Originally born in Laramie, Wyoming, Dr. Brenna Christensen soon moved to Mobile, Alabama, where she grew up always wanting to be an orthodontist. She started her journey by graduating magna cum laude from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) with a major in biology and minor in art. Afterwards, she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she met her future husband, Jordan, who is also a dentist. She then went on to specialize in orthodontics, training for an additional two years at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and receiving her masters degree in dentistry.
Dr. Brennas special interests are in root resorption, short root anomaly and congenitally missing teeth. She believes that orthodontics is just as much an art form as it is a science, and she uses her background in art to help her design your new smile. Her training at both UAB and Louisville included utilizing state-of-the-art technology, including digital scanning, CBCT radiographs and virtual treatment setups, to help give patients the best and most convenient treatment possible.
Orthodontic treatment success depends on a collaborative effort between the patient and doctor, so Dr. Brenna emphasizes patient education and communication from the initial visit throughout treatment. She understands that for patients and parents, knowing what is happening during treatment and exactly why we are doing what we do is helpful to motivate and encourage them so that we can achieve the most ideal smile.
When not at the office, you can find Dr. Brenna playing with her Labradoodle puppy, Riley, practicing calligraphy, or painting. She loves to travel and try new restaurants with her fianc, Jordan, who is originally from Atlanta. A fun fact about Dr. Brenna is that she has been treated with three rounds of orthodontic treatment, including both braces and Invisalign clear aligners. So, along with being trained as an orthodontist, she has years of experience being a patient as well. She knows firsthand how important being confident in your smile can be and is honored and excited to be able to create beautiful smiles here at West Cobb Orthodontics.
Wendi joined the family here back in February 2014. She loves working with her friends and finds the work everyone puts in to make a beautiful smile incredibly rewarding.

Mimi has been with us since the first day we opened back in April 2010.

Unfortunately my experience was not what I expected. I had started with Dr Farrar and my because I was completing my treatment during the transition to Dr Christiansen I can only say that I paid for straight teeth and they are not. I can come back in and pay only $75 a visit and straighten them again, but not knowing how many office visits that will be and that when I started treatment and paid in full I was under the impression that they would not charge additional fees when my teeth were not straight. I did not know the practice would be sold and although Dr Christiansen said I got a good deal (which I'm sure is true) my teeth are still crooked and I'm not satisfied with the way it was handled. The staff is great.

Both my children have beautiful smiles thanks to their orthodontic treatments. So, after they were done, I jumped in to get my teeth straightened. I'm so very happy I did. So, parents.. it's your turn. They are incredibly professional, work around your schedule and are on time. I now love my smile.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. From the moment I set foot in the door I was immediately embraced with the warmest welcomes. I have never felt so informed and respected. The treatment plan I received has already exceeded my expectations. Thank you to the entire staff and I look forward to many more visits. Please don't change a thing....you all are perfect. :) UPDATE: I still LOVE this place! Every single staff member at this establishment is sent straight from heaven. I have never met such kind and caring people in my life. Like seriously nobody is ever having a bad day lol. I love how informative the staff are regarding my treatment plan and aftercare. My smile is absolutely beautiful thanks to such great care. It was well worth the 50 minute drive for me. If you are on the fence or skeptical about choosing an orthodontist please consider my absolute honest review! I'm very hard to please and my expectation has been exceeded by thousands!

Dr. Brenna was a huge help to my visit . The finished results for my retainer was incredible. I could tell they took time and focused on the small details as i do myself. The energy and personality she drew to the office felt very welcoming and they go above and beyond to respect your time. I feel so confident with my new smile and I'd easily recommend coming here for your Ortho needs . Thank you West Cobb Orthodontics.
