Milan sits across the Washtenaw-Monroe county line, about 16 miles south of our Ann Arbor office, and most of the drive is a straight run up US-23 and over to I-94. This page covers the route, the Milan schools your children may attend, and what to expect at a first visit.
At Ann Arbor Orthodontics, we welcome patients from Milan and the surrounding area. Dr. Mary Beth Moenssen and Dr. Brandon Shoukri see them at 2084 South Main Street, roughly 22 minutes from Milan without traffic.
Our office is at 2084 South Main Street in Ann Arbor, about 16 miles from downtown Milan, roughly a 22-minute drive without traffic. About three-quarters of the miles are on US-23 and I-94, so allow a few extra minutes at rush hour or in winter weather.
From downtown Milan, head to Carpenter Road and take US-23 north to I-94 west. Exit at Ann Arbor-Saline Road and continue to South Main Street. Your map app can pick the quickest route on the day.
Milan Area Schools reorganized its grade levels in 2024, as its About Us page explains. Following the American Association of Orthodontists' guidance on a first check-up by age 7, here is how each stage lines up:
The district posts a calendar for each building online, so it's easy to line up visits with no-school days. Milan's students move through just three buildings between second grade and graduation, so it's easy to keep an orthodontic plan on track across the years. At your consultation we'll outline how often appointments tend to be, which helps when the drive is longer.
Plans start with age and growth. Younger patients may be candidates for Phase 1 Treatment, others simply need periodic check-ups, and teens and adults can weigh Braces against Invisalign. At your consultation we'll lay out the options and our reasoning.
Milan's community life centers on Wilson Park, which hosts the Milan Fair and the Milan Farm & Flea Market. The fair is one of the first in Washtenaw County each year, with a parade on opening day, carnival rides, and fireworks on Friday night. The Milan Area Chamber of Commerce events page points to MilanEvents.org, the community calendar for everything happening in town.
Your first visit is a complimentary consultation, with no commitment to start treatment. We'll check your child's teeth and bite, discuss whether treatment is recommended, and share a cost estimate if it is. Parents are encouraged to ask questions at every step. The American Association of Orthodontists walks through a typical first appointment, from the exam to the treatment plan and the discussion of cost.
Our team takes a digital scan with 3D Scanning in many cases rather than using impression trays, and can explain Finance & Insurance before you decide anything. When you're ready, Schedule a Consultation. For more background, read How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take for My Child? or Does Insurance Cover Orthodontic Treatment?
