Orthodontic treatment does more than create an attractive smile—it improves your oral health by making teeth easier to clean, reducing excessive wear on tooth surfaces, alleviating jaw strain, and correcting bite problems that can cause long-term complications.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or your child, our St. Augustine practice combines proven orthodontic techniques with cutting-edge technology to deliver efficient, comfortable care that transforms both function and aesthetics for lasting results.
Create a Beautiful, Confident Smile Straight, properly aligned teeth dramatically improve your smile’s appearance and boost your confidence, eliminating self-consciousness about crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth that make you hesitate to smile freely.
Improve Oral Health and Hygiene. Properly aligned teeth are significantly easier to clean thoroughly, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease by eliminating the tight spaces and overlapping areas where plaque accumulates and brushing can’t reach.
Correct Bite Problems and Jaw Function Orthodontic treatment addresses overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites that cause uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and TMJ disorders, restoring proper function and preventing long-term damage.
Prevent Future Dental Complications Correcting alignment issues now prevents problems like premature tooth wear, increased fracture risk, gum recession from misaligned bite forces, and the need for extensive restorative work later in life.
Multiple Treatment Options Available From traditional metal braces to clear ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners, we offer orthodontic solutions that fit different needs, preferences, budgets, and lifestyles for patients of all ages.

You’re never too old for orthodontic treatment—approximately 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. As long as you have healthy teeth and gums, orthodontics can successfully correct alignment issues at any age, though adult treatment may take slightly longer than treatment during adolescence when jaw growth aids correction.
Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to teeth with wires that apply continuous pressure, making them effective for complex cases but visible and requiring dietary restrictions. Invisalign uses removable clear aligners that are nearly invisible and allow normal eating and easier hygiene, though they require discipline to wear 20-22 hours daily and may not address extremely complex issues.
Treatment duration varies based on the severity of your misalignment, the type of treatment chosen, and your age, but most cases are completed in 12-30 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized timeline estimate based on your specific orthodontic needs and treatment plan.
You may experience mild discomfort or soreness for a few days after braces are placed or adjusted, or when starting new aligner sets, as your teeth begin moving—this is normal and indicates treatment is working. Any discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods, and subsides within a few days.
Orthodontic costs vary based on treatment complexity, duration, and the type of appliance chosen, typically ranging from several thousand dollars for simpler cases to more for comprehensive treatment. We’ll provide detailed pricing during your consultation and offer flexible financing options to make orthodontics affordable for your family.c outcome you envision.
