Orthodontic treatment in Fleming Island

Early Treatment.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early treatment can guide jaw growth and prevent more complex issues.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. TreatmentAdjustments every 4–8 weeks, monitored by the same care team from start to finish.
  4. 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.
The honest version
“We only recommend what the diagnosis calls for. If it is not the right answer for you, your consultation is still on us, and we will tell you what is.”- Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Montoya

Two orthodontic specialists, both ortho-residency trained, who share one waiting room and know your family by name. That means whoever is at your first consultation is also at your last appointment, same chart, same hands, same standard.

Common questions

What parents ask about early treatment.

These are the three questions we hear most often before someone books a early treatment consultation.

How much do early treatment 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 We do not quote ranges over the phone.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?
Early Treatment are typically the right answer for children (7-10). The full answer comes during your complimentary consultation. Sometimes another option is a better fit, and we will tell you when it is.

The first consultation is on us and takes about 40 minutes. You leave with a plan, an answer, and, if it’s right, a chair waiting for you.
