Services
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Custom-designed for each patient, these removable trays gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions, Invisalign treatment at Flanagan Orthodontics includes regular progress monitoring and adjustments.
Braces
Traditional metal braces and ceramic options provide effective teeth-straightening solutions for all ages. Our practice offers durable, precision-fitted braces with personalized care plans to correct misalignment and improve bite function. Regular adjustments ensure optimal results within estimated treatment timelines.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental issues in children aged 7+. Our conservative approach identifies and corrects bite problems, spacing, and jaw growth concerns to prevent future complications. Treatment plans prioritize comfort and long-term oral health benefits.
Adult Treatment
Specialized orthodontic solutions for adults seeking improved alignment and confidence. Options include discreet Invisalign trays and modern braces designed for mature dental structures. Our team addresses unique challenges like previous dental work while ensuring treatment efficiency and comfort.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after braces or Invisalign treatment. We provide durable, comfortable retainers with detailed care instructions to ensure lasting results. Follow-up appointments monitor stability and address any adjustments needed during the retention phase.

Great place with friendly staff. My child loves coming here. How many parents can say that about a Ortho/dental office!

Report
The staff people were friendly and professional. Dr. Flanagan was very helpful when talking through the process of putting on the brackets for the braces. My reason for only 4 stars was because the office worker asked me to sign agreements she had on the computer. I was not given anything to read before I signed. I would not have signed if I had seen the sentence about paying a $2,500 fee for canceling an Invisalign treatment. This was not disclosed to me in the original visit with the paperwork I was given to take home.
