Fort Lauderdale Orthodontics 

Orthodontic care has changed dramatically over the years. Advances in technology and the development of new treatments have created more effective methods for correcting bite and alignment issues. We offer a few different treatment options for orthodontics in Fort Lauderdale to provide the best care for the individual patient. 

Alignment and spacing can be corrected with: 

• Traditional braces – When most people think of orthodontics, they picture metal braces. Traditional braces are made of medical-grade stainless steel and attached to the front of the teeth with dental cement. Brackets are connected by a thin wire that applies gentle pressure to shift the alignment of the teeth.
• Invisible braces – Many patients, including teens and adults, don’t like the look of metal braces. Clear ceramic braces work in the same way as metal braces. A clear ceramic material is used to make these braces, which are much less noticeable.
• Clear aligners – Clear, removable orthodontic aligners are an alternative to braces. This treatment involves a series of clear removable aligners that are custom-designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You wear the aligners over your teeth and remove them for eating and brushing and flossing your teeth. Every two weeks, you will switch to the next aligner in the series until the teeth are in the desired position.

Every patient has unique needs and the best treatment depends on the specific problems that need to be corrected. Our orthodontic treatments are fully individualized to the needs of each patient. We recommend starting with an examination to evaluate your teeth and determine the most effective treatment to produce the results you want. 

How Much do Traditional Braces Cost Compared to Clear Aligners?

The cost of orthodontic treatments can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the and whether additional treatments or procedures are required. 

• Traditional braces: The cost of traditional braces typically varies based on the cost of the brackets, wires, adjustments, and regular check-ups throughout the treatment period, which can last anywhere from 18 months to 3 years. 
• Clear aligners: The cost of clear aligners is generally higher than traditional braces due to the advanced technology and the convenience they offer. Of course the price can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the length of treatment.
