About Oltjen Orthodontics
Dr. Jay Oltjen takes a conservative approach, often monitoring young patients for years before starting braces rather than rushing treatment.
Oltjen Orthodontics treats a high volume of braces patients, more than typical for the area, and many families return with multiple children over several years. Reviews highlight Dr. Jay Oltjen's careful, conservative philosophy, including cases where he recommended waiting or avoided treatment altogether rather than pushing unnecessary work. The practice's Olathe and Overland Park locations and holiday hours are noted as convenient for busy school schedules, and the office is described as organized with modern technology for tracking progress.

Oltjen Orthodontics is a great place to go to if you are looking to get your teeth fixed/straightened . The people at the front desk are extremely nice and are helpful with scheduling your next appointments. Megan and Jennifer’s warm welcoming smiles are something I look forward to seeing when coming in to get my braces worked on. Everyone there is super nice and are good at being able to pick up on if you want to chat or just have a quiet session besides the scheduling and instructions they give you. They also offer a rewards system for kids to get free things and they walk you through the rewards you can earn and what you have to do that gets you those rewards. I truly love this place as it is warm and welcoming and you can tell how they all really love what it is they do there.

The best orthodontist! All the staff is amazing. They have an awesome point system where they can earn prizes, gift cards, etc that encourages the kiddos to do well with their braces and keep up on their brushing and flossing!!! Helps so much to keep kiddos motivated to earn those prizes. So happy we found this gem after doing consultations at three other orthodontists!!!
