Orthodontists and Pedodontists are dentists that spend an extra 2-3 years of University training focused exclusively on growing patients' dental needs and moving teeth; guiding and creating beautiful smiles. We receive a specialty certificate and license demonstrating that we are experts at crafting amazing smiles. Family dentists that provide braces and invisalign receive only limited training for a few days at weekend courses. Consequently, their knowledge, experience, and outcomes are limited. Choose an expert for your smile, choose a Specialist.

We specialize in Braces and Invisalign for Children, Teens, and Adults and Comprehensive Dental Services for Children and Teens. We have been proudly serving our Kansas City, Gladstone, Liberty, Parkville, and Platte City families for over 12 years.

It all started when the Midwest winds blew the stork off course from Hawaii to deliver me to a hospital in Oklahoma City, OK. Since that time, I have called many places home. Raised under the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip by loving parents, I enjoyed spending time with my 6 brothers, playing high school sports, and exploring the great outdoors. During college, I spent the summers working cattle, mending fences, and fishing for catfish on my familys farm outside of Cameron in Northwestern MO, and the rest of the year I had my nose in the books. While in college I met the girl of my dreams, Jada, a beautiful southern belle from Charleston, SC. Meanwhile, I also managed to get a Bachelors degree in Animal Science. I then attended dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina and graduated 4 years later in the top of the class with honors. I was invited to membership in OKU, the National Dental Honor Society. I then spent 2 additional years at Marquette University in Packer country acquiring a Masters degree and a certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. As lady luck would have it, the Midwest winds began to blow again and they led me to build a successful practice with in Kansas City, Missouri. Myself, my wife Jada, and my 4 sweet children absolutely love it out here on the frontier close to family, friends, and the farm!

KC Braces and Kids were FANTASTIC! Excellent bedside manner, and they took the time during the consultation to describe the different procedures and helping me choose which avenue I wanted to pursue for my orthodontic care. Thank you all, I look forward to working with you over the coming couple of years!

Very good with children. Explains everything they are going to do thoroughly so they aren't surprised or afraid. My 8 year old son had a palate expander put in today and he was smiling and happy the entire time. They definitely make the experience fun.

We are on our second kid at KC Braces+ Kids. We really appreciate how Dr Christensen doesn't rush kids into braces, but really focuses on the right time based on their teeth and situation. Other orthodontists we visited felt like they were a " braces factory".

My 13 yr old just got his braces on today. We had a great experience at Kc braces + Kids. We visited multiple orthodontists. Right away we knew KC Braces + Kids was the right place for us. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very clear about the treatment plan and cost. The hygienist was super friendly and explained every step so as to easy my son's anxiety. Both Dr Jared and Dr David are so nice and answered all of our questions. I anticipate that their incentive program will be very motivating for my son to keep up good oral hygiene. We have and will continue to refer our friends to KC Braces + Kids!
