Orthodontics in Clearwater

Whether you’re a parent considering braces for your child, a teen ready to invest in your smile, or an adult exploring treatment options, orthodontics can transform your bite, alignment, and confidence.

Why Orthodontics Matters

Orthodontic treatment does more than straighten teeth, but also improves your bite function, reduces strain on your jaw, and creates a smile you’ll love for life. Whether you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, our comprehensive approach addresses alignment while considering airway health and long-term function.

Discreet Treatment Options

Many adults hesitate to pursue orthodontic treatment because they’re concerned about wearing visible metal braces. We offer several discreet alternatives including clear aligners that are virtually invisible and ceramic braces with tooth-colored brackets blending naturally with your smile. These modern options allow you to improve your teeth alignment while maintaining your professional appearance and confidence throughout treatment.

Personalized Care and Communication

We take time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and explain every step of your treatment process. You’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation using advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing us to show you projected results before you begin. Our transparent approach means you’ll always understand what’s happening, why certain movements are necessary, and how long each phase will take. No pressure, no confusion, just honest communication and quality care.

We offer multiple orthodontic solutions tailored to your needs and lifestyle:

  • Traditional Braces: Proven effective for all ages and complex cases

Orthodontics for Every Age

For Children

Early orthodontic evaluation can identify alignment issues during key developmental years, allowing us to guide proper growth and potentially simplify future treatment. Many children benefit from early intervention, though comprehensive braces treatment typically begins in the teen years.

For Teens

The teen years are an ideal time for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Teens often complete treatment faster than adults, and many enjoy personalizing their braces with colored bands. Whether you’re preparing for college, sports, or simply want to feel confident in your smile, we make treatment comfortable and convenient.

Conditions We Treat: Overbite, Underbite, Crossbite & More

Orthodontic treatment addresses a wide range of bite and alignment issues that affect both function and appearance. At ABM Orthodontics, we treat common conditions including overbites (where upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively), underbites (where the lower jaw protrudes forward), and crossbites (where upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth). We also correct open bites, crowding, spacing issues, and misaligned midlines. Each condition requires a customized approach based on your unique dental structure and treatment goals.

Dr. Mahdavi uses comprehensive diagnostic tools including 3D imaging to evaluate your specific condition and develop an effective treatment plan. Whether your concerns are primarily cosmetic or functional, we create solutions that improve your bite, oral health, and confidence. Early evaluation allows us to identify developing issues in children and address them at the optimal time, while adults benefit from modern treatment options that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I too old for braces or orthodontic treatment?

You’re never too old for orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many of our patients are adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontic treatment can successfully straighten your smile and improve your bite function regardless of your age.

Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of your case, but most adults complete orthodontic treatment in 12 to 24 months. Some minor corrections may take as little as six months, while more comprehensive cases could require up to two years. We’ll provide a personalized timeline during your consultation based on your specific needs and goals.

Yes, many adults successfully undergo orthodontic treatment even with existing dental work like crowns, bridges, or implants. During your evaluation, Dr. Brooke will assess your dental history and create a treatment plan working with your existing restorations. In some cases, we may coordinate with your general dentist to ensure optimal results.

Modern orthodontic options are designed to fit seamlessly into your professional life. Clear aligners are virtually invisible and removable for important meetings or presentations. Ceramic braces feature tooth-colored brackets that blend naturally with your smile. We also offer flexible scheduling including select Saturdays and virtual check-ins to minimize time away from work.
