When should a child see an orthodontist?

Many orthodontists recommend an evaluation around age seven. At this stage, a Boca Raton orthodontist can monitor jaw development and identify potential concerns early.

Is orthodontic treatment only for teenagers?

Not at all. Many adults visit an orthodontist in Boca Raton FL to improve their smile later in life.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case. Some patients finish in about a year, while others require longer treatment.

Will braces or aligners hurt?

Most patients experience mild pressure after adjustments, but it usually fades quickly as teeth begin to shift.

Do I still see my regular dentist?

Yes. Your dentist continues routine cleanings and exams while you receive Boca Raton Orthodontics treatment.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

What is an orthodontist, and how is one different from a regular dentist?

After dental school, an orthodontist continues another two to three years of training focused entirely on tooth alignment and bite correction. Your general dentist handles cleanings, cavities, and overall oral health. As a board-trained orthodontist in Boca Raton, FL, Dr. Tendler focuses on aligning teeth — designing and managing braces, Invisalign, retainers, and other corrective appliances to get your smile and bite where they should be.
