Fry Orthodontics provides braces and Invisalign for children, teens, and adults in Prairie Village and nearby northeast Johnson County. From our office in Corinth Square, we help patients understand what is affecting their teeth or bite and choose treatment with clear, practical guidance.
Dr. Justin Orr provides orthodontic care for growing children, busy teens, and adults who are ready to improve their smile. He evaluates alignment, jaw position, and the way the upper and lower teeth fit together before recommending braces, clear braces, or Invisalign.
Patients from Prairie Village, Mission Hills, Fairway, Leawood, and nearby Kansas City neighborhoods appreciate having experienced care close to home. The goal is to make treatment understandable, manageable, and focused on a result that remains healthy and stable after active treatment ends.
Patients often notice crowding, spacing, or a tooth that sits out of line first. During an orthodontic exam, we also evaluate how the jaws relate and whether the upper and lower teeth meet in a way that supports comfortable chewing and long-term tooth health.
Invisalign can be a strong fit for many Prairie Village teens and adults, while fixed braces may be better suited to more involved movements. The recommendation is based on the clinical needs of the smile—not simply which appliance is most popular.
Crowded or poorly aligned teeth can be harder to brush and floss. A bite that does not fit together properly may also contribute to uneven tooth wear or difficulty chewing.
Treatment should leave you with a smile that looks good, feels comfortable, and is easier to maintain over time.
Choosing braces or Invisalign is an investment in your long-term oral health and confidence. At Fry Orthodontics, we work to make orthodontic treatment easier to plan for by explaining costs clearly and offering flexible payment options. Our team will review your insurance benefits, explain your treatment costs clearly, and help you find a payment option that works for your family's budget.

Invisalign is a strong option for many patients, but not everyone. When braces are more likely to provide the control or result you need, we will explain why.
Before you decide, we review the total treatment cost, estimated timing, insurance benefits, and available payment arrangements.
Prairie Village patients can choose from clear aligners, ceramic braces, and metal braces. Your orthodontist will compare how each option fits the required tooth movement, your routine, and your goals.
Invisalign uses a planned series of removable clear aligners. Many adults and teens like being able to remove them for meals and oral hygiene, but successful treatment depends on wearing them as directed.
Explore Invisalign in Prairie VillageClear braces use ceramic brackets that blend more closely with the color of your teeth. They remain attached throughout treatment, so they keep working without the need to remember removable aligners.
Learn About Clear BracesModern metal braces are smaller and smoother than the braces many adults remember. They are still one of the most useful tools for correcting crowding, spacing, rotated teeth, and bite problems.
Learn About Metal BracesOrthodontic treatment can address the position of individual teeth as well as the way the upper and lower teeth fit together.
Our Prairie Village office in Corinth Square also welcomes patients from Mission Hills, Fairway, Leawood, Brookside, Waldo, and nearby northeast Johnson County communities.
Reviews can give you a better sense of what appointments feel like, how the team communicates, and what other families experienced during treatment.
Orthodontic needs change with age. Children may benefit from growth monitoring, teens often begin comprehensive treatment after most permanent teeth erupt, and adults may address long-standing concerns or movement that occurred after earlier treatment.
An evaluation around age seven allows an orthodontist to see how the adult teeth and jaws are developing. Many children do not need treatment at that age. In those cases, we may simply monitor growth and decide later whether treatment is necessary.
The teenage years are a common time for orthodontic treatment because most permanent teeth have erupted and the jaws are still developing. Treatment may involve metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign Teen.
Adults often seek treatment for teeth that were never corrected or that shifted after earlier braces. Healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age, although gum health and existing dental work must be considered before treatment begins.
The first visit is meant to give you useful information. You do not have to decide on treatment before you understand what is being recommended.
Tell us what concerns you, what you would like to change, and whether you have had orthodontic treatment before.
We look at alignment, spacing, jaw position, and how the upper and lower teeth meet. Additional records may be recommended when they are needed for diagnosis.
You will learn which treatment is recommended, why it is recommended, how long it may take, and what it is expected to cost.
These are some of the questions patients and parents ask before starting orthodontic treatment.
Our Prairie Village office is at 4026 West 83rd Street in Corinth Square, near the intersection of 83rd Street and Mission Road.
No. You can contact Fry Orthodontics directly to schedule a free exam. We may coordinate with your general dentist when cleanings, fillings, gum care, or other dental treatment is needed.
We provide metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign for children, teens, and adults. The best option depends on the tooth movement required, the bite, and the patient’s routine and preferences.
Yes. Adults can begin orthodontic treatment when their teeth, gums, and supporting bone are healthy enough for tooth movement. Clear braces and Invisalign may appeal to adults who prefer a less noticeable option.
Cost depends on the treatment selected, the complexity of the case, and the expected treatment time. During the free exam, we review the recommended plan, insurance benefits, total cost, and payment options.
Appointment timing varies by treatment and stage of tooth movement. Many patients return every four to eight weeks so the orthodontic team can monitor progress and make adjustments.
You will receive retainers to help hold the teeth in their corrected positions. Fry Orthodontics also offers a Digital Retainer Guarantee to help patients replace retainers that are lost or damaged, subject to program terms.
Contact the Prairie Village office for guidance. The team can help determine whether the issue can wait until your next appointment or needs attention sooner.
Decades of experience, specialized orthodontic training, and a patient-first approach to creating healthy, confident smiles.
Choosing an orthodontist is about more than deciding between braces or Invisalign. It is about finding a team you trust to guide you through every stage of treatment, answer your questions honestly, and focus on long-term oral health as much as creating a confident smile.
For more than four decades, Fry Orthodontics has helped over 50,000 patients throughout the Kansas City area improve their smiles through personalized orthodontic care. That experience includes everything from minor spacing concerns to more complex bite and alignment problems, while recognizing that every patient deserves an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation of how the teeth, jaws, and bite work together. Our orthodontists take time to understand your goals, explain the available treatment options in clear language, and recommend a plan designed around your needs, lifestyle, and long-term oral health.
Our doctors combine specialized orthodontic training with modern technology to support accuracy, comfort, and efficiency throughout treatment. Digital imaging, detailed treatment planning, and regular progress evaluations help the team monitor movement carefully and work toward stable, lasting results.
The patient experience matters just as much as the clinical side of care. From the first consultation through the final retainer check, Fry Orthodontics emphasizes clear communication, respect for your time, and a welcoming environment where patients and parents feel comfortable asking questions.
