Orthodontics Miami | Teeth Straightening

Modern Orthodontic Solutions

Orthodontic treatment is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles.

At Smile Design Miami, we offer various orthodontic options to straighten teeth and align your bite:

Clear aligners like Invisalign® for discreet treatment
Traditional braces with modern enhancements
Ceramic braces that blend with tooth color
Accelerated orthodontic options for faster results
Retainers and post-treatment maintenance

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of orthodontic treatment you choose. On average, clear aligner treatment takes 6-18 months, while traditional braces typically require 18-24 months. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized estimate.

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?

You may experience temporary discomfort when braces are first placed or after adjustments, or when switching to a new set of aligners. This typically lasts just a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Today's orthodontic treatments are designed to minimize discomfort while effectively moving teeth.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

Absolutely not! About 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. As long as your gums and bone structure are healthy, teeth can be moved at any age. Many adults choose clear aligners for their discreet appearance, but all treatment options are available depending on your specific needs.

What's the cost of orthodontic treatment in Miami?

The cost varies based on treatment complexity and the orthodontic option you choose. We offer flexible financing plans and work with most insurance providers that cover orthodontics. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss financial options to make treatment affordable.
