Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults, this treatment corrects misalignment without traditional brackets, allowing for easier oral hygiene and dietary freedom. Our team customizes aligner plans to achieve optimal results efficiently.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer a less visible alternative to metal braces, using tooth-colored brackets. Suitable for patients seeking aesthetic options, they effectively address moderate to severe alignment issues while blending naturally with the smile.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention guides jaw growth and addresses bite issues in children aged 7-9. This proactive approach prevents future complications, reduces the need for extractions, and ensures proper space for permanent teeth, laying the foundation for healthy, lasting results.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use advanced self-ligating technology to straighten teeth faster with fewer adjustments. Their friction-free design enhances comfort and shortens treatment time, making them a popular choice for efficient, effective orthodontic care.
Emergency Care
We provide prompt solutions for urgent orthodontic issues like broken brackets or wires. Our team ensures swift relief for discomfort while maintaining treatment progress, emphasizing patient safety and uninterrupted care outcomes.

Report
Dr. Friel is a true artist! I waited fifty years to have straight teeth and Friel Ortho made it a reality. Dr. Friel made sure I was 100% satisfied with the outcome before he finished my treatment He was careful to listen to my concerns and he went above and beyond to give me the smile I never dreamed I could have. Three of our children who needed orthodontic care went to Dr. Friel and we were so pleased with the outcome. Every member of the staff is friendly, encouraging, and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Friel as an orthodontist to anyone at any age.

We made an appointment 2 weeks in advance for a wisdom teeth extraction. They said that theyd send the referral to their office but they never got it. We tried calling back but nobody answered the phone. Now were stuck here making another appointment; waste of time.

Beautiful, knowledgeable staff! Great job on my grandson's teeth! He had a lot of issues and they have patiently worked slowly, one issue at a time! He's looking good!
