Services
Metal and Clear Braces
We offer comprehensive metal and clear braces treatment for patients of all ages. Our traditional braces system uses advanced bracket and archwire technology to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. This treatment effectively corrects various orthodontic issues including overcrowding, spacing, and bite problems. Our experienced team customizes treatment plans to ensure optimal results while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
Invisalign Treatment
Our Invisalign treatment provides a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable clear aligners. This innovative system gradually straightens teeth without metal brackets or wires, making it ideal for both teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions. The treatment includes regular progress check-ups and uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create personalized aligner sequences for optimal tooth movement.
Orthodontic Surgery
We provide specialized surgical orthodontic treatment for complex cases requiring combined orthodontic and surgical intervention. This comprehensive approach addresses severe jaw discrepancies and bite issues that cannot be resolved with braces alone. Our practice coordinates with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to develop integrated treatment plans that achieve both functional improvement and aesthetic enhancement of the smile and facial profile.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Our emergency orthodontic care service addresses urgent issues that may arise during treatment. We provide prompt attention for problems such as broken brackets, loose wires, or discomfort requiring immediate intervention. Our team offers same-day consultations and maintains after-hours availability to ensure patients receive timely care while maintaining treatment progress and minimizing discomfort.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
We specialize in early orthodontic intervention for children, typically starting around ages 7-9. This proactive approach addresses developing bite problems, jaw growth issues, and space management for permanent teeth. Our Phase One treatment utilizes specialized appliances to guide jaw development and create optimal conditions for the eruption of permanent teeth, potentially reducing future treatment complexity.

I could not be happier with the orthodontic service I received from Ferry Orthodontics. Dr. Ferry and his team are one of the best! They are knowledgeable, accommodating, caring and terrific! They work with your individual budget and payment plans, they are very good about scheduling appointments around your busy lifestyle, and the dental assistants and Dr. Ferry themselves are incredibly nice, funny, make you feel comfortable and will do the best job giving you a new smile.

They really know their stuff and will always answer any questions you might have and also do whatever they can to ensure you or your kids, teens, loved ones etc. have a great smile. Their offices are also so comfortable, clean and lovely. I just got my braces off and I cannot believe my new and beautiful smile! I can't stop smiling! I highly recommend anyone who needs their smile corrected or who have any orthodontic needs at all to go to Ferry Orthodontics with two convenient locations in Cranston and Wakefield. You will not be disappointed!

I love the waiting room. Its so homey and peaceful with tv and plenty of magazines to look through as you wait. The dentist assistants are very sweet. The whole staff is fantastic with my daughter at every visit. The wait is never to bad either. Very clean which is a huge plus for my family an I especially at the dentist. Dr. Ferry is amazing with kids! Very genuine and explains whatever you don't understand very clearly. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent staff. My 2 kids go here and no complaints. They are always prompt and on time. They have been very helpful with appointments and understanding when I have to reschedule. My 2 teenagers now have a confident smile due to the Ferry orthodontic team.

Ferry Orthodontics is more than just braces. I play hockey and wanted a custom fit mouth guard because the boil and bites never fit right. Dr. Ferry was able to create a custom fit mouth guard in under a week for me. For a great price! His staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Ferry Orthodontics is the cream of the crop. The professionalism that runs through Dr. Ferry's practice is phenomenal. They're always running on time and scheduling your next appointment is a breeze. Dr. Mike and his staff are very accommodating and funny! I never knew going to the orthodontist could be so much fun. Thank you for an experience I'll never forget.

This was my first time as an adult going to an orthodontist, as referred by my dentist. I was hesitant at first, but after meeting Dr. Michael Ferry and his wonderful staff, my worries were put to rest. I was recommended for Invisalign Liners to correct my bite, close a gap between my teeth, and align my teeth. Dr. Ferry took his time and explained the entire procedure to me. Fast forward to now. wow what a difference!

I love how my teeth look! Almost daily, I am complimented on my smile & teeth. I can remember a time when I only smiled with my mouth closed. This process positively impacted myself esteem as I am much more confident of myself. This is a great office, team, and Dr. Ferry is truly wonderful! Highly recommended. My son will be seeing him soon!

My son had his braces done at Ferry Orthodontics. The staff was beyond professional. Friendly, curteous, and most unexpectedly TIMELY. Most appointments we were in and out in 20 minutes including wait time. Dr. Ferry met us one Sunday morning in June just before we left for Canada for 7 weeks because a wire had broken the night before. There literally aren't enough positive things I can say about this practice. I give them the highest marks.

Dr. Mike and his staff always go above and beyond. They are responsive, kind and extremely professional. My son knocked out his two front teeth when he was 12 and Dr. Mike walked us through 5 years of appointments, not just with him but with the oral surgeon and dentist. Now, my son has a gorgeous smile and I completely thank Dr. Mike for that! I've recommended Ferry Orthodontics all the time and will continue to do so. You cannot find a better orthodontist or staff.

I can't say enough great things about Dr Ferry and his staff. First Dr Ferry explains everything up front.the process, the costs, the expected results timeline etc. Kim his office manager is fantastic working with insurance and payment plans etc. His office is professionally run and typically runs 100% on time (what other dr does that?) He takes time to know every family and really cares about all his patients. Best orthodontist in RI hands down!

My best friend referred me to Ferry Orth. She is almost done with her Invisalign treatment and she looks amazing. Love Dr Ferry and his staff! So professional and knowledgable, but also so friendly and fun. As a germaphobe, I also appreciate how clean and nice the office is. I am on week 9 with my invisalign, and I'm so excited! I actually enjoy going in to see everyone.

I couldn't be happier with my overall experience at Ferry Orthodontics. As an adult who was in need of Invisalign, Dr. Ferry made this experience extremely convenient and pleasant for me. Dr. Ferry and his staff are professional and easy going. They even helped entertain my little ones while I was in the chair. I highly recommend Ferry Orthodontics.
Sarah Foust
The entire staff in the South County office is Amazing! The office is beautiful and always clean. I enjoyed going to my appointments and they made the whole process very enjoyable. Dr Ferry even brought his dog Minnie to the office one day for me. I 110% recommend them for any orthodontic needs you may have!
Cooper Beck
I would highly recommend this place if you are in need of getting braces but you also are weary about all the things that go with them. The staff are amazing they always try and make your appointments as fast as possible while doing everything right. They also like to make it as easy as possible for you to take care of your braces giving you rubber bands for your braces instead of making you have to tighten your braces. every few months. Overall this place is great and I would highly recommend them.

Dr Ferry and all his staff are beyond amazing!! Highly recommend two children in braces and I'm sure a third. Wouldn't go anywhere else
Dawn Simons
Ferry Orthodontics is the best. We love Dr. Mike and the girls. I went there when I was young and get compliments on my "nice ortho work" from my dental hygienist every time I go. Our son Rob is all done and Matt still has braces on. I love hearing the hockey stories that Matt always comes out with from Dr. Mike. They have put up with more broken braces with Matt than 10 kids probably have. We drive from Smithfield to Cranston and would not go anywhere else!
