In their words
Dental health care is a rather subjective and unique experience to us all. Every individual if asked, would share an experience that is very specific to their dental health problems, and more importantly to how it was treated and handled by the dental professional. Making sure a patient has a great experience where they are at ease and where care is fully focused on their individualistic concerns, where attention is paid and focused on their unique requirements can be rare…

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.

None of Lakewood Ranch's 20 clinics offering braces list an orthodontist on staff in our data yet. See orthodontists in Lakewood Ranch
