Allegany Orthodontics

Allegany Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice with an office at 1279 Memorial Dr in Oakland, serving children, teens and adults in Garrett County. Led by orthodontic specialists Dr. Jim Snodgrass and Dr. Valerie Ryan, it saves Garrett County families the drive over the mountain for braces and aligner care.

Orthodontics for Every Age

The practice treats children, adolescents and adults, and describes its approach as using less intrusive techniques and appliances alongside digital diagnostic records for treatment planning. Its site features 3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets, a tooth-coloured bracket option, and 3M Clarity Aligners, a clear-aligner system — useful if you are weighing how visible your treatment will be.

Three Offices in Western Maryland

Allegany Orthodontics runs its main office in LaVale, with satellite offices in McCoole and here in Oakland, so patients can split visits between locations if that suits their schedule. Dr. James R. Snodgrass, DDS, is a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia dental program and the State University of New York at Buffalo orthodontic program. The Oakland office keeps a limited schedule, so it is worth checking appointment availability when you call.

Before You Go

The practice website has an FAQ page and before-and-after photos if you want a sense of the process ahead of a first consultation, and the office can be reached by email as well as by phone.

Give the Oakland office a call to ask about a consultation for yourself or your child.
