Braces in Aventura, FL
Traditional Braces at Dental Care Group Aventura
While Invisalign is the preferred choice for many Aventura patients, traditional braces remain the most effective option for certain orthodontic cases—particularly severe crowding, complex bite issues, and cases requiring significant tooth movement. At Dental Care Group in Aventura, our team provides both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces for teens and adults throughout Miami-Dade County.
As a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider, Dr. Rick Mars has extensive orthodontic expertise and recommends traditional braces only when they’ll deliver a better outcome than clear aligners. This means if braces are recommended at our Aventura office, it’s because they’re truly the best path to your ideal smile. Read our detailed braces vs. Invisalign comparison to understand the differences.
Types of Braces Available in Aventura
Metal Braces: The most common and cost-effective option. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than previous generations. They provide precise control for complex tooth movements.
Clear Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that blend with your teeth for a less noticeable appearance. They offer the same effectiveness as metal braces with improved aesthetics—popular with adult patients at our Aventura office.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do braces cost at Dental Care Group in Aventura?
Braces costs at our Aventura office depend on the complexity and estimated treatment duration. Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage that applies to braces. Dental Care Group offers payment plans to make braces affordable for Aventura families. Contact us at (305) 935-2797 for a consultation with a specific cost estimate.
How long does braces treatment take?
Most braces cases at our Aventura office take 12 to 24 months, depending on the severity of alignment issues. Dr. Mars provides a specific timeline estimate during your consultation based on your individual needs.
Are braces better than Invisalign?
It depends on your specific case. Braces excel at treating severe crowding, complex bite issues, and cases requiring significant vertical tooth movement. Invisalign is better for mild to moderate cases and offers the advantage of being removable and virtually invisible. At our Aventura office, Dr. Mars evaluates your teeth and recommends whichever option will deliver the best result.
Do braces hurt?
You’ll experience some discomfort for a few days after braces are placed and after each adjustment appointment. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most Aventura patients find that the soreness fades within 3-5 days after each adjustment.
Can adults get braces at the Aventura office?
Absolutely. An increasing number of adults at our Aventura office choose orthodontic treatment. There’s no age limit for braces, and ceramic (clear) braces offer a discreet option for adults who prefer a less visible treatment. Dr. Mars treats patients of all ages.
How often will I need adjustment appointments in Aventura?
Most braces patients visit our Aventura office every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments. These appointments are typically quick—15 to 30 minutes—and our Saturday hours make scheduling convenient for busy families and working professionals.
