Allegany Orthodontics

Allegany Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice serving Western Maryland with multiple office locations in LaVale, McCoole, and Oakland. The clinic operates under the expertise of Dr. Jim Snodgrass and Dr. Valerie Ryan, who are specialists in orthodontics, committed to delivering state-of-the-art care. Their services cater to patients of all ages, from children needing early intervention to adolescents and adults seeking smile correction. They provide a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions, including traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic braces, and gold braces. For those seeking a less visible option, they also offer 3M Clarity Aligners, a popular choice for mild alignment issues due to their virtual invisibility and removable convenience. Allegany Orthodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, ensuring that each individual's treatment plan is customized to their specific needs and goals. They leverage modern technology, such as digital X-rays and imaging, for precise diagnosis and efficient treatment planning. The clinic prides itself on creating a friendly, comfortable, and stress-free environment, with a knowledgeable and experienced clerical and clinical staff. They prioritize patient education, discussing treatment plans thoroughly and addressing any questions or concerns. Beyond clinical care, Dr. Ryan also contributes to the community by volunteering her services to the Orofacial team of The Children's League Cumberland Cleft Clinic. Allegany Orthodontics is committed to helping patients achieve healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smiles.
