Ahrens Orthodontics

Ahrens Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic that has been a family-owned tradition for over 40 years, proudly serving the communities of Louisville Metro, Crestwood, and Taylorsville, Kentucky. The practice was initially led by Dr. Douglas Ahrens for over 25 years before being passed on to his son, Dr. Gerry Ahrens. This father-son legacy emphasizes a commitment to treating patients like family, fostering personal relationships while delivering high-quality orthodontic care. The clinic offers a wide array of orthodontic treatments tailored to meet the individual needs of children, teenagers, and adults. Their services include various types of braces, such as traditional metal braces, which are known for their durability and effectiveness, and clear ceramic braces, which offer a more aesthetic and less noticeable alternative. Ahrens Orthodontics is also a preferred provider of Invisalign, the advanced clear aligner system, providing a virtually invisible and removable option for teeth straightening. Beyond common braces and aligners, Ahrens Orthodontics utilizes specialized appliances for growth modification in younger patients to guide jaw development and create space for permanent teeth, as well as habit-breaking appliances. They also address more complex cases requiring surgical orthodontics (orthognathic surgery) in collaboration with oral and maxillofacial surgeons, typically for adult patients with severe bite issues or jaw abnormalities. Furthermore, the practice offers treatment for TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) to alleviate associated pain. Ahrens Orthodontics prides itself on integrating the latest orthodontic techniques and technologies, including 3D imaging and digital scans, to ensure precise and customized treatment plans. They prioritize patient comfort and convenience, offering flexible appointment scheduling, including after-school options, and working with most major preferred insurance plans while also providing affordable interest-free payment plans. The clinic maintains three convenient locations: Louisville (East End), La Grange, and Taylorsville, Kentucky, making their services accessible to a broad patient base. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the friendly and professional staff, efficient service, and excellent results achieved by Dr. Ahrens and his team.
