I have loved Dr. Jensen’s work! We are on our 4th child, and he’s always steered us in the right direction for long term benefits. Other ortho’s suggested some quicker treatments, but none that would be best for our child’s situation. Staff is always friendly and welcoming!

We love Smile Ranch and Dr Jensen! He has taken great care with three of my kids who have had multiple types of pre-orthodontics and braces and now they have perfect smiles. Their office is friendly and clean and the hygienists are kind and very good at what they do. We are so happy with the care we receive here at Smile Ranch!

We have been so impressed with this office. The staff is incredibly friendly and positive. They ficus directly in my kids Esther than just talking to Mom and phrase most of the decisions to the kids, giving them a say in what's happening. The cookies at the end of the appointment are a huge bonus, too! Agreed with many reviews-this office won't recommend treatments that aren't needed.

Questions & Answers

What can I expect from my free consultation?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

We’ll walk you through what to expect with orthodontic treatment from start to finish. We’ll scan your mouth to see what kind of treatment you need and help you choose the right option for you. When we’re finished discussing each treatment option, don’t forget to pick up a fresh-baked cookie on your way out!

What makes the Smile Ranch different from other orthodontists?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Unlike other orthodontists we base our cost on the amount of time spent on treatment, not the type of treatment. What this means for you is that the cost for traditional braces is comparable to the cost of Invisalign® aligners, if the treatment time is estimated to be about the same.

Do I have to miss school to make my appointment?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

We do our best to offer a variety of appointment times to make it possible to get treatment without missing school. However, there may be times that your student will have to miss school for an appointment, but we do our best to keep them short and fast.

What’s the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists. Orthodontists spend a few more years in school to specialize in orthodontics. While some general dentists offer Invisalign treatment, if you want the best orthodontic treatment, you should find a licensed orthodontist who is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

Do I need to get a referral from my dentist?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

No. You can choose whoever you would like for your orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontists offer a free consultation, so you can meet the right orthodontist for you!

Do I still need to go to my general dentist while I’m getting treatment?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Yes! It’s even more important to go to your general dentist while getting orthodontic treatment. While braces and Invisalign aligners are effective at straightening teeth, they do increase the risk of cavities if not properly taken care of.

How do I choose the right treatment for me?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

We offer a variety of treatment options and we will walk through each one to help you choose during your free consultation.

Can orthodontic treatment be covered by my insurance?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Some insurance plans also include orthodontic treatment. If orthodontics are included in your policy, give us a call and we’ll let you know whether or not your treatment is covered with us.

Do you accept HSAs or FSAs?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Yes! Orthodontic treatment is often included as accepted uses of HSAs and FSAs, and we can accept them as payment. HSAs and FSAs can save you money, as they are funds you can use that are taken out of your paycheck before taxes.

How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies based on the severity of your case. The time of treatment varies on a case-by-case basis, so we can’t give an exact number. However, you can get a general quote during a free consultation with us.

How do Invisalign aligners work?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Invisalign treatment works by using a series of nearly invisible aligners that are custom-designed for your teeth. These aligners move and adjust your teeth with slight pressure. Once the teeth have moved from the aligner, a new aligner is used until your teeth are in the desired position.

What can Invisalign treatment fix?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Invisalign treatment can fix any number of issues that traditional braces can fix. Invisalign aligners are an effective solution for underbite, overbite, overcrowding teeth, crossbite, or widely spaced teeth.

Am I eligible for Invisalign aligners?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

We believe there are few people that Invisalign treatment can’t help, as they are just as effective or more effective than traditional braces. However, you can find the best option for you as part of our free consultation.

Does Invisalign treatment hurt?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

While there may be a bit of discomfort and sore teeth when changing aligners, Invisalign aligners do not usually hurt. If you do experience some discomfort, we recommend taking some over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen and eating soft foods.

Am I too old for braces?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

No! In fact, according to the AAO one in four orthodontic patients is an adult. If you’re worried about getting braces as an adult, you can choose a number of more invisible options, such as Invisalign aligners or ceramic braces to straighten your teeth without the appearance of traditional braces.

What’s the difference between ceramic braces and traditional braces?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

Ceramic braces are essentially the same thing as traditional braces, but instead of metal brackets, they’re white ceramic brackets instead. While they are more fragile than traditional braces, they are less visible and are just as effective as traditional treatment.

How does the Damon System work?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

The Damon system works by self-ligating brackets that smoothly move your teeth without the little rubber bands that need to be replaced every few weeks. The Damon system is an effective treatment option, as it slides your teeth often more comfortably than braces do.

What should I do if my permanent retainer breaks?

Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019
Smile Ranch Orthodontics | Nov 3, 2019

If you had braces or other type of orthodontic treatment before and your permanent retainer broke, give us a call.
