Orthodontic treatment in Fleming Island
Metal Braces.
Metal braces remain the most reliable and effective way to achieve a perfectly aligned smile. Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever.
What to expect
How treatment actually goes.
You will know what is happening at each stage, because we would rather over-explain than have you guess.
- ConsultationOne of our two orthodontic specialists examines you, takes photos and a digital scan, and talks through what your bite actually needs. It takes about 40 minutes and there is no charge for it.
- Custom PlanYour doctor writes the plan for your case: how it will be treated, how often you will come in, and what it will cost. You get it in writing, and it is written for your bite rather than pulled off a shelf.
- TreatmentYou come in every four to ten weeks for an adjustment, and the same team sees you each time.
- ResultsBrackets come off, we take the scan for your retainers the same day, and we will still answer the phone in 2030 when you have a question about them.
Common questions
What parents ask about metal braces.
These are the three questions we hear most often before someone books a metal braces consultation.
How much do metal braces cost?
Cost varies based on complexity. We provide a detailed, written breakdown during your complimentary consultation, including what your insurance is likely to cover and a 0% in-house monthly figure. We do not quote ranges over the phone.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on how much correction your bite needs, and nobody can tell you honestly from a web page. What we can tell you is that your orthodontist sets your timeline at the consultation, after seeing your scans and x-rays, and you get it in writing before you start.
Am I a good candidate?
Metal Braces are typically the right answer for children, teens, adults. The full answer comes during your complimentary consultation. Sometimes another option is a better fit, and we will tell you when it is.
