Wentz Orthodontics is truly top notch. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. The visit feels well organized, and you’re treated with genuine care and respect. Dr. Wentz and the team are extremely thorough, taking the time to explain each step of the process and making sure all questions are answered. The state of the art imaging and technology they use is impressive and really helps you understand your treatment plan and progress. If you’re looking for an orthodontic office that combines knowledgeable providers, friendly staff, and modern, high-quality care, I highly recommend Wentz Orthodontics.

I tried to make an appointment to get a 30 year-old permanent retainer repaired, and they said they won’t do any repairs and only take patients who want continual orthodontic work. I guess I won’t be bringing my son to them when he does need his orthodontics done, because they are so unhelpful.

I’ve gotten braces about roughly 8 years ago and now I’m getting them again due to my own fault, but I love this team! All so kind and they do so well.
