Welcome to Wentz Orthodontics, where you are greeted and treated like family. Our team is led by the dynamic brother and sister duo of Dr. Ed Wentz and Dr. HollyReeves. They have been creating smiles in an atmosphere that is easy for parents and fun for kids for over 32 years. We want our patients to live life smiling!

For some people, life is compartmentalized into neat, little boxes; one for work, one for faith, one for family, and so on. For us, work is a natural extension of our families lives, our faith in God and a pretty good measure of fun. We approach everything we do with one goal in mind - to make a positive difference in people's lives and to honor God in the process. We have been blessed with a great team that shares our single-minded goal, and we couldnt be more thankful!

The overall dental health of each patient is our primary concern. We enjoy a comprehensive approach to care by working closely with each patient's family dentist as well as other specialists when treatment calls for interdisciplinary care. We will work together to remove the barriers that are preventing you from having the smile you deserve. You will be presented with different treatment options specifically tailored to your needs and sensitivities. You are in control of your options and we will help guide you to make the choice that is best for you.

Our love of orthodontics began with our father, Dr. Clarence Wentz. He was an orthodontist and the US Armys consultant to the Surgeon General. As young children, we had the benefit of growing up experiencing the joy our dad received by caring for the orthodontic needs of his patients. We were his patients as well and enjoyed the transformation of our smiles.

The Wentz family is committed to providing patients with high-quality orthodontic care in a fun-filled family environment. In fact, our assistants were among the first in the state of Texas to be certified as orthodontic assistants, many of who have been practicing orthodontics for over 32 years. We are committed to continually educate our team members so we can provide the latest and most up to date orthodontic therapy. We consider our team the best because that is what our patients deserve.

Invisalign treatment is a technique that straightens your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-modeled to fit your teeth. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile of which you will be proud.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or wires to trap food and plaque. Maintaining a good oral hygiene program will also reduce chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. Invisalign is made to fit your lifestyle:

The Invisalign system has been successful in giving hundreds of thousands of amazing smiles to both teens and adults. Wentz orthodontics will create your individual treatment plan using Invisaligns clear, custom-molded aligners to solve a range of issues, including: Overly crowded teeth, Widely spaced teeth, Overbites, Underbites, and Crossbites.

Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance but your lifestyle as well. As an adult, you may be looking to improve your smile for business and social reasons. Or perhaps youre a teen or the parent of a teen looking for an effective yet modern-day solution. Either way, Invisalign and/or Invisalign Teen can provide a simple way to accomplish your goals without having to put your life on hold.

Sure there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but none offers the level of comfort and convenience that youll find with Invisalign. No matter what stage youre at in life, youll appreciate how our cutting-edge approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself.

While the results may appear the same, when you stop and compare Invisalign to other teeth-straightening options, the advantages become quite clear. With Invisalign, the aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but theyre also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.

Not all orthodontists work with Invisalign, so its important to find an orthodontist who has received the proper Invisalign training and can truly evaluate your needs and determine how Invisalign can help you. Wentz Orthodontics is an Elite Preferred Invisalign Provider, meaning that we are in the top 1% in the nation for providing Invisalign treatmentso you have come to the right spot.

Based on your individual treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners is then created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that wont irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do. Simply wear your aligners throughout the day and remove them when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually begin to shift into place.

Approximately in one week, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, advancing you to the next stage of your treatment. To monitor your progress, you will also have occasional checkups with our office, usually only every six weeks or so. For best results and a timely outcome, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, throughout your entire treatment.

Proper upkeep and good oral hygiene are essential in keeping your Invisalign aligners clean, invisible, and odor free. The aligners can be easily removed for eating and drinking, however, failing to properly clean your aligners afterward can result in discoloration and a buildup of bacteria.

To maintain clarity, it is good to periodically clear debris from your aligners with a soft toothbrush and water, but do not use toothpaste due abrasives that can create micro-abrasions that make your aligners cloudy and dull.

Do not eat or drink (anything but water) while wearing Invisalign. Many foods and drinks can stain or discolor your aligners. And rememberusing toothpaste to clean your aligners will scratch the plastic and dull your aligners. These scratches can also create small traps in your aligners for bacteria to dwell.

I am thankful for having the opportunity to grow up in a family where I was able to watch my dad enjoy the profession of orthodontics. His passion for orthodontics was contagious, and the transformation orthodontics had on my friends was amazing. It was so rewarding that my brother, sister, and I all chose to follow in his footsteps. For us, our work is truly a family tradition.
