Orthodontic Options For Every Need

Orthodontic Appliances in South Florida

Customized Treatment Plans for Your Unique Smile

Our team believes that every patient should receive comprehensive care designed to create beautiful, healthy smiles. Besides braces and clear aligners, our team offers a number of other types of orthodontic treatments to address a wide range of specific dental and jaw alignment issues. Certain appliances also function as an early stage prior to treatment with braces or aligners, helping to prepare your mouth and jaw to make sure each stage of treatment is as effective as possible. We offer orthodontic treatment with free consultations at our offices in Coral Springs, Kendall, Lake Worth, and Plantation.

Other Types of Orthodontic Appliances We Offer

Palatal Expanders

Used primarily in younger patients whose jaws are still growing, palatal expanders gently widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites, eliminate crowding, and ensure proper alignment of the upper and lower teeth. This appliance can play a crucial role in preparing the mouth for future orthodontic treatment.

Space Maintainers

If a child loses a baby tooth prematurely, a space maintainer can prevent other teeth from shifting into the empty space, ensuring that there is enough room for the permanent tooth to erupt correctly. This appliance helps maintain dental alignment and can reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later on.

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)

TADs are small, temporary screws placed in the jawbone to serve as an anchor point for moving specific teeth. This innovative technology can shorten treatment time and achieve movements that might not be possible with braces alone.

Herbst Appliance

Often used for patients with an overbite, the Herbst appliance encourages the forward growth of the lower jaw while restraining the upper jaw, promoting better bite alignment. This appliance is typically used in growing children and adolescents to take advantage of natural growth patterns.

Retainers

After the active phase of orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining the new position of the teeth. We offer a variety of retainers, including fixed, Hawley, and clear aligners, to ensure that each patient’s smile remains straight and beautiful long after their braces come off.

At American Pediatric Dental Group, our experienced team takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s unique situation, developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses individual needs and goals. Our commitment to utilizing the latest in orthodontic technology and techniques ensures that our patients receive the most effective and efficient care possible.

An incredibly wonderful dental clinic, its staff is highly qualified, a very professional and friendly staff, very attentive, the treatment of children being the best I have ever seen. I recommend this clinic and its doctors and technical staff 100%.

Doctors are very friendly and understanding with kids, and also take parents in consideration to join the process and explain everything you need to know about your child's dental health. Making and rescheduling appointments is very easy. And there's almost no wait time.

Super attentive and knowledgeable. I appreciate how clearly the doctor explained everything and takes time to answer questions. Very gentle and thorough with my options.

The office is so clean and welcoming, and the staff makes children feel so comfortable. The way that they give details on what each child needs was so good. I’m happy that we made the decision to switch dental offices and come to American Pediatric Dental.

Amazing experience! I have been bringing my kids here for a while but today was the best experience yet. The dental hygienist was so patient and caring.

I've been taking my son here for more than 10 years. The staff are super nice and very professional as well as the doctors. I recommend this dentist to everyone.
