Pediatric orthodontic services in Miami

If you're wondering, "Is there an orthodontist near me?" then call our office, and we can help you.

Braces are one of the most common orthodontic procedures, and they're used for everyone of any age who needs their teeth straightened or realigned. A variety of styles are available, and your orthodontist will recommend the style that will work best for your unique needs. However, not all types are suitable for all ages and dental needs. For more information, give us a call.

 What's Included in the Field of Orthodontics?

Orthodontics addresses the diagnosis, correction, and prevention of structural issues with the teeth and jaws. It can also correct various bite issues, whether you have an overbite, crossbite, underbite, or any other problem with an incorrectly aligned bite pattern. A variety of orthodontic appliances are used for correcting these issues, but braces are the most common.

Does Everyone Need Orthodontic Procedures?

Although a fortunate few are born with perfectly aligned teeth and bite patterns, many more need orthodontic work at some point in their lives. Ideally, this should be done at an early age, but that's not always feasible. If you are among the many who needed orthodontic work but didn't receive it, it's never too late to come in for a correction. We treat patients of all ages, from 6 months to those in their 70s and beyond. If you'd like an orthodontic consultation so you can achieve the best smile possible, then call our office, and we'll be happy to schedule an appointment, answer all your questions, or both!

What Are the Options for Braces for Children and for Adults?

The types of braces your orthodontist recommends for you will depend on your objectives and your dental issues. Some types of braces work best for specific needs, and your orthodontic specialist will work with you so that your treatment is the most effective possible and takes the least amount of time. Traditional metal styles were the only option at one time, but advances in modern dentistry have yielded quite a selection for those who need these dental appliances. 

Clear, invisible, and ceramic styles are now available in addition to the traditional metal style, and each has advantages. For very young children, metal is usually recommended because young children may lack the self-discipline and dexterity needed to wear invisible braces successfully. If you'd like more information, give us a call, and we'll be happy to help you.

What Information Is Important to Know Before Getting Orthodontic Work for My Child?

We offer orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from infant or toddler to senior citizen, and we want all our patients to have a positive experience in our office. Children should never be criticized, ashamed, or punished because they need orthodontic work. Nor should they think they're being singled out. Instead, we want to instill a positive attitude about good dental hygiene in our young patients so that they maintain good dental health and habits throughout their lifetime.

If finances are an issue, we offer a variety of payment options so that your child can receive the treatments they need at a price that will fit your budget. Talk to us about payment options when you come in for your appointment, or call us if that works better for you.

Is There An Upper Age Limit for Orthodontic Work or Braces in Miami?

Absolutely not! Whether you're 6 or 60 years old or older, you're never too old to reform your smile. Adult braces are very common, and when you select the invisible ones, no one will know that you're wearing them unless you share that fact. Many adults were focused on career and family throughout their lives and now want to have the straight, even teeth of their dreams! If you'd like more information or to schedule an appointment, give us a call.

How Much Will My Braces Cost?

As with any dental procedure, several factors will influence your final cost, including:

• The amount of correction needed
• Additional procedures that may be needed
• The type of appliance selected
• Your insurance coverage
• The area in which you live
