About Tennison Orthodontics
Tennison Orthodontics was built on a simple belief: orthodontics is about more than straightening teeth. Instead, it’s about loving people — their smiles and their lives. This mission shapes the relationships we build with our patients and families, the welcoming culture we’ve created, and our commitment to making every person who walks through our doors feel genuinely known and cared for.
An Orthodontic Practice Rooted in Johnson County
Since 2007, Dr. Jason Tennison has been building relationships and creating smiles with the same people-first spirit that defines Tennison Orthodontics today. Deeply connected to Johnson County, Dr. Tennison and our team believe being part of this community means investing in the people, schools, and organizations that make it home. Seeing the dramatic, positive effect our work can have on a person’s quality of life over the years has strengthened Dr. Tennison’s connection to his patients and maintained his motivation to continue to serve the Johnson County community.
More Than a Smile: Our Practice’s Philosophy
Our philosophy starts with a simple mission: love people. Our goal isn’t to put every patient in treatment, but to provide the right care at the right time while making you feel genuinely valued along the way.
This isn’t a place where you’re just another appointment on the calendar. We take the time to get to know you, make sure you feel supported, and turn your orthodontic journey into something you actually enjoy. Our entire team is cross-trained and connected, so no matter who you talk to, you’ll get helpful answers and genuine care. That’s what makes us stand out: not just in how we treat teeth, but in how we treat people.

A Team That Truly Cares
Our team is made up of people (and a pup!) who genuinely love working with others, with many having been a part of Tennison Orthodontics for years. Our assistants work hard to ensure our office stays clean and instruments are appropriately sterilized, while our team at the front desk plans ahead for any issues that may arise with insurance, finances, or scheduling so they can communicate effectively and create an easy, seamless experience for families.
Advanced Technology for Better Results
We invest in technology that helps us make orthodontic care more personalized and precise. As a LightForce beta tester, Dr. Tennison gets firsthand experience with the company’s latest innovations. This means that our team gets access to advanced tools to customize treatment around each patient’s unique smile.
Tennison Orthodontics: A Pillar of the Community
We believe in giving back to the community that supports us. That’s why we’re proud to partner with local schools and nonprofits like CASA of Johnson County and the King’s Daughters. Between sponsoring youth events, offering school support, and volunteering time and resources, we’re committed to being a positive force in Johnson County.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Practice
We welcome children, teens, and adults at all stages of their smile journeys. Dr. Tennison takes a thoughtful, conservative approach to treatment, recommending orthodontic care based on each patient’s individual needs and development.
Our treatment options include LightForce custom braces, clear aligners, early orthodontic treatment, retainers, and TMJ treatment. We personalize treatment around your smile, needs, and lifestyle rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your free consultation is designed to be personal and informative. Our team will get to know you and your concerns, typically complete a digital intraoral scan, and introduce you to Dr. Tennison, who will evaluate your smile and discuss appropriate options before our treatment coordinator reviews financial details with you. There’s a good chance you’ll meet Joy, our beloved office dog, too!
