It is with meticulous attention and great care that I take on the responsibility of transforming a smile. I feel so rewarded to be able to witness and aid in the transformation of not only a smile, but of a child into a healthy, confident young adult.
I choose to practice orthodontics because it offers the unique opportunity to help people in a way that utilizes hands-on technical skills in a social and friendly environment. I love being a part of a patients life and bringing about a positive change while building relationships with so many people in my community. I am honored to be a part of this very special time in their lives.
I began my education at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY, where I received my undergraduate degree. Both my Doctorate of Dental Medicine and Masters degree in Orthodontics were earned at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine.
I participate in numerous continuing education opportunities to stay up-to-date with the newest technology and techniques in orthodontic care. I attend annual meetings of the American Association of Orthodontists and the Northeast Society of Orthodontists, and have presented research at the AAO Conference and the International Association of Dental Research. In addition, I am also an active member of the American Dental Association, the Massachusetts Dental Society, and the Worcester District Dental Society.
Our team is made up of an exceptional group of people who truly care about the well-being and happiness of our patients. They go above and beyond to help make each orthodontic experience as enjoyable as possible. Quite simply, they are kind, patient, and good people.
I am a native of Shrewsbury and a proud graduate of Shrewsbury High School. I am so excited to practice in this wonderful community. I currently live in Grafton with my husband, Joseph, who also grew up here. Our home is completed by our dog named Turtle and our cat named Boo. When I have free time I enjoy reading, painting, cooking, and hiking.
Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.

I would and have recommended others to McManus Orthodontics. Amanda McManus is kind, calm and very lovely to the children that I have seen her with at the office. My Daughter got her braces there and doesn't dread going back there for the maintenance. The other staff and receptionists are pleasant too!

My daughter needed major ortho work. Being in the field, I knew what to look for. Dr..McManus was the best hands down not only professionally but also cost wise. I continue to and will continue to reccomend her office over and over.

HORRIBLE!!! Very bad experience. Awful customer service. Will make sure to let everyone in town know how arrogant this practice really is. I highly suggest you go elsewhere. They do not deserve the business and certainly should not be caring for our children!

All the staff are so friendly. Dr. McManus makes you feel so comfortable. I'm 47 years old and couldn't be any more happy with my invisalign and the care that they have given me.

The staff and office are extremely professional. Their pricing is fair and competitive. This is not why I love McManus orthodontics though. I have an anxious child as do many other parents these days. When she first realized she would be getting braces she was very nervous and reluctant for her first appointment. I don't have to worry about that anymore. Shes practically excited for appointments now. ( as much as anyone can be to get dental work done ). They're caring, kind, and patient with my child. They communicate well with us parents and are happy to answer all of our annoying questions. I had braces as a teenager and did not have the same experience so I am extremely grateful to have them as her orthodontist and would recommend them to anyone
