I love... Love.... Love this place!!! The employees are so so super sweet, the Dr is very knowledgeable/nice, and the payment plans were affordable! They make the braces process fun, and all the children I see are always happy. My daughter was wary at first but now when I tell her its time to go here.... She beats me to the car! For the amount of money I spent... It was comparable to other places so I dont feel like I was robbed, and Im glad that I came.

After a few consults at other places, I was feeling uneasy about going through braces again but as soon as I had a consult here I knew I would be in good hands. They always seemed busy but I never had to wait long and they could always get me scheduled at the times I needed. Everyone is kind and gentle and visits never felt like a chore. Its a fun and upbeat place, but I never felt out of place as an adult going through braces. I now have the smile of my dreams and while I cant say Im going to miss the braces themselves, I will miss seeing everyone every few weeks. If youre thinking about getting braces, I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

I had tried wearing braces before with another orthodontist but it turned out like the worst experience of my life so I stopped the treatment, after years I decided to trust another orthodontist and I’m pretty happy about it. Advance Orthodontics has a great team, very professional and friendly. I’m very happy with the whole process and cannot believe that it only took one year to get such beautiful result

I had a few hiccups when I first got here, but Dr Wittenberger was able to get everything straighten out and assured me that everything would be okay moving forward. I am so happy that I decided to proceed with my treatment with Dr. Wittenberger, he is very precise in his work I am excited to see my results!! Camilee worked with Dr. Wittenberger to put my braces on she was very informative, letting me know each step she was doing, very sweet and gentle. after getting my braces on later that evening I got a call from Dr Wittenberger asking me how I was feeling I was in shock, this guy wants to make sure his patients are pleased and satisfied. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get Orthodontic treatment. I am VERY pleased.

My teeth turned out so much better than I could have imagined! Dr. Wittenberger and his staff are perfectionists and so friendly. I am so happy with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Advance Orthodontics to anyone looking for a great smile.

Staff was really nice. Hitting the gong was really fun. Free shirts are awesome! Candy when your braces come off is great! It did not hurt getting braces on, off, or tightened. Highly recommended 10/10

I just want to start with saying that this is an amazing establishment. The staff here are always smiling and so friendly, especially Christina at the front desk. I love that they respect your time and dont make you wait very long; quick, easy, and to the point. Lastly, what they have been able to achieve with my smile in the past year is incredible.

My daughter had a very positive experience at Advance Orthodontics. The process of having braces went very smoothly. Dr. Wittenberger and his staff are very friendly and professional. We never had to wait past our appointment time and were always told what to expect next. It is a fun, well-run office. We would not hesitate to recommend Advance Orthodontics!

I have taken 2 of my 3 boys to Dr. Wittenberger over the last few years and they have been wonderful. Very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Everyone is knowledgeable about what theyre doing and willing to answer every question in a timely manner. My 3rd guy will go there when he needs braces. Thank you to everyone there for being so great!!

I just want to say being our first time at a new place we were hesitant but as soon as we walked in the door and my kids seen their names on the welcome board that made it personable the kids like looking for their names. The staff is so friendly and made my anxious kids feel at ease and comfortable. The staff takes their time with each patient and their family to go over everything. The point system is such a great idea to motivate the kids too.I would recommend this place two thumbs up.

I like going to Advance Orthodontics. Everyone there is very nice. We always get in right away. I like saving up my reward points. You can spend them for small rewards or save up for a big reward. I am happy with how fast my teeth changed and moved. I am proud of my smile.

Today was my second visit to this office. Dr. Wittenberger and his awesome staff are nothing short of amazing. They were very sweet to my son as I got my braces put on and later on Dr. W called to make sure I was able to eat and ask how I was doing. When my son needs braces we know just the place to go! :)

Review №27

Going to Advance Orthodontics was the best choice I could have possibly made. Im a 22 year old college student and was very nervous about getting braces at my age. The staff always made me feel comfortable and supported as I bettered my smile. The appointments were short and convenient for my busy schedule. I have made great friends with every employee I have encountered there and I know that Im not the only one. They truly have helped me earn a one of a kind smile.

We LOVE Advance Orthodontics!! The staff is friendly, personable, and caring. We take our daughter there for her NAM adjustments for her cleft. Dr. Wittenberger is great with her and she doesnt scream the whole time we are there (which is great for an infant when you are messing with their mouth a lot). There is an awesome Keurig in the waiting room too (which as a mom of an infant, fresh coffee is always a plus!). I would recommend them to anyone!

I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Wittenberger for several years. I have always been impressed with how efficient the staff is and how quickly they get their patients in and out. We have never had to wait past our appointment time and Dr. Wittenberger is very hands on. We see and talk to him at every appointment unlike other offices where the dental assistants do all the work and you rarely see the main orthodontist. I also love the fact that Advance Orthodontics keeps up on all the latest technology in orthodontics and is very proactive in including these new technologies in the treatment of their patients. I could not be happier with our choice of going to Advance Orthodontics and Dr. Wittenberger for our daughters braces.

The second child is getting there braces on today, both have gotten them from here at Advanced Orthodontics!Everyone is nice and very friendly explaining the whole process to not only the parents but the children.Fixed the cross bite my daughter had and going to do some major rearranging of teeth on my son who has teeth that never came it. Itll be a long road but hell finally have a smile that he will be proud of.

I am very happy with the care my daughter has received from Dr. Wittenberger and his staff. She used to be very self-conscious about her teeth. The transformation in her confidence about her appearance has been miraculous. Everyone at the office has been friendly and helpful, from the very first consultation to our latest visit. Highly recommended, especially for patients needing specialized treatment.

Dr. Wittenberger and his staff are wonderful to work with. Our son has had a great experience with his braces. They have fun reward programs and activities for their patients. They were responsive when we had a broken retainer; fit us in to get a replacement quickly. Highly recommend Advanced Orthodontics.

Review №37

My familys journey started with adult braces for me, after a lot of apprehension from my own unpleasant childhood orthodontics experience 20+ years ago. Dr. Wittenberger was so patient and thorough, answering all my questions and offering optimism all along the way. He was wonderful coordinating with my dentist and oral surgeon for implant considerations and Im so pleased with the final result! My daughter is now more than 50% through phase II at 13 years of age. Shell be out of braces before High School! We really couldnt be happier with the consistent excellent service and experience over the last six years (adolescent phase I, adult treatment and completion, and now adolescent phase II).

The orthodontic treatment both of my boys have received from Advance Orthodontics has been amazing. Their treatment has been quick and effective, and Dr. Wittenberger has always taken the time to make sure their treatment plan is exactly what they need. All of the staff in the office are so helpful, friendly, and welcoming!

Review №39

My daughter was 8 years old when she got her braces on and had them on for exactly one year! She had a few issues going on and I was amazed at the things they were able to do without pulling teeth, without the use of an expander, and without any pain! The office staff is amazing, very friendly and warm! My daughter did not want to get her braces off because she knew we would not be visiting the office as much once they were off! My daughter and I strongly recommend Advanced Orthodontics to anyone looking!!!

Review №40

I got braces quite a bit later into my life so this review should be helpful to any adults thinking of getting straight teeth. The staff is very professional and extremely friendly. Questions were encouraged and answered clearly. Any issues I had with brackets falling off (of my own fault) were quickly resolved the same day they happened. They were extremely flexible with scheduling and had no problems rescheduling on short notice (family emergencies, work call ins, etc). My teeth were in bad shape and I was taken care of very well and very satisfied with my smile now!

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Wittenberger for almost a year. She got her braces at 7 years old, and the staff was so good with her. She was never scared or nervous. She always looks forward to her visits. I love the point system they have, it has really encouraged her to take care of her teeth. There have been NO hidden fees which makes this momma extremely happy.

We have moved a few times and have had to switch orthodontists with each move...weve lucked out and gotten good ones with each time, but I have to say we had the best experience with Dr. Wittenberger and his wonderful staff! Such attention to detail, friendly, and Dr. W even came in on a Saturday to meet us due to a broken bracket that was hurting my daughter! Thanks everyone, we will miss you!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Wittenberger and his team!! From the moment we walked through the front door, they have been nothing but kind and answered all of our questions.

Very user friendly for young people. Prompt and polite service, always on time - no waiting. Dr. Wittenbergers staff is excellent - all of them. I wish the doctor would spend a little time speaking with the parents as the treatment progresses - I would imagine that very few teens are paying for their orthodontics themselves.

Dr. Wittenberger and his entire staff are top notch! They are very professional and informative.

I cant say enough good things about Advance Orthodontics. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Dr. Wittenberger has met us in the office to fix wires that are bothering Isabella even though this took him away from spending time with his family. They have a wonderful reward system in place where you earn points that you can trade in for gift cards. If that wasnt enough Advance Orthodontics even treated their patients and families to a movie. If you need orthodontic work I would highly recommend Advance Orthodontics.

This is a very professional, well-organized office with highly-trained staff and excellent customer relations! Getting braces is not the most pleasant activity, but Advance Orthodontics has certainly made it as easy as possible. Theyve been very responsive to every request Ive made for adjustments.

I transferred from a different orthodontist a year ago. I had already had my braces on for 2 years and my teeth hadnt progressed very much. I had a consultation with Dr. Wittenberger. His techniques are fantastic and the pricing is so reasonable! I got my braces put on in July 2015 and got them taken off the next September of 2016! His staff was ALWAYS friendly-absolutely loved them. They were always patient and so very kind! It made the soreness after the appointments so much less noticeable! :)

We started with Advance Orthodontics in September 2017 and have been extremely happy with the results so far. My daughter was nervous about getting braces but now looks forward to her appointments. She has had very little pain associated with braces and recommends the AcceleDent tool. Dr. Wittenberger and his staff are very kind, knowledgeable and treat every patient like family. The office is clean and inviting and parents are welcomed to sit with their child during procedures. Dr. Wittenberger’s approach to orthodontic puts the patient first and he would not recommend a procedure that he wouldn’t do on his own children. Highly recommend this office for orthodontic treatment!

We love Dr. Wittenberger and the entire staff of Advance Orthodontics. Bella started seeing Dr. Wittenberger shortly after she was born. He is part of her Cleft Lip team at the University of Missouri Childrens Hospital. The love and attention to detail helped prepare Bella for her first surgery. We just started visiting the office more regularly with the placement of Bellas braces. The staff always explains what they are preparing to do and puts Bella at ease. I would highly recommend Advance Orthodontics to anyone with orthodontic needs.
