"***I want to add that Sperry, Tivis, & Wentz have always gone above and beyond for our family. It is truly amazing to me that orthodontics has come so far since I was a wee teen. One thing I have loved is that Dr. Tivis works closely with my youngest daughter's pediatric dentist, Dr. Jackson.(who-by the way- used to work at Wentz when I was in braces back in the day) I appreciate that there is collaborative communication and commitment to my youngest's best interests. There are so many reasons to look forward to our appointments there, we especially love getting to see all of the kind faces, but also love to get an ice cream or cookie on our way out. ***Wentz Orthodontics has been our orthodontics go to for decades! I had braces as a young girl, my oldest daughter went there and now my youngest is beginning her journey there as well. The Wentz Team treats us all like family! We are so grateful for their services and their dedication to helping us smile beautifully and confidently. They are very good at what they do, I appreciate them all so much! There are also fun events planned throughout the year that they invite us to. My daughters and I have always felt special with Dr. Wentz and his team. I would recommend this office to anyone for a free consultation of services."

"30 years ago I got orthodontics at Wentz. It was a smooth and impressive operation then, and even more so now that my two kids are doing Invisalign there.Other medical providers should take note of how they run things… scheduling an appointment is easy and flexible. They are always willing to work us in if we need something in between visits, and best of all the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Both of their offices are bright, cheery and feel welcoming to nervous patients.I appreciate the fact that with both my kids I paid once and never had to write another check for the duration of their treatment regardless of how many visits we needed. Dr. Wentz has always been awesome, but we have found the addition of Dr. Tivis is a great complement to their practice."
