Ankeny Orthodontics

Ankeny Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic located at 350 NW 18th St, Ankeny, IA 50023. The clinic operates with a strong focus on patient well-being and satisfaction, aiming to provide comprehensive and advanced orthodontic care in a comfortable and intimate setting. The clinic is led by board-certified orthodontists, Dr. Nicholas Smith and Dr. Sam Christensen. Their board certification signifies a commitment to excellence, as it involves rigorous written and clinical examinations, and peer review of treatment cases, a distinction held by only about 25% of orthodontists. This extensive training goes beyond just the aesthetics of a smile, encompassing a deep understanding of growth and development. Ankeny Orthodontics offers a wide array of treatment options for both children and adults. These include traditional metal braces, discreet clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign®. They leverage cutting-edge technology, such as the iTero® Element™ digital scanner, to eliminate the need for traditional "goopy" impressions, ensuring a more comfortable and accurate experience for patients. This digital scanning technology allows for the fabrication of 3D printed models, custom archwires, orthodontic appliances, and retainers. Patient care is highly personalized, with the team striving to treat each patient like family. They prioritize listening to patient concerns and desired outcomes, crafting tailored treatment plans that align with individual lifestyles. The clinic emphasizes not only the aesthetic improvement of smiles but also the importance of proper bite alignment and overall oral health, addressing issues like overcrowding, overbites, and underbites. Their goal is to create long-lasting, healthy, and confident smiles.
