Board-Certified Orthodontists

Both Dr. Smith and Dr. Christensen are board-certified orthodontists. This means they graduated with their dental degree, completed an orthodontic residency and additional years of training, have completed advanced written and clinical examinations, and have presented treatment cases for peer review. The standards for certification are rigorous, but both our doctors were up for the challenge!

Commitment to Quality

Our doctors are results-driven and unwilling to settle for anything less than their best. This means embracing advancements in technology, including technology that allows for highly accurate treatment planning. Creating stunning smiles is a passion our doctors share, and it is our team’s mission to deliver the results that make you happy.

Advanced Cosmetic Options

Improving your smile means improving your looks, but many clients worry about their appearance while their braces are on. That is why we offer advanced treatment options that keep aesthetics in mind. Clear ceramic brackets and clear aligners both offer incredible results while keeping your treatment discreet. If you have been delaying orthodontic treatment because you don’t want traditional braces, know that there are other options at Ankeny Orthodontics.

Current Technology

At Ankeny Orthodontics, we make sure we stay up to date with the latest technology and have virtually eliminated the need for old-fashioned goopy impressions. Most people squirm when they think about having to have impressions made of their teeth. Our iTero® Element™ digital scanner is all about patient comfort and quality of treatment. It delivers a digital impression that is much more accurate than a traditional dental impression. This digital scan can be used to fabricate 3D printed models, clear aligners, custom archwires, orthodontic appliances, and retainers!

When you visit our Ankeny orthodontic office, we want to get to know you and for you to get to know us. We’ll chat about what has motivated you to seek treatment, and any specifics concerns you may have, as well as your desired results. We look forward to meeting you!
