Orthodontics in Miami-Dade & Davie
South Dental provides orthodontic evaluations and personalized treatment options for children, teenagers and adults at participating locations across Miami-Dade and Davie.
Orthodontic Care for a Healthier Smile
Orthodontic treatment focuses on the position of the teeth and the way the upper and lower teeth come together. Improving alignment may support oral function, make certain areas easier to clean and enhance the appearance of the smile.
Every patient has different needs. Before recommending treatment, the dental team evaluates tooth alignment, bite, jaw development and overall oral health. Existing dental concerns may need to be addressed before orthodontic treatment begins.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
Depending on the evaluation and treatment goals, available options may include:
- Traditional braces: Brackets and wires gradually guide the teeth toward their planned positions.
- Clear aligners: A series of removable aligners may be appropriate for certain alignment and bite concerns.
- Orthodontic care for children and teenagers: Evaluation of developing teeth and jaws can help determine whether treatment may be beneficial.
- Adult orthodontic treatment: Adults may explore suitable options for improving tooth alignment and bite function.
- Retainers and follow-up care: Retainers may be recommended after active treatment to help maintain the planned tooth positions.
What to Expect During an Orthodontic Evaluation
Your evaluation may include a review of your dental history, an examination of your teeth and bite, photographs and diagnostic images when clinically appropriate. The dentist or orthodontic provider will explain suitable options, expected treatment time, follow-up requirements and limitations.
Treatment availability and recommendations may vary by location and individual oral health needs. Costs and payment options should be confirmed after completing the evaluation and receiving a personalized treatment plan.
