"My experience with Sperry Tivis and Wentz was awesome. Technology has certainly improved and the whole process of being fit for Invisalign was quick and painless. Everyone was incredibly polite and everything was explained in detail."
"We love Wentz! They have been sooo amazing with Samuel’s dental plan to help straighten his teeth! In 8 months he has had such a huge transformation! It’s been sooo neat to watch his retainers do big changes not just physically but emotionally for Samuel! He is no longer self conscious about his teeth and smiling! His smile matches his beautiful eyes! Thank you for being sooo sweet and caring with Samuel each visit. He’s excited each time we go!"
"I really loved how our visit at Wentz Orthodontics went. I have two children who saw Dr. Tivis for an evaluation. We were able to schedule an evaluation and have their braces and aligners set up that same day. They were able to work with us to ensure that the monthly payments would fit within our budget. The technology at Wentz Denistry is top of the line and the whole process was explained in detail. The customer service is top tier. Dr. Tivis was incredibly kind and spent a lot of time explaining everything to us. I would definitely recommend Wentz Orthodontics to my friends and family for any of their orthodontic needs."
"I had a great experience with Sperry, Tivis, and Wentz Family Orthodontics. Kathy and Dr. Tivis are super friendly and helpful They did a great job informing me all about my Invisalign treatment."
"***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."
"I love the staff of Wentz..my oldest got braces back in 2013, and now my 8 and 11 year old had spacers put in a month ago, and then braces is our next step. I love the friendliness and inviting atmosphere they give. We've always been treated great and the girls in the front are so welcoming . I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND WENTZ, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTEDUpdate.: This is my 4th in braces and still friendly and exceptional service."
"The team at Wentz Orthodontics went above and beyond to provide us with the best dental experience ever! Friendly and a very caring staff. Awesome environment with great employees. Most of all my son got his braces off and he loves his teeth. Thank you Wentz. Highly recommend to family and friends."
"Devon and Dr. Tivis were the BEST! They were so happy we were there and did such a great job explaining the whole process. My daughter was excited to get her braces and we are happy to be starting this journey at Wentz!"
"We had a wonderful experience at Wentz! We went in for our consultation and they were able to put my son’s braces on in the same appt! He was so nervous and they did a great job explaining the process, making sure he understood what was happening, and talking him through every step of the way! Highly recommend!!!"
"We have had a wonderful experience so far at Wentz. My daughter has been here for quite some time now and still going strong. We love the atmosphere and staff here which makes my daughter super comfortable coming here for all her braces needs- can’t say that I’d take her anywhere else. I definitely recommend this place! We absolutely, hands down, love Devon! She’s the Best! 10/10"
"Wentz Orthodontics is absolutely amazing to work with! I went in and had a fabulous experience and am very excited to begin my Invisalign treatment in a few short weeks. The staff is delightful! They work really hard to not only make your experience fabulous but also affordable to everyone’s situation! Highly recommend doing business with Wentz Orthodontics! They will take care of you AND your smile!"
"What an awesome experience for my 2nd and 3rd child in braces. The Wentz team was so kind and worked with me and walked the kids through the whole process. I would never go anywhere else. Thank you guys. ☺️"
"This has been a long road for my little girl. Her teeth are looking amazing. I was skeptical on putting her in the invisilines but they are doing the job much faster and more comfortably than regular braces. We still have new teeth erupting but if anything changes the Wentz crew is on it. Fixes any issues right then. Love love love not having to drive in for appointments like we did with the older kids. She takes her scans from home and by the morning we have instructions for the next step. She loves going to her visits. Everyone is so sweet. Thank you for making this a great journey for her"
"Best experience ever! It was super affordable and very family friendly! They explained everything so well and we're very quick to help us with a monthly plan that worked for us. Once we stepped in the door we noticed right away the kids area where there were games for the kids and coloring pages to keep them busy while we waited to go back. Once we went back we were greeted with so much warmth. They sat us down and explained what was needed in great detail with amazing technology that showed models of my sons teeth. It was amazing to see what he really needed, we hadn't seen it explained like that anywhere else. They were very quick to get us back and we had a sweet woman named Emily who placed my sons braces. She was absolutely lovely. She did a really great job and was so so kind to my wild bunch. My 10 month old was restless and the girls were amazing, they gave her a balloon and a new toothbrush to chew on to keep her busy. Once we were finished they let ALL of my children go pick out an ice cream (i have four kids and only one of them got braces)We were headed out the door and the doctor played a quick game of miniature basketball with my son, a challenge that was started at the beginning of the appointment 🤣. Honestly I've never had a better experience at a doctor or dentist with my kids. What could've been a stressful and overwhelming experience was actually so enjoyable. Thank you to all the staff at wentz orthodontics, you really made our day🫶💙"
"My youngest is my second to have braces through Wentz! It’s amazing to see the results at the end. They do a fantastic job from the beginning to the end! Thank you!"
"“We are so grateful to have found Wentz for our daughter! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and cared for. Kathy, in particular, went above and beyond to make the experience smooth and stress-free. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism made a huge difference, and we truly appreciate the exceptional service she provided. Dr. Tivis and Caitlin were amazing throughout the braces process, ensuring everything was smooth and stress-free for our daughter. His expertise and care gave us complete confidence in the treatment. The entire team is wonderful, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality orthodontic care. Thank you, Kathy and Dr. Tivis, for your warmth and dedication—you made all the difference!”"
"My very first time dealing with Wentz and never had an issue, every time something happened with my daughter’s braces they didn’t hesitate to get her in and fix the issues.All around great people and great environment.I definitely recommend."
"Wentz is beyond fantastic. I am so glad we chose to go with them for orthodontic care. In just a short 9 months, my child’s teeth alignment has vastly improved and he is on the road to possibly being done with Invisalign in just a few short months. Wentz has caring physicians who have went the extra mile to make sure my child was cared for and monitored as often as needed. Very thankful for their care!"
"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."
"I just got my braces off today and I’ve been dying to leave this review !!! I had my braces for 2 1/2 years customer service was wonderful at all times !!! From the very beginning to today it was always pleasant!!! Majority of these 2 years Bri assisted me and she was amazing !!! She always made me comfortable, asked me how my life was going and always remembered our last conversation even though my appointments were weeks apart !! Bri definitely made this experience 10/10 and I will always recommend WENTZ to everyone !!! Thank you for my gorgeous smile !!"
"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!! :))"
"I’ve been going to Wentz for my invisalign’s for a few years now and i’ve never had any issues! The receptionists are and kind and the dental assistant Sarai is beyond helpful and very sweet; they have a wonderful staff here. Additionally, my invisalign journey was smooth and the results were superb."
"Wentz has always been great with scheduling and working around moving appointments if necessary, the cleanings by Celia and Heather have been great!! I would highly recommend them!!I also used Wentz for my Invisalign!! Such a great experience from start to finish, so happy with the results, Dr. Tivis and Sarai Went above and beyond And exceeded my expectations, When I thought I had finished my last set of liners, Dr Tivis wanted to do one more set just to get them as close to perfect as we could!! Highly recommend Wentz!!!"
"We took our daughter to Wentz for a braces consultation. We were very impressed with the welcoming environment and friendly atmosphere. Dr Parker was very knowledgeable and was able to easily explain the whole process. While Kathy made use, feel at home. She walked us through all the financial options as well as introduced us to all the staff and showed us the braces journey process. We definitely recommend anyone interested in braces to come to Wents orthodontics here in Lubbock."
"The entire team at Wentz Orthodontics has been fantastic since my first appointment! I've had 2 teens go through their program for braces and saw the service and results they received so I decided to go back for Invisalign treatment after having my braces off for 33 years! It was a fantastic experience! Dr. Sperry and Dr. Tevis were fully transparent with their expectations and I couldn't be happier with the results! Wentz supports so many great community initiatives including sponsoring Youth The Teams of the Game at Texas Tech Athletics events that it made it easy for me to decide where to send my business! Guns Up!"
"Had a free consultation set for my daughter. She loved the way she was treated. She chose to have her braces started. She chose Wentz over her general dentistry place. Great place for your kids braces!!"
"I highly recommend the one of 82nd in Lubbock. They were so nice and sweet. Made my daughter a welcome sign that said happy birthday too. She felt so special pulling up to her parking spot sign. If they take that much time making them feel special and welcomed then they truly care about their patients. My daughter was so comfortable there. She already asks me when is her next appointment. I love how we get to do weekly scans. And are able to see the progress of their braces. She only has had them over a month and you can already see the difference. The office is clean and organized too. She loved the ice cream at the end too. So if your kids or even you need braces or Invisalign I highly recommend wentz!!!!"
"My two teens went to Wentz on 84th we had Macey as a dental assistant. She was great at explaining everything we needed to take care of with their braces. She was really sweet and respectful."
"I’ve been a patient at Wentz for over a year, I’m now reaching the end of my treatment with Invisalign and I must say it was an amazing experience. Dr. Tivis, was great and took his time with me, he listened to all my concerns and made sure I was completely happy with my results. His assistant Macey G. went above and beyond for me, she made sure I was comfortable, taken care of and all my requests were taken into consideration during my entire treatment plan. I highly recommended Wentz Orthodontics ask for Dr. Tivis and Macey they made a great team for me."
"Saraí Hernandez has been so great throughout my braces experience so far! Everyone at Wentz is so great"
"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.

"my visit with Wentz was absolutely amazing. No headache no hassle no worries at all. From the first day of the examines til now we have had nothin but excellent service. If I need help any questions appointments emergency and non emergency I have gotten assistance right on time. Special shout out to Dev. She has been a BIG HELP during this whole thing. Anytime I need help she is right by my side. I’m happy I chose Wentz for my boys braces. I’ve been recommending them to everyone I come across even thinkin about starting braces for myself wit them soon."
"I had braces when I was 14 with Dr. Wentz and my experience then was amazing. Coming back as an adult for touch up invisalign retainers has been just as easy, painless, and a beautiful process all the way around. I greatly appreciate the entire staff and their professionalism and attention to detail as well as over all kindness. I would highly recommend Dr. Wentz and the entire team to anyone needing expert orthodontic care."
"Today was my first and new patient appointment consulting for braces and let me tell you this place is bad to the bone! The environment is clean and just WOW! The staff is incredible they made you feel welcomed and comfortable provided with some refreshments as you wait and AFTER they have ice cream WHO DOESNT want ice cream after going to the dentist?! I was pretty impressed! Staff, environment, and service just great! Thank you Wentz excited starting my braces journey with y’all!"
"Love Wentz orthodontics so much !! They are so professional, sweet and they always make sure I’m comfortable whether it’s how I’m sitting in their chair or if I’m comfortable with my braces 😁!! I definitely recommend both locations here in town"
"Very friendly atmosphere and the staff were extremely helpful and amazing. Both offices were very clean and organized. When you walk in it's like walking into a warm cozy home. Very welcoming Staff all around and the Doctor's were amazing too. I would highly recommend Wentz Orthodontist to anyone who wants to improve their smile with braces 😀 😁"
"I now have a 3rd child in braces and we went back to Wentz. We had such a great experience the 1st two times. The price is more than fair for the exceptional service you get!My older two have beautiful smiles and both had a positive experience overall!!I want to add that each time, I’m more and more impressed. They really take the time to get to know you - as family! It starts at the top and WOW they’ve done a great job."
"After looking around at numerous orthodontist clinics....we chose to go with Wentz and mainly because of the staff. They are so friendly, caring and really care about their patients. My daughter has barely started her braces but absolutely loves the staff, clinic and experience. She's set to wear her braces for 18 months and I feel like we will continue to get outstanding service. Paying our bill is very easy as well. I don't really ever leave reviews but because of their impressive customer service and care...I just had to voice my happiness!"
"You can tell these people truly care about others and just want to help. My retainer got bent so I called around to see if anybody could fix it for me (I got my braces in Idaho many years ago). The folks at Wentz said they'd try to fix it, at no charge. The other office I called was going to charge me $575. I had never been their patient before, but they treated me as if I were an old friend. Dr. Pearson was so kind, did a great job fixing my retainer, and never made me feel like an inconvenience. I will send everybody I know to this office!!"
"My son just got braces. The staff was so friendly and very helpful with all of our questions. We left there feeling more than happy with the decision of choosing Wentz!"
"Very clean & great staff. Everyone was so helpful & kind. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great orthodontist for braces. Thank you to Dr. Wentz & all his staff."
"The establishment is beautiful, everyone at the front desk makes you feel like they are so happy you are there. They welcome you and are extremely friendly and kind. You know from the moment you step in, you are an important part of their day. They are always on time and when you get back to the X-rays they walk you through everything step by step so you feel extremely comfortable. Once in the chair you are immediately forested with the sweetest hygienist. They are always so gentle and always explain what they are doing throughout the process. Dr Wentz is amazing and gives you the feeling you just might be his favorite patient. My daughter had her braces done by Wentz when she was 12, she is now 21 and her smile is amazing! I am now In braces at 38 and it really has been an awesome experience. I have Had them for 2 months now and have seen significant movement.You will not be disappointed in your visit to Wentz!!"
"I love the staff of Wentz..my oldest got braces back in 2013, and now my 8 and 11 year old had spacers put in a month ago, and then braces is our next step. I love the friendliness and inviting atmosphere they give. We've always been treated great and the girls in the front are so welcoming . I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND WENTZ, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED"
"This place is fantastic!! There are no other words!! Transparent billing! Dr. Wentz is amazing! He takes his time with his patients and makes sure everything is perfect!!! I highly recommend!! Dr. Wentz even personally wrote my son a card with specific details about our visit the week before and a personal phone call from him the day after he put in the braces just to make sure everything was going well!! We love Wentz Orthodontics!!"
"For my first time at an Orthodontist appointment, it was an awesome experience. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. I am so excited to start my Invisalign journey and to have started with Wentz!"
"The Staff Is AMAZING! As Soon As I Arrive I Am Greeted With My Own Assigned Parking With My Name On It. When I Get Inside I Am Greeted By The Sweetest Receptionists Ever. Don’t Even Get Me Started On Trisha! She Explained Everything So Clear And In Depth. I Had No Questions, She Covered Everything. I Decided To Get Braces After A Long Conversation With My Husband. Best Decision Ever! I Was Seen And Treated The SAME DAY!!! Dr. Wentz Was Very Handsome And Took Very Good Care Of My Teeth. Overall I Would Give This Practice A 10/10! Thank You So Much For The Wonderful Experience. I Will Recommend This Place To All My Friends And Family!"
"Wentz received me for a consult and put my braces on the same day. Dr. Wentz called me on day 2 of braces to check in. Incredible orthodontist."
"We love Dr. Wentz and his staff members! This is a great team! They made my daughter feel so comfortable from the beginning to the end. The day after she had her braces placed on, Dr Wentz personally called to check on her! She has had nothing but wonderful experiences each time we go in to the office. We took our first son 14 years ago and now we are back with our 11 year old. I would recommend them to anyone who would like to have a great smile and great experiences at the same time. They are number #1 in our books."
"Amazing staff and facility. Dr. Wentz has been amazing to my son who is younger but needed braces. Highly recommend! ❤️"
"I love the staff at Wentz! We are on our second family member to do braces with Wentz. 2 down 2 to go!"
"Wentz made getting braces a BREEZE!! I was terrified because before going in I was haunted by horror stories from friends "oh they hurt!" "Your going to want to snatch them off!" I went in... they put them on, warned me of what I will be experiencing and they put me at ease. Every visit! not just the first. EVERY SINGLE VISIT! They are informative. Ask a question and they will have an answer 99% of the time! Thanks Wentz for my braces and soon I;ll have a gorgeous smile!!"
"Amazing staff and doctors! My son was super nervous about his first apt to the orthodontist making me nervous too. We were welcomed with a front row parking spot with his name on it. The ladies at the front desk are extremely nice and made him feel at ease. The kid friendly waiting room with iPads, selfie station and life size robot immediately took his mind off his anxiety. I cannot say enough great things about how the staff treated my son. They made sure he knew what was going on during his initial photos and xrays and joked with him the entire time. Dr Wentz took his time talking with us making sure we understood everything. They were even able to put his front four braces on the same day which helped with nervous anticipation. Renee was our assistant and she was amazing! She let him watch and told him everything she was doing. She was very personable and took time to tell him how to take care of his new hardware. He even got ice cream on the way out. I say all this to say, any kind of “teeth” appointments can be scary for kids and parents but this office has thought of everything possible to make kids and parents feel at ease. I can not recommend them enough! Thank you for making our first experience a memorable one for my son. He can’t wait for his next apt!"
"Wentz Orthodontics has been amazing! They helped with my oldest son and explained everything throughout the process. If any of my other 3 boys are ever in the need for orthodontic work, I would go nowhere else but here. They staff are the friendliest in town and work great with all their patients. It was a surprise when my oldest needed braces and we weren’t as prepared as we should’ve been, but they offer in house financing. I highly recommend Wentz!!"
"I take both of my boys to Wentz Orthodontics. We absolutely love going to see Dr. Wentz and his staff. They are accommodating when scheduling my boys appts, saving me time and gas. Dr. Wentz and all the staff members are the most friendliest and nicest people. My son is so close to having his braces removed and I can't wait to see his beautiful smile."
"My son started his braces back in March and since that very first visit, we have had ONLY positive and educating experiences. And although almost every chair in that office might be filled with a patient, you are always made to feel just as important. I like that the Ortho Assistants hand a mirror to my son and show him "this is what you should expect and what you should or shouldn't be doing etc." Plus the ice cream and cookies are always a PLUS!! I highly recommend Wentz.."
"Everyone that works for Wentz is so friendly. My kids love coming to their appointments. Wentz pricing is is so affordable that we currently have 2 in braces!"
"So happy with Wentz Orthodontist. They did my son’s first set of braces and just recently his teenage braces. His teeth look so great and his smile is beautiful. I love all the staff at Wentz!!"
"We sure love Wentz! We’ve already completed braces there on one of our kids and getting ready for the second one. They have taken great care of us!"
"Dr. Wentz has been so great during the process of my daughter getting braces! His staff is always so friendly! Will definitely be back for kiddo number 2!"
"Absolutely love this place! After dr Wentz heard about my daughter being bullied about her smile he jumped right in and said let's fix that. Since then my daughters smile is amazing and myself and her mom got braces aswell! The staff is always so loving and wonderful. Thanks Wentz for the best experience and getting my family a billion dollars smike."
"I currently have my 2nd son receiving braces at Wentz Orthodontics. Qe have experienced great customer service, amazing monthly payment options, and quick in and out care as needed. My oldest who had braces prior to moving here had his retainer break and Wentz was also there to assist and made it so easy. A huge thank you to all of the staff and for those specifically that help my child. I made a wise investment not only on my child but on our orthodontic team."
"We love Wentz! Two of my children have braces and Wentz has been amazing! Its affordable and the staff is awesome! Always smiling friendly faces!"
"My son has been a Wentz patient for about 2 months now. We had originally made an appointment with another dental office before we came here to get him braces. But I knew from the moment I spoke to the receptionist that this would be the place to go. EVERYONE has been so helpful and caring with my son. We are happy with the staff and especially the prices Wentz has provided to us, we definitely made the right choice in coming here!"
"We used Wentz for my oldest's braces. They took very good care of him and was always there whenever we had questions. We will be using Wentz for our next 2 kids! LOVE THE WENTZ FAMILY"
"Got a retainer from them to help keep my teeth straight. I received braces many years ago and lost my retainer. They were so nice to work with! Thankful for Wentz!"
"I've done Invisalign with Wentz and the turn out has been great. Very good alternative to braces for adults."
"They are awesome. I started my braces in Dallas and when I went to tech I continued my braces with wentz. In Dallas I paid twice as much. Here, they will negotiate the price and give you a good payment plan. They are very easy to reach. The staff members are professional, experienced, and extremely friendly. The only things you may encounter is difficulty rescheduling if you miss an appointment, due to their busy schedule. I was a little skeptical about the place at first but after a few appointment I realized how awesome this place is."
