Orthodontics

The idea that orthodontics is just for teenagers is about 30 years out of date. Today, roughly one in three orthodontic patients in the US is an adult — and that number keeps climbing, largely because the options have gotten better.

Clear aligners changed the conversation. So did digital planning, which makes treatment faster and more predictable than it used to be. Adults who would never have worn metal brackets for two years are now finishing treatment in 12 to 18 months with aligners they can remove for dinner and a photo. The results are the same. The experience is completely different.

Whether you’re 16 or 46, orthodontic services at Millennium Aesthetics are built around your actual situation — not a standard protocol applied to everyone who walks in.

Orthodontic dentistry at Millennium Aesthetics covers:

• Clear aligners (Invisalign) — removable, nearly invisible, and the preferred option for most adult patients.
• Traditional braces — still the right choice for certain bite corrections and more complex tooth movements.
• Retainers — fixed and removable, to maintain results after active treatment ends.
• Bite correction — addressing overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite as part of a gnathologically sound treatment plan.

Orthodontic Invisalign treatment at Millennium Aesthetics goes beyond simple alignment. As gnathology specialists, we plan each case to address bite function and jaw balance, not just the cosmetic result. Aligners are custom-made from digital scans — no physical molds, no awkward trays. Most patients wear each set for one to two weeks, progressing through the series until treatment is complete.

Orthodontists for adults handle a different set of concerns than pediatric cases. Adults usually know exactly what bothers them about their smile and want a clear plan, a realistic timeline, and treatment that doesn’t interfere with work, social life, or how they look in the meantime.

That’s where advance orthodontics with clear aligners makes sense for most people. Aligners are removable, so you take them out to eat and brush normally. There are no food restrictions, no wire adjustments, no emergency calls about a bracket that came off. You wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and swap to the next set on schedule.

For cases that genuinely need braces — certain bite corrections, rotations, significant crowding — we’re straightforward about it. A good orthodontic dentist gives you the honest option, not the comfortable one.

We also see adults who had orthodontic treatment years ago and whose teeth have shifted since. Relapse is common. It’s also fixable, and usually faster the second time.

Patients come to us from across Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and South Florida. Orthodontists in Fort Lauderdale who combine clear aligner expertise with functional bite analysis are not as common as you’d think — that combination matters for lasting results.

The cost of orthodontist treatment varies, and the range is wide enough that broad estimates don’t help much. Here’s what actually moves the number:

• Type of orthodontic treatments. Clear aligners for mild to moderate crowding cost less than a complex full-bite correction. Traditional braces for a severe case will be priced differently than a short-term aligner case for minor shifting.
• Case complexity. More tooth movement, more aligners, more appointments. Cases that also involve bite correction or jaw repositioning require more planning time and a longer treatment arc.
• Duration. Most adult cases run 12 to 24 months. Shorter cases are naturally less expensive.

At Millennium Aesthetics, pricing is discussed in full at the consultation. No vague estimates, no surprises when the treatment plan arrives. For patients concerned about upfront cost, we work with third-party financing partners — monthly payment options are available, and we can help find a plan that works. We’re also open on weekends for patients who can’t make weekday appointments.

Looking for a premier orthodontics practice or a cosmetic orthodontist in South Florida? Here’s what we actually bring to the table:

• Gnathological approach — we don’t just straighten teeth; we assess bite forces, jaw joint health, and muscle balance before designing a treatment plan. The goal is a result that holds and feels right, not just one that looks straight in a photo.
• Certified Invisalign provider — with extensive experience in clear aligner cases, from simple touch-ups to complex full-arch treatments.
• Digital planning — 3D scans, digital smile design, and computerized treatment simulation before treatment begins, so you know what to expect.
• Family-friendly — we treat patients of all ages, from teens to adults, under one roof. No separate pediatric referral needed for most cases.
• Fort Lauderdale location — accessible for patients across Miami, Pompano Beach, Hallandale, and the broader South Florida area, with weekend availability.

We’re a dental orthodontic clinic that takes both the functional and aesthetic sides seriously — an aesthetic orthodontist and a good orthodontist in the practical sense: honest about what your case needs and how long it will take.

An appointment with orthodontist specialists at Millennium Aesthetics starts with a consultation — a full assessment, digital imaging, and a treatment plan built around your specific teeth and bite. No obligation, no pressure.

Orthodontic consulting at our clinic is available for new patients throughout the week and on weekends. If you have an urgent issue — a wire that broke, a retainer that cracked, something that needs same-day attention — we handle emergency orthodontic situations as well.

Call us or book online today. Whether you’re just starting to think about treatment or you’ve been putting it off for years, the right time to get elite orthodontics care is when you’re ready. We’ll take it from there.
