUL again! I highly recommend their clinic when you have issues with over-bites like mine, and any other issues—-just call them and get an appointment! It was worth it. Kudos to ALL in McKenna Ortho👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Mabuhay🇵🇭
We had a wonderful experience with my daughter’s orthodontic treatment at this office. From the very first consultation, the team was professional, patient, and very welcoming. Dr. Paul and Dr. Michael were both excellent—knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and truly caring. They took the time to explain the treatment plan clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure my daughter felt comfortable at every visit. The entire process was smooth, and we could really see the progress step by step. The staff is friendly and organized, appointments run on time, and the office is clean and well-managed. Most importantly, my daughter is very happy with her results and feels much more confident with her smile. Highly recommend Dr. Paul and Dr. Michael to any parent looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Started my Invisalign journey a few years ago at McKenna’s. The provider’s and staff are wonderful. They are welcoming and made sure I was satisfied with the process and results. I recommend them to everyone.
McKenna Orthodontics is incredible. They have been upfront about the process the entire time, understanding/patient with me, and they make me feel that they are genuinely invested in the outcome of my treatment. Every step of the way they take the time to explain exactly what is happening and why we are doing what we are doing. They have included me in every decision and taken my input seriously. I am beyond glad to have chosen Mckenna Orthodontics for my treatment, I will return to them for future treatments, and I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for orthodontic services.
Absolutely phenomenal service! The front desk ladies have always been pleasant and my daughter’s braces process has been smooth. The Docs are great, our family will be bringing my other kids here in when they are ready!
After our prior orthodontist closed we were not sure what to do but a Google search brought us to McKenna Orthodontics and we have been pleased with the Orthodontist and the staff members. They have been accommodating, nice, and very helpful. The fact that they have multiple locations is also very helpful. The service and bed side manner has been great so far.
