Flynn Orthodontics

Flynn Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice serving the communities of Peoria and Pekin, Illinois. With two convenient locations, they are dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from children and teenagers to adults. At the heart of Flynn Orthodontics is their commitment to delivering the highest quality orthodontic treatment in a friendly, gentle, and professional environment. Their mission statement emphasizes providing excellent orthodontic care that lasts a lifetime in a "professional family-like atmosphere," with a strong commitment to each patient's smile. The practice is led by Dr. Denise R. Flynn, a highly experienced and dedicated orthodontist. Dr. Flynn, originally from Morton, Illinois, holds a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from Bradley University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. She earned her dental education from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, where she was among the top of her graduating class and inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Society. After a general practice residency at Hines Veterans Administration Hospital and six years practicing general dentistry with a focus on pediatric dentistry, she completed her orthodontic education, earning a certificate and master's degree from the University of Nebraska. In practice since 1987, Dr. Flynn is actively involved in numerous professional organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association, reflecting her strong commitment to continuing education and staying at the forefront of orthodontic advancements. Flynn Orthodontics offers a wide array of treatment options to suit individual patient needs and preferences: Metal Braces: The traditional and still highly effective option, now smaller, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. In-Ovation Self-Ligating Braces: These brackets feature a sliding door design that allows wires to move freely, reducing friction, increasing comfort, and potentially shortening treatment time and fewer adjustment appointments. Ceramic Braces: Made from tooth-colored porcelain material, these are a popular choice for adult patients and older teens seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution. Invisalign/Clear Aligner Therapy: A series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth, ideal for patients with minor to moderate orthodontic issues. Beyond specific appliance types, Flynn Orthodontics provides comprehensive services, including early orthodontic treatment for children (interceptive orthodontics), adult orthodontics, and post-treatment retention with various types of retainers. They also offer initial consultations to assess orthodontic needs, discuss treatment procedures, address financial options, and answer any patient questions. The practice prides itself on a patient-first approach, ensuring that every individual receives personalized attention and a treatment plan tailored to their unique smile goals. Patients consistently commend the knowledgeable, professional, and friendly staff, and Dr. Flynn's gentle and informative demeanor.
