Testimonials
I high recommend to get you’re beautiful smile rejuvenated at Dr Hansen’s unique and beautiful interior place. Very clean and simple that you feel at ease and guaranteed you are receiving the best treatment. I am highly satisfied with my visit, thank you Dr Hansen.
I absolutely recommend! Staff is very professional and welcoming. They’re very knowledgeable & keep their patients well informed. Dr. Hansen is doing an incredible job! Words cannot express how grateful we are for The Hansen Orthodontics staff. Thank you all so much!
So thankful for Dr Hansen and his team. My son has been through two other orthodontists and his teeth are still not corrected. We are so glad that Dr Hansen explained everything so well and uses the latest and up to date technology to fix our son’s smile and bite. Do not look anywhere else!!!!! Highly recommend this team!
Dr. Hansen and his staff are so wonderful. As a 30 year old getting braces for the first time ever, every single staff member put me at ease (childhood dental trauma!). My initial treatment was fast and the Doc himself is hands on to ensure the patient isn’t in an uncomfortable situation longer than necessary. 100% recommend. I’m so excited to see the results!
Dr. Hansen is an amazing doctor. I really appreciate the time that he takes to explain the procedure to me. He’s patient and helps me to feel comfortable asking questions. He is someone that I would trust working on all my family and friends. Not to mention his office is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve been in.
As a fellow orthodontist I can’t speak more highly of Dr Hansen and his wife Amy. Dr. Hansen is passionate, honest, and very detail oriented. Dr Hansen has clinical skills and expertise that far surpasses just straightening teeth. He is an incredible orthodontist that you can trust to create your dream smile.
I was referred to Dr. Hansen and it was a great experience. I’m so glad I went. Dr. Hansen took his time and gave my daughter adequate attention. He and staff answered all my questions and gave us very good direction for treatment. Their expertise is unmatched in my experience. I would highly recommend. 10/10.
Dr. Hansen was absolutely fantastic! While traveling from out of town, we had an unexpected orthodontic emergency with my teen, and he went above and beyond to help us. His kindness and professionalism were truly reassuring, and his staff was equally warm and welcoming. The office itself is immaculate and beautifully designed, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Hansen for exceptional care!
Great Experience!
I’m getting braces in Mexico, but a bracket broke while I was in El Paso. Hansen Orthodontics got me in the next day and fixed it quickly. Super helpful, professional, and kind—highly recommend!

Yes, following the treatment, it is advisable to avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods for a few days. Soft and cool foods are recommended to minimize irritation to the treated gum area. Proper post-treatment care ensures quicker healing and better results.
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, and slight discomfort in the treated area. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. Following the aftercare instructions provided by the orthodontist can help minimize these side effects.
