When Dr. Bob Fry founded this practice, he had one belief: orthodontics isn't about braces — it's about the confidence, joy, and opportunities that come with a great smile. That vision has guided every decision we've made for nearly five decades.
Today, under the leadership of his son Dr. Jeremy Fry, we've grown to 14 convenient locations across Kansas and Missouri — close to your home, your kids' schools, and your busy life. We've perfected more than 50,000 smiles and counting, all while staying exactly what we've always been: a family-owned, doctor-led practice that treats your family like our own.
“We're in the mental health business. A great smile changes how people see themselves — and how the world sees them.” — Dr. Bob Fry, Founder
With 14 locations across the KC metro, there's a Fry Orthodontics minutes from wherever your family lives, works, or goes to school. No long drives. No missed appointments.
Our staff averages 8+ years with us — which means the people who greet your child today will be there cheering at the finish line. Familiar faces. Consistent care. Every visit.
We've reduced average treatment times well below the industry standard — because we believe your time is just as valuable as your smile.
We didn't just adopt Invisalign — we helped build it. Dr. Bob Fry was one of only 14 original Invisalign alpha testers in the world in 1997, and our practice conducted all of Invisalign's original research on teen treatment. We've completed 10,000+ Invisalign cases, placing us in the top 1% of providers globally.
No corporate overlords. No rotating doctors you've never met. Just experienced orthodontists making decisions based on what's best for your child — not a bottom line.
At Fry Orthodontics, giving back isn't a campaign. It's who we are.
We founded the Start A Smile Foundation to ensure that financial barriers never stand between a child and a confident smile. To date, we've provided $5,257,450 in free orthodontic treatment to families who needed it most.
In 2026 alone, we've donated $33,513 to organizations across Kansas City — partnering with schools, churches, and camps to strengthen the communities where our patients live and grow.
Because every child deserves to smile.
