Metal Braces in Jacksonville, Orange Park, & Starke, FL
Metal braces are durable brackets and wires that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Treatment typically lasts 12 to 24 months, with regular adjustments every 4 to 8 weeks. Braces are ideal for correcting crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and other alignment issues. Both adults and kids can benefit from braces, but it’s best to see an orthodontist when the teeth and jaws are still developing, typically between the ages of 7 and 17. This enables our team to analyze growth patterns, identify potential issues, and recommend the optimal time to initiate treatment.
We understand that a lot of patients worry about how orthodontic treatment might affect their daily routine, from what they eat to how they talk or smile. That’s why our office offers a variety of orthodontic options, including traditional braces, clear braces, and nearly invisible aligners. With so many choices, there’s always a treatment that suits your lifestyle, whether you’re a busy professional, an active teenager, or someone seeking a more discreet option.
Our orthodontist, Dr. Labib, customizes each treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring long-lasting, beautiful results.
