Frequently Asked Questions Before Getting Braces in Pompano Beach

Do you take Medicare?

We're one of the dentists who take Medicare in Pompano Beach, and we're happy to help you understand how it applies to orthodontic treatment. We also accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible financing, so we can walk you through your specific coverage and out-of-pocket cost before you commit to anything.

How much do braces cost in Pompano Beach?

Braces pricing depends on the type you choose (traditional metal, ceramic, or lingual) and the complexity of your case. Rather than quoting a generic number, we provide a personalized cost estimate after your consultation, along with a clear breakdown of what's included so there are no surprises later.

Can I pay for braces in monthly payments?

Absolutely. We offer flexible, in-house payment plans that break the total cost into manageable monthly installments, often with little to no interest. Most patients pay a modest down payment upfront and spread the remainder over the duration of their treatment.

At what age should my child start orthodontic treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if treatment doesn't start right away. Early evaluation lets us catch developing issues—like crowding or bite problems—while there's still room to guide growth, which can mean simpler treatment later on.

How long does treatment with braces typically take?

Most comprehensive orthodontic cases take between 12 and 24 months, though simpler cases may finish sooner, and more complex bites can take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline specific to your smile after your initial exam.

What's the difference between braces and Invisalign?

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move teeth and work well for even the most complex cases, while Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are more discreet but require consistent daily wear to stay on schedule. We'll help you decide which option fits your lifestyle, budget, and orthodontic needs.

Is getting braces painful?

Most patients feel some pressure or mild soreness for a few days after getting braces placed or adjusted, but this is normal and temporary—it means the braces are doing their job. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods usually make the adjustment period comfortable.
