I am so lucky to have a profession I love and that allows me to make a real difference in peoples lives. Ive been a practicing orthodontist for about35years and am still thrilled to see the self-confidence my patients develop as a result of their beautiful new smiles!

Im particularly excited about the ongoing technological and treatment innovations happening in orthodontics. These, when properly utilized, reduce treatment time, make the process more comfortable, and deliver the stable, lasting smiles my patients love.

For me, orthodontics is the perfect combination of science, technology, art, and personal connections. Each patient comes in with different needs and concerns;in our conversations, as we develop a treatment plan, and then during treatment, we develop a connection;and by the time theyve achieved their best smile, were friends.

In 1987, I graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University School of Dentistry with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. I entered the Georgetown University orthodontic residency program and earned my Master of Science in Orthodontics in 1989. From 1989 to1990, I was an instructor in the orthodontic program at Georgetown.

Continuing education is a core part of my commitment to my profession and to my patients. Each year I complete many courses tostayuptodate with the latest techniques, materials, and technologies, as well as to reviewdifferent research discussions. Additionally, Im an active member of the Greater Washington Orthodontic Study Club and the Advanced Orthodontic Group.

Born and raised in Albany, New York, I have lived with my family in Annapolis for many years. Angela, my wife, is an attorney and we enjoy traveling and dining out. We have four great children: two sons and two daughters, who have all graduated from college and graduate school and have started their professional careers. One of our daughters, Tara, is currently attending an orthodontic residencyat the Bronx Lebanon Hospital. Cece, our family Mutt, keeps everyone in line!

When Im not in the office, I enjoy time with family and friends, golfing, and boating on the Chesapeake Bay. I really like sailing because of how complex it is to learn and the beauty of being on the water.

My husband Jim and I have been married for 25 years. We have two adult daughters, Kayla and Lindsay, and two dogs, Baylee and Daisy. I love going to the beach, sitting around the pool, and watching football (were a Steeler/Redskin household!). Of course, time with family and friends is my top priority.

Its a great feeling to see the relief on patients and their parents faces when were able to maximize their insurance benefits. I joined the Sheehan Orthodontics family in 2015 and love every minute here. Its such a positive environment, where we create lasting and beautiful smiles!

I verify insurance benefits, submit claims, track insurance payments, and advocate on our patients behalf with insurance companies. Dr. Sheehan and my coworkers are professionals who are also patient-centered and do everything possible to keep patients comfortable and excited about getting a new smile!

My husband Rob and I have three kids Christian, Sydney, and Connor as well as our dog Trooper, and our cat Lyla. They all keep me hopping! In what spare time I can find, I enjoy catching home dcor sales and decorating our house.

I have been a proud member of Dr. Sheehan's staff since 2018, and I am one of the first faces you see when you walk into the practice! I am the financial coordinator, and I handle all aspects of patient billingm payments, and financial contracts.

I was born and raised in Maryland. I have called Mount Airy my home since 1998. I have three adult children, Anthony, Ben, and Jessi. We recently expanded the family andI now have a granddaughter, Hazel. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spening time outdoors.

I like getting to know our patients and seeing how they become happier and more confident with a new smile! I attended Southern Maryland Dental Society for my certifications, started in the field in 2011, and joined the Sheehan Orthodontics family in 2016.

Working in the back, I seat patients, prepare them for their procedure, and talk about what will happen during their visit. I love how everyone at the office feels like a warm family and how we have fun talking and laughing with our patients, their families, and each other.

I love being part of a great team that helps our patients achieve beautiful smiles! I joined Sheehan Orthodontics in 2016, having started in the field in 2008. I have my orthodontic assistant and X-ray certifications.

My days are spent in the back: seating patients, explaining what well be doing, and assisting Dr. Sheehan. I and the rest of our team make sure our patients and parents are informed and happy. Our office feels like a big, warm family and our patients are a big part of that.

If youre ready to change your life through orthodontic care, Dr. Peter Sheehan and our team are ready to help. Well ensure you achieve a beautifully, healthy, and confident smile that allows your personality to shine!

For Dr. Sheehan and staff, we never forget the person in our care. You are important to us as an individual, and were looking forward to getting to know you and being your partners at this exciting time.

Our approach to orthodontic treatment combines advanced techniques, leading-edge technology, and the essential balance of science, medicine, and art. While were gently moving your teeth into correct position improving function, bite, and appearance we focus on stable, long-term results. Youre going to be sharing this smile for a lifetime and we want it to last!

We believe you deserve the highest quality of clinical care, through the use of conservative techniques, with treatment tailored to your specific clinical and personal needs. We also believe you deserve customer care that has you smiling from your first phone call to your last visit!

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
