What are braces?

Braces straighten teeth and correct bite problems using brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure. Options include metal, ceramic (tooth-coloured) and lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Treatment usually lasts 18–36 months.

Braces: specialist or general dentist?

Orthodontists provide most braces treatment and have 2–3 extra years of training in tooth and jaw alignment. Some general dentists offer braces for simpler cases. Complex bites and jaw growth problems are usually best handled by an orthodontist.

32 of Jacksonville's 140 clinics offering braces have an orthodontist on staff. See orthodontists in Jacksonville

How much do braces cost in Jacksonville?

Basis: DentistsRanked estimate from typical fees, adjusted for Florida. Ask the clinic for a written estimate.

Do general dentists in Jacksonville do braces?

Are braces covered by insurance or Medicaid in Florida?
