Welcome to Franklin Square Orthodontics in Syracuse, NY

Dr. Lauren Vitkus, Dr. Michael Meharg, and their talented orthodontic team work hard to bring beautiful smiles to residents in the Syracuse, New York area. We work hand in hand with patients and their families to understand the goals of orthodontic treatment and then provide individualized care plans to achieve optimal results for children and adults. This is achieved by offering advanced treatment options while using the latest in modern technology.

The Most Experienced Invisalign Provider in CNY

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen straighten teeth using a series of clear aligners and advanced 3D technology. This allows patients to achieve a stunning smile without any obvious signs of treatment! Dr. Meharg was the first certified Invisalign orthodontist in the Syracuse area and brings years of experience to our practice. Dr. Vitkus, who holds an Ivy League degree in civil engineering, brings a wealth of knowledge and a very technical eye to our orthodontic treatment planning. If you have been told you are not a candidate for Invisalign, it may be time for a second opinion with Dr. Vitkus and Dr. Meharg.

The Most Advanced Braces on the Market – Damon Self Ligating System

When it comes to braces, the team at Franklin Square Orthodontics offers one of the most advanced types of braces on the market in both a clear and a metal option. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the orthodontic wire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Thanks to this innovative system, achieving you or your child's healthy, perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!

My son is on the shy and apprehensive side. Our consultation was amazing and I thought it was a very individualized approach. The day of the big... event I could see his nervousness starting. Our trip to the office was nothing short of amazing. Everyone was so kind and so informative and we left with a huge smile. Later I asked him when he became less nervous, he replied, " once we walked in and I saw everyone, I knew everything was going to be ok". BINGO! Amazing office and I would recommend to anyone.read more

I brought my son here for a consultation, even though it is quite a drive for us, based on the recomendation of a friend. We were definitely not... disappointed! The building itself is in a lovely part of Syracuse, and the staff members make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The examination, options, treatment plan, and financial aspects were all discussed clearly and thoroughly. Every single staff member we encountered was professional and friendly. I left with my son feeling confident in selecting them for my son's care and we are looking forward to our next appointment to begin his Invisalign treatment!read more

If you’re looking for amazing, high quality service and outcomes, visit Franklin ortho. The office is gorgeous and comfy; their providers and staff... are super friendly, informative and thorough; and they make sure you are totally satisfied start to finish. In fact, Dr. Lauren asked if I had any concerns during what was going to be my last visit, and made me feel comfortable enough to ask if a couple of things could be tweaked. She happily made some adjustments, saw me a couple of weeks later, and I am so excited about my final results! I also asked about teeth whitening and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they gave me complimentary whitening with my retainer. Also notable is their transparency about pricing and willingness to make things work for you! Thank you, Franklin ortho- great experience!read more

We are so grateful to Franklin Square Orthodontics and Dr. Vitkus! My daughter is a Syracuse University student who found herself in a desperate... situation. Her permanent retainer was broken and she had a loose wire in her mouth; due to the loose wire, she couldn't put on her removable retainer and her teeth were separating in a matter of days. She was in pain and she needed help. As a busy college student four hours from home, she could not see her orthodontist in Massachusetts. Our local orthodontist reached out to Franklin Square Orthodontics and Dr. Vitkus called me personally 20 minutes later to discuss the situation; due to a cancellation, she was able to see my daughter that afternoon (and also offered times for the following week if she wasn't able to make it that day). My daughter said that Dr. Vitkus put her at ease, was very kind, and she felt safe in her hands. She also said that the office was very pleasant and all of the staff were kind and helpful. Thank you!!!read more

I'm very happy with my experience with their office. I considered cheaper alternatives like Smile Direct, but am glad I chose to go with them so I... knew an orthodontist was overseeing my treatment and that I always had someone to go to in case I had questions or issues. Friendly office staff and hygienists, too, and easy parking to get in and out. I definitely recommend FSO to anyone looking to straighten their teeth!read more
