Six areas of excellence

  1. 1

    Our office. Our team. Your experience.

    The entire team at Oltjen Orthodontics understands the importance of your orthodontic care. On-time appointments, flexible hours and fee arrangements, no fee consultations (X-rays and records included) and a friendly, committed team help to create an environment our patients love.

  2. 2

    Complimentary early childhood screenings.

    Although seven is the recommended age to be seen by an orthodontist, very few children need treatment that young. Early observation allows monitoring a child’s growth out of baby teeth to avoid problems and shorten treatment times for a simplified and less costly treatment process.

  3. 3

    Advanced adult treatments.

    Oltjen Orthodontics offers more adult braces options than ever before, including Invisalign® and 3M Clarity clear aligners and advanced self-ligating clear bracket braces in the Kansas City area.

  4. 4

    Flexible financial arrangements.

    Oltjen Orthodontics finds a solution to fit the financial situation of every patient and family. Options may include no-interest monthly payments, third-party financing and the assignment of insurance benefits.

  5. 5

    Advanced treatments and products.

    We’re dedicated to providing exceptional smile results and an A+ experience. Oltjen Orthodontics invests in high-quality orthodontic products and treatments in an effort to shorten treatment length and reduce appointment times for each of our patients. Our passion is focusing on our patients first and always!

  6. 6

    Commitment to research

    Dr. Oltjen is dedicated to staying informed about all treatments available and forthcoming. He participates in product development as a clinical advisor to 3M, a market leader in orthodontic products. With his vast knowledge of the options, he works with each patient to determine the optimal treatment.
