Pediatric orthodontic services in Aventura

What Is Orthodontic Dentistry?

An orthodontic dentist can diagnose and correct misalignments of the teeth and jaw and recommend procedures to prevent recurrence of the problems. If you need orthodontic work, call our Aventura office to schedule an appointment. Although adult braces are trendy, sometimes another solution can be as effective, but you'll need a professional diagnosis to determine if that's feasible.

How Do I Know If I Need Orthodontic Work?

Although some people never need orthodontic work, many do. You may benefit from orthodontic work if you have bite issues such as:

• Crossbite
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Buck teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Uneven spacing

When these types of conditions remain untreated, you can develop headaches, migraines, earaches, and other types of pain. Decay and gum disease can also form, and you may have problems chewing, biting, and speaking. If you have any of these issues, then call our Aventura office to schedule an appointment with an orthodontist in our office.

What Are the Choices for Braces?

 At one time, the only choice was the metal style. However, advances in dentistry have yielded invisible, ceramic, clear, and other types as well as the traditional metal options. Your dentist will recommend the best choice for your unique needs and your goals. Not all styles are suitable for all orthodontic issues, so you'll need a professional diagnosis to get the type that's best suited for you. Call an orthodontist in Aventura to schedule the initial consultation for you or your child. Our office provides orthodontic procedures to patients of all ages, so don't delay because you think you're too old or your child is too young.

What Should I Know About Braces for My Child?

If your child needs orthodontic work, they shouldn't be made to feel that they're being punished or singled out or ashamed because they don't have perfect teeth. When a child gets the dental treatments they need at an early age, it trains them to regularly practice good, lifelong dental habits.

If cost is a factor in getting orthodontics work for your child – or yourself – then let us know. We offer several payment options that can help you afford needed dental treatments. We accept most major credit cards, most insurance plans, and we have several discount dental programs that can save you substantially on specialist procedures as well as routine preventive treatments. But we don't want you to avoid the dental procedures you or your child need because of budget constraints, so call us for more information.

Are There Different Types of Braces for Adults?

Yes, braces are no longer just for teenagers and younger children. Many adults have focused on their careers and families throughout their lives and had neither the time nor the money to address their own orthodontic needs. Many options for correcting teeth are available for adults, including invisible braces that no one will notice unless you tell them. If you need braces in Aventura, call our office to schedule an appointment or get more information.

What Will Be the Cost of My Treatment?

Your braces cost will depend on several factors that include:

• The degree of correction you need
• Any additional procedures that you need
• The type of dental appliance you select
• Your insurance coverage
• The area in which your dentist is located

 We'll provide you with a comprehensive estimate of your final charges when you come in for your initial consultation. Our rates are very competitive, and we're among the best for customer service. Before you come in, check with your insurance provider to determine the extent of your coverage.

Do All Dentists Provide Braces?

Although some general dentists may provide limited orthodontic services, most won't have the skills or differing types of braces available that an orthodontist will have. In addition, an orthodontic specialist has a minimum of two additional years of training and education beyond the requirements for the general dental license, so if you need orthodontic work, we can help you.
