You’re not just another patient—they remember your preferences, they celebrate your wins, and they make the whole orthodontic journey actually enjoyable (which is saying a lot when rubber bands and tightening are involved!).Highly recommend this team if you’re looking for people who truly care, are amazing at what they do, and make the process fun along the way!"

"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."
"The WENTZ location on 84th is so amazing!! I went in to get my Invisalign treatment started and had the best assistant - Brylee! She was so sweet and answered all the questions I had. She and Dr. Tivis made the whole experience very seamless. I would 20/10 recommend!! :))"

"Dr. Tivis is by far the best orthodontist I’ve had experience with. He’s cutting edge, doesn’t rush treatment, always makes sure you aren’t wasting finances before the ideal time, listens to what will work best for the patient and is unbelievably personable and kind! We’ve had treatment experiences with both Invisalign and braces. Also, Brylee is a top not orthodontic assistant. She is meticulous at what she does… The best we’ve had!
