Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens, this option avoids the visibility of traditional braces while offering comfort and convenience. Patients appreciate fewer appointments and the ability to maintain oral hygiene easily.
Metal Braces
Metal braces correct complex bite issues with durable, self-ligating brackets that reduce treatment time. Customizable with colorful bands, they are a popular choice for children and teens seeking effective, affordable orthodontic solutions.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces blend with teeth for a less noticeable appearance, ideal for adults and teens prioritizing aesthetics. Made from stain-resistant composite materials, they combine strength with a subtle look during treatment.
Orthodontic Emergencies
We provide urgent care for orthodontic issues like broken wires or lost retainers outside regular hours. Our after-hours support ensures patients receive timely assistance to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress.
Digital Retainers
Our Digital Retainer Guarantee offers durable, 3D-printed retainers with a lifetime replacement plan. Using Invisalign technology, these retainers ensure long-term results with a custom fit and enhanced comfort for lasting smiles.

Don't believe anything they say in regards to your treatment and if they say come back in a month, they really mean 2 because there are no appointments available. They're more than happy to take on new patients (or should I say customers) without taking care of their current ones and meeting their needs. On one occasion, an ortho just dismissed me and didn't even bother telling me when to come back and then it was an appointment I had to schedule 3 more months out due to that orthos negligence.
It has obnoxiously extended my treatment by MONTHS because of their negligence and unavailability of appointment. When my daughter needs braces, we will be picking a different orthodontist. This is a statement regarding Fry as a whole and not this specific location. When I try to make appointments, I am open to making them at different locations and it's still impossible to get one within a decent time frame. What was supposed to be 18 months of treatment is turning into 2 years because I can't make appointments.

My daughter was very young when she started the process with braces. So needless to say it was a very scary experience for her. But the comfort of the staff from the Shawnee office from front to back along with Dr. Nguyen, my daughter had a clear understanding and support and took every appointment with stride! Needless to say, but I will say it she is proud of herself and appreciates all the care it took to get her where she is today!
Happy that her smile is complete and ready to eat some POPCORN! I'm sure this care is continued throughout all the locations! I'm just partial to where the care began and has continued, even through these times with the pandemic they got my daughter rescheduled and never once did I have to go to another clinic. Extremely grateful to all the staff in all the locations for putting their health at risk to continue the great care for my daughter and the other patients.
I pray that all the staff in all locations will continue to stay safe and healthy for their families and their patients families, because we need you and we definitely can use the smiles! God bless all of you, stay safe!

This Journey started over 2 years ago. The staff was funny, always joked around, and I just appreciate all they've done for me. I love my smile, i no longer cover my mouth when smiling or laughing lol im excited for free retainers for life, and i will definitely always refer ppl here just like my dentist office did for me. Huge thanks to everyone!

This place is fine as far as orthodontists go, and price is the same as most other places, but having to make an appointment with them is more difficult than it needs to be. When most of your patients are school-aged kids, a day or two each week with extended hours would not be a bad idea. I don't feel I should have to take my kid out of school for a 10-minute adjustment.

Took my son to the office on SMPKWY last year for a consult, walked out with full set of braces same day He just got them off today and I'm amazed at the results! Dr. Kelly is awesome! I love how she interacted with my son and spoke directly to him and explained the process each step of the way. Everyone working there have been nothing but friendly, caring and accommodating. I highly recommend Fry Orthodontics!

We have had the best experience with Fry Ortho! From the time we walk in to the time we walk out, we are greeted by name and our appointments are usually in and out without any long wait! Dr. Kelly and the staff are so awesome to work with through the whole process. I definitely would recommend them. I wish we could give them more than 5! -Davis Family

BEWARE! This billing practices of this company were apparently written by the Gambino crime family. I was late on a payment and when I went to bring the account current - I was told that they "dismissed" the account and I would have to enter into a new contract with auto-deduct. When I objected they made clear that my daughter would not receive any more orthodontics service until I signed the new contract -- literally an offer you can't refuse! Reprehensible. Your kids teeth/health are simply a commodity to them to be leveraged against whoever is paying the bill.
