Orthodontic dentistry

If you’re looking to straighten your teeth, we offer orthodontic dentistry services. Dealing with misaligned teeth may be stopping you from showing off your smile, but we can help correct that. After your treatment period is over, you’ll be able to show everyone your beautiful, straight smile.

What is Orthodontic Dentistry?

Orthodontic dentistry is the practice of straightening your teeth and it can be done in several different ways, such as traditional braces and Invisalign®*. Braces are typically the faster process, but Invisalign®’s advantage is that you will barely see them on your teeth. We will talk about your options to figure out which method is best for you.

Orthodontic care is not something that’s required, but it can make life easier if your teeth are misaligned to extreme levels. We are ready to take on any challenge your teeth present, from simpler cases to more difficult ones. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, orthodontic care may be right for you:

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ORTHODONTIC DENTISTRY?

The obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment is a straighter smile, but here are some other benefits you can look forward to:

• Improved chewing
• Easier to clean your teeth
• Reduced risk of chipping/losing tooth from injury
• Reduce grinding

Frequently Asked Questions for Braces in Pembroke Pines

What is Orthodontic Dentistry and Why Is It Important?

Orthodontic dentistry is the practice of straightening your teeth, and it can be done in several different ways, such as traditional braces and Invisalign®*. Braces are typically the faster option, but the advantage of Invisalign® is that you will barely see them on your teeth. We will discuss your options to determine which method is best for you.
What makes orthodontic dentistry important is how it has the potential to change your oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, have fewer cavities and gum disease, and won’t cause bite issues, like TMJ disease. For these reasons, dentists recommend braces or clear aligners at all stages of life.

How Much Do Braces Cost, and Do You Offer Payment Plans?

Braces costs vary based on the complexity of your case and whether you choose traditional braces or Invisalign®. We break down your options and the full cost during your consultation before any treatment begins, and we offer flexible monthly payment plans so straightening your smile fits your budget rather than requiring a single large upfront payment.

Are Braces Only for Kids, or Can Adults Get Them Too?

Braces work at any age—there's no cutoff for straightening your teeth. Many of our patients are adults who either never had orthodontic treatment growing up or whose teeth have shifted over time. Whether you're considering braces for your child or for yourself, we'll build a treatment plan suited to your specific bite, timeline, and lifestyle.

Do You Take Medicare?

Yes, we accept Medicare for eligible dental services.
If you're searching for dentists who take Medicare in Pompano Beach or nearby areas like Pembroke Pines, our office can confirm your specific plan's coverage for orthodontic treatment before your visit.

How Long Will I Need to Wear Braces?

The exact duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the severity of the case, the condition of your jawbone, and your compliance with wear indications for treatments such as Invisalign. However, we often see patients wearing orthodontics for between a year and a half and two years.

Do I Have to Wear a Retainer Afterward?

Yes, teeth can be stubborn and shift back to their previous positions otherwise. Luckily, nowadays there’s a wide variety of retainers you can choose from, depending on your needs, ranging from fixed retainers you don’t need to remember to wear to night retainers that won’t impact your daily routine.
