Best Orthodontist for Kids and Teens in South Florida
Your kid's smile matters, and finding the right orthodontist shouldn't be a headache. Parents across Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale know the struggle. You want someone who listens, delivers fast results, and doesn't drain your wallet with hidden fees. That's exactly what you get with SMILE-FX® Orthodontics & Clear Aligner Studio.
We're a board-certified orthodontic specialist practice in Miramar, FL, leading the way across Broward County and South Florida. Our team handles everything from kids to adults, using the latest AI technology and in-house 3D production to fix crowding, spacing, bites, and everything in between.
Why Families in Miramar and Beyond Trust SMILE-FX®
Here's the thing: most orthodontists work the same way they did 20 years ago.
They slap on braces, tell you to come back in six weeks, and hope for the best.
SMILE-FX® doesn't play that game.
We combine three things that change everything: AI-powered treatment planning, in-house 3D aligner production, and personalized care that actually fits your life.
Families from Miramar High, Pembroke Pines Charter, and schools across the area come to us because our scheduling works around school and sports.
No more missing practice or arriving late to class.
We get it—your teen's life is packed.
Our office sits at 11225 Miramar Pkwy STE B285, just a 15-minute drive from Pembroke Pines and 20 minutes from Weston.
That convenience alone keeps families coming back, but the real magic happens in our treatment results.
What's the Difference Between Braces and Clear Aligners for Your Teen?
This is probably your biggest question.
Metal braces work great if your kid has severe crowding or complex bite issues.
They're tough, reliable, and handle tough cases.
Clear aligners like Invisalign® work better if you want something invisible and removable for meals and sports.
At SMILE-FX®, we offer both plus options you won't find everywhere else.
- Metal braces: Fast, affordable, and we use AI precision bonding to cut discomfort
- Ceramic braces: Same strength as metal but tooth-colored, perfect for image-conscious teens
- Self-ligating braces: 40% less pressure and fewer office visits
- Invisalign®: Invisible, removable, and our patients see results in 4-6 months instead of the usual 12+
- NiTime aligners: Wear them only at night and during sleep
- SMILE-FX® clear aligners: Our own brand, made in-house for speed and precision
Here's what matters: we throw in free retainers and free whitening after treatment.
That's $1,100 in value most practices charge extra.
We don't nickel-and-dime families.
Early Intervention for Kids: Catch Problems Before They Snowball
If your kid is under 12, you need to know about interceptive treatment.
This is the move that stops major problems down the road.
Early intervention catches misaligned jaws, crowding, and bite issues while your child's bones are still growing.
Fix it now, and you prevent expensive surgery or complex treatments later.
We work with kids as young as 6 and catch problems other practices miss.
Our smile assessment quiz helps you spot signs your child might benefit from early care.
FAQ: Are Clear Aligners Really Good for Teens?
Yes, but with a catch.
Clear aligners like Invisalign® work best when teens commit to wearing them 20-22 hours a day.
If your teen is disciplined and won't forget them at lunch, aligners crush it.
They're virtually invisible, so zero self-consciousness at school.
They're removable for eating and brushing, which means no food stuck in brackets.
Most importantly, they work fast.
SMILE-FX® patients with moderate crowding or spacing see results in 4-6 months.
That's half the time of traditional braces.
Plus, teens from Fort Lauderdale schools love them because they don't interfere with sports or social events.

How SMILE-FX® Beats Traditional Orthodontists
We get it—you've probably seen other practices in the area.
Here's how we're different:
Speed: 4-6 months for many clear aligner cases versus 12+ months elsewhere.
Free 3D scans: Our first consultation is completely free and includes advanced 3D digital scans. Most practices charge $100-200 just for the scan.
Free retainers: After treatment, you get free retainers for life with clear aligner cases. Other offices tack on $300-600.
Fewer office visits: We use remote monitoring technology, so you visit 40% less than traditional practices. That's huge when you're juggling work and school schedules.
Less discomfort: Our AI-powered planning and advanced aligners apply 40% less pressure than conventional methods.
Transparency: No hidden fees, no surprise charges. You know the cost upfront.
We've had too many patients come in saying their previous orthodontist gave them vague treatment plans or hit them with unexpected costs.
That doesn't happen here.
Learn more about what makes us different from standard practices.
What About Bad Bite Cases or Prior Braces That Failed?
Not all cases are simple.
Some kids come to us after another practice didn't deliver.
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowding that came back after prior treatment, TMJ issues—we handle these.
Our board-certified specialist, Dr. Tracy M. Liang, uses biometric mapping and AI planning to fix complex cases that other practices shy away from.
If your child had braces that caused relapse (teeth shifting back), we catch why it happened and prevent it this time.
Check out our treatable cases page to see the range of problems we solve daily.

How We Use Cutting-Edge Technology to Speed Up Treatment
Here's where SMILE-FX® really stands out.
We don't just use technology—we own and operate our own 3D printing lab in-house.
That means no waiting for aligners to ship from some factory overseas.
We scan your teeth, design your aligners with AI, and print them right here in Miramar.
This keeps costs down and gets you results faster.
AI-powered planning means we map out every millimeter of tooth movement before treatment starts.
You see exactly what your smile will look like before we even begin.
Discover more about our advanced technology here.
What About Cost? Is This Going to Drain the Bank?
Orthodontics costs less than you think if you skip the gimmicks.
Most families in Broward County pay between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on complexity and whether they choose braces or aligners.
We work with most insurance plans and offer flexible payment plans with zero interest.
Plus, remember—you get free retainers and free whitening, which saves you over $1,000 down the line.
The real question isn't the cost of treatment, it's the cost of NOT treating it.
Untreated crowding leads to decay, gum disease, and potential jaw problems.
That costs way more to fix later.

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Every Age: Braces, Clear Aligners, and Invisalign in South Florida
You've got questions about what treatment actually works for your situation.
Metal braces, clear aligners, Invisalign, night-time aligners—the choices feel overwhelming.
Here's what most people get wrong: they think all orthodontic treatment is the same.
It's not.
The right option depends on your age, your bite problem, your lifestyle, and what matters to you most.
Let me break down how each treatment works so you can make the call that actually fits your life.
Metal Braces: The Reliable Workhorse for Complex Bite Problems
Metal braces have been around forever for a reason.
They work.
When you've got severe crowding, deep overbites, or multiple bite issues stacked on top of each other, metal braces are your best bet.
Here's why: they apply consistent pressure across all your teeth, which means they handle the tough cases that aligners can't touch.
Adults dealing with jaw misalignment, teenagers with severe crowding, kids with complex spacing issues—metal braces get it done.
The speed is solid too.
Most metal braces treatment takes 18 to 24 months, depending on how much work needs to happen.
One thing people worry about is how visible they are.
Fair concern if you're self-conscious.
But here's the reality: tons of adults wear them now.
Office jobs, professional settings, you name it.
If visibility matters less than results, metal braces are your move.
At SMILE-FX, we use AI precision bonding to make the process more comfortable than old-school methods.
You get faster results and less mouth soreness along the way.
Check out our braces options to see exactly what we offer.
Ceramic Braces: The Invisible Strength Option
Ceramic braces are basically metal braces' better-looking cousin.
They're just as strong, but they blend with your tooth color instead of sitting there shiny and obvious.
If you need the power of traditional braces but don't want everyone staring at your mouth, ceramics are worth considering.
The catch is cost and maintenance.
They're pricier than metal, and the brackets are a bit more fragile.
One hard bite into the wrong food and you could crack a bracket.
Still, for adults who want to stay professional-looking during treatment, they're a solid option.
They work the same speed as metal braces—18 to 24 months—but they look way cleaner.
Self-Ligating Braces: Fewer Office Visits, Less Pressure
Self-ligating braces are for people who hate frequent appointments.
Instead of rubber bands holding the wire in place, these braces have a built-in clip system.
That means less friction, less pressure on your teeth, and fewer visits to the office.
You're looking at 40% fewer appointments compared to traditional braces.
If you're juggling work, kids, school, or all of the above, that's huge.
The results speed is similar to metal braces—around 18 to 24 months—but the experience is way less intense.
Your mouth feels less sore between appointments because the pressure is gentler.
One heads up: they cost more than standard metal braces.
But if you're comparing the hassle of constant office visits versus the extra cash, it might be worth it.
Invisalign and Clear Aligners: The Invisible, Removable Path
Okay, let's talk about the treatment everyone asks about.
Clear aligners like Invisalign and our in-house SMILE-FX aligners are invisible, removable, and honestly game-changing for the right person.
You get a series of custom-molded plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth.
Every two weeks you switch to the next tray in the series.
They're removable, so you eat normal food, brush normally, and nobody at work or school knows you're straightening your teeth.
The speed is where clear aligners shine.
With traditional braces, you're looking at 18 to 24 months minimum.
With Invisalign or our SMILE-FX clear aligners, moderate crowding or spacing issues clear up in 4 to 6 months.
That's half the time.
Here's the real talk though: they only work if you wear them.
You need to keep them in 20 to 22 hours a day.
Forget them at lunch, leave them at home, or decide you don't feel like wearing them, and your treatment stalls.
We've seen it happen.
The teeth move backward, and what took four months to fix takes eight more.
If you're disciplined, clear aligners are incredible.
If you're the type to forget things or lose stuff, maybe braces are safer.
Learn more about our clear aligner options and how they work.
Night-Time Aligners: Straighten Your Teeth While You Sleep
NiTime aligners are wild because you literally wear them while sleeping.
Put them in before bed, take them out when you wake up.
They work best for mild to moderate crowding or spacing.
If your teeth need serious work, night-time aligners alone won't cut it.
But for that small gap that popped up or slight crowding that's bothering you, they're perfect.
The speed depends on your case, but many people see results in 6 to 12 months.
The best part is zero lifestyle impact.
Nobody sees them, they don't interfere with eating or talking, and you're done in just a few months.
Just make sure your bite issue is actually simple enough for night-time correction.
That's something we assess during your free consultation.
SMILE-FX Clear Aligners: Made In-House for Speed and Precision
We make our own aligners right here in Miramar.
No waiting for shipments from overseas factories.
No mystery about what's happening with your treatment.
We scan, design with AI, and print your aligners same-day or next-day.
This is why our aligner treatment moves faster than anywhere else.
You get custom-precision teeth movement without the corporate middle-man delays.
Plus, we catch problems early and adjust on the fly.
If your teeth need a slight course correction, we remake a tray in days instead of waiting weeks.
The cost is usually lower too, since we're not paying a third-party lab to produce them.
That savings gets passed to you.
What If You Had Braces Before and Your Teeth Shifted Back?
This happens more than you'd think.
You finished braces five years ago, felt great about your smile, then slowly watched your teeth creep back to their old position.
Frustrating, right?
The issue is usually poor retention—meaning you didn't wear your retainer as instructed.
No judgment, it happens to everyone.
The good news is we fix this all the time.
We figure out why the relapse happened and design a treatment plan that prevents it the second time around.
Sometimes that means more aggressive retention protocols after treatment.
Sometimes it means catching underlying jaw or bite issues we need to address first.
Check our treatable cases page to see examples of relapsed cases we've corrected.
Adults Versus Kids: Different Timing, Same Results
Kids and adults respond differently to orthodontic care.
Kids have bones that are still growing, which means their treatment can be faster and sometimes simpler.
We can guide jaw growth, use interceptive treatment to stop problems before they get bad, and leverage their growing bodies to our advantage.
Adults don't have that bone growth, so treatment takes slightly longer.
But here's what adults have: discipline and motivation.
Most adults are way more consistent about wearing their aligners or following instructions than teenagers.
So even though the biological timeline is slower, the actual treatment often moves faster because of compliance.
Both groups can use any treatment option—braces, aligners, or combinations of both.
The choice comes down to your specific bite problem and what matters to you most.
Do You Actually Need Orthodontic Treatment, or Is This Just Cosmetic?
Real question worth asking.
Some bite issues are purely cosmetic—a gap between your front teeth, slight crowding that doesn't affect chewing or speaking.
Other issues are functional—your bite is off, which means you're chewing unevenly, putting strain on your jaw, or setting yourself up for problems down the road.
The difference matters because it affects treatment urgency and what your insurance covers.
Functional bite issues (overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowding that affects chewing) are usually covered at least partially by insurance.
Cosmetic-only stuff is almost always out-of-pocket.
Our smile assessment quiz helps you figure out where you stand.
Or just book a free consultation and let us tell you straight up what we see.
How Long Does Treatment Actually Take?
This is the question everyone wants answered, and the answer is: it depends.
Here's a rough breakdown based on what we see at SMILE-FX:
Mild spacing or crowding with clear aligners: 4 to 6 months.
Moderate spacing or crowding with clear aligners: 6 to 9 months.
Moderate to severe crowding or bite issues with braces: 18 to 24 months.
Complex bite problems or jaw misalignment: 24 to 30 months.
Simple night-time aligner cases: 6 to 12 months.
That's the real timeline.
Anyone promising 3-month Invisalign for a severely crowded mouth is lying.
Your teeth don't move that fast safely.
The dentist practices that rush treatment end up with people coming back a year later with relapsed teeth and wasted money.
We move as fast as your teeth can safely move.
That's why our patients keep their results.
What Happens After Treatment? Do You Really Get Free Retainers?
Yes, actually.
After we finish moving your teeth, you need retainers.
This is non-negotiable.
Your teeth want to go back to where they started—it's just biology.
Retainers hold them in place while your gums and bone stabilize around the new position.
Most practices charge $300 to $600 for retainers after treatment.
We include them free with aligner treatment.
That's a massive difference.
You get at least a year's worth of retainer use included, and we'll remake them if they get worn down.
For braces patients, retainers are an additional cost, but we offer payment plans to make it manageable.
Insurance and Payment Plans: Making Treatment Affordable
Orthodontics costs money—let's be real about that.
Most insurance plans cover 25% to 50% of orthodontic treatment if it's considered functionally necessary.
Cosmetic-only treatment usually gets zero coverage.
Our office takes most major insurance plans.
We also offer zero-interest payment plans, which means you can spread the cost over 12, 24, or even 36 months with no interest.
That makes orthodontics way more affordable than people think.
Instead of paying $5,000 upfront, you're paying $150 to $300 per month.
For a lot of families, that's the difference between getting treatment and skipping it.

Insurance Coverage for Braces and Aligners: What South Florida Families Actually Need to Know
Here's the thing nobody tells you about orthodontics: insurance coverage is confusing as hell.
You call your insurance company, get put on hold for 20 minutes, then get told something that contradicts what the website said.
Then you call an orthodontist near me and they give you a different answer.
By the time you're done, you have zero idea whether your braces or Invisalign are covered.
Let me cut through the noise.
I'm going to walk you through exactly how insurance works with orthodontia, what gets covered, what doesn't, and what you can actually do about it.
Does Insurance Cover Braces? The Real Answer
Most dental insurance plans cover orthodontics.
But and this is a big but, they usually only cover it if it's considered medically necessary, not purely cosmetic.
So what makes something necessary versus cosmetic?
Medically necessary means your bite actually affects how you chew, speak, or function.
It means you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or crowding that creates real problems.
Cosmetic is when your teeth are slightly off but everything works fine functionally.
Insurance companies lean hard into this distinction because they're paying for it.
If your bite is off and you need treatment, your plan probably covers 25 to 50 percent.
If it's just spacing that bothers you but doesn't affect anything, they'll deny it.
That's why the first step is getting a real assessment from a board certified orthodontist South Florida who understands insurance language.
At SMILE-FX, we deal with insurance every single day.
We know which claims get approved and which ones get rejected.
We also know how to write up your treatment plan in a way that gets the best coverage possible.
What's the Typical Coverage Percentage?
If your plan covers orthodontics, here's what you're typically looking at.
Most plans cover 25 to 50 percent of the total cost.
Some hit 75 percent, but that's rare.
A few bottom-tier plans cover nothing at all.
The plan also usually comes with a lifetime maximum.
This is the total amount they'll ever pay for any orthodontic care in your lifetime.
Common maximums are $1,500 to $2,500.
So if your treatment costs $5,000 and your plan covers 50 percent with a $2,000 lifetime max, you're paying $3,000 out of pocket and they're paying $2,000.
That's the math.
Here's where it gets interesting though.
If you already used part of your orthodontic benefit on braces as a kid, that counts against your lifetime maximum.
We've had patients come in thinking they could get Invisalign at age 35, then find out they already hit their lifetime max from braces they got at 14.
So the first thing you do is call your insurance and ask three specific questions.
One: do they cover orthodontics at all.
Two: what percentage do they cover.
Three: what's my lifetime maximum and how much have I already used.
Write the answers down.
Seriously, write them down.
You'll need them.
Traditional Braces Versus Invisalign: Which One Does Insurance Actually Cover?
This is where things get spicy.
Insurance almost always covers traditional braces.
Invisalign and clear aligners?
Hit or miss.
Some plans cover them as long as they're for functional bite correction.
Others refuse to cover them at all and only cover metal braces.
The insurance logic is that metal braces are the "standard" treatment, so that's what they'll pay for.
Anything else is considered a premium option.
Now here's the reality: Invisalign costs about the same as braces, sometimes less depending on the case.
But insurance sees it as an upgrade, so they'll cover braces and make you pay out of pocket for the aligner upgrade.
That's why a lot of families end up choosing braces even though they wanted Invisalign.
It's not that they prefer metal braces.
It's that insurance is basically forcing their hand.
Our job is to make it so you're not stuck with that choice.
Check out our Invisalign options and clear aligner options so you know what's available.
Then we'll work with insurance to get you the best coverage possible.
How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost Without Insurance?
People ask this all the time.
They want to know if insurance is even worth figuring out or if they should just pay cash.
Here's the range for South Florida.
Traditional metal braces: $3,500 to $6,500.
Ceramic braces: $4,000 to $7,000.
Self-ligating braces: $4,500 to $7,500.
Invisalign or clear aligners: $3,500 to $7,000.
The cost depends on how complex your case is and how long treatment takes.
A simple spacing issue might run $3,500.
A severe crowding case with bite correction could hit $7,000 or more.
That's why getting assessed matters.
You can't know the cost until someone actually looks at your teeth and designs a plan.
Now, if insurance covers 40 percent and your case costs $5,000, they pay $2,000 and you pay $3,000.
That's a real difference.
But if your plan has a lifetime max of $1,500, the math changes.
They pay $1,500, you pay $3,500.
Insurance helping or not depends on your specific plan.
This is why we go through it with you before treatment starts.
No surprises.
What About Payment Plans? Can You Finance Braces Without Insurance?
Yes, and this is a game changer for most families.
We offer zero-interest financing through third-party lenders.
That means you can break the cost into monthly payments without paying extra interest.
Instead of $5,000 upfront, you're paying $200 a month for 24 months.
For a lot of families, that's doable.
We also work with patients who have insurance.
Insurance pays their portion, you pay the deductible upfront, then we finance the rest at zero percent interest.
It all ends up on your monthly budget instead of hitting you like a truck.
The key is getting your insurance benefits figured out first, then plugging in a payment plan.
That's how we make affordable braces actually happen.
Pre-Treatment Visits, Deductibles, and Hidden Costs
Insurance companies love making things complicated.
Most plans require you to pay a deductible before they'll cover anything.
Your deductible might be $50 or $500.
That's what you owe out of pocket before insurance kicks in.
Some plans also count pre-treatment visits and X-rays toward your deductible.
Others don't.
We do free initial consultations with 3D scans, so you're not paying for that first visit.
But once we start treatment, some of those early costs might hit your deductible.
That's why we break down exactly what insurance will and won't cover before you start.
You'll know going in.
No surprises two months into treatment.
Age Limits: Does Insurance Cover Braces for Adults?
Some plans only cover orthodontics for kids and teens.
Others cover adults too, but at a lower percentage.
This is stupid because adults need orthodontics just as much as kids do, but that's how insurance thinks.
If you're over 18, your plan might say no coverage for orthodontics at all.
Or it might cover you but at 25 percent instead of 50 percent.
You have to ask specifically.
Don't assume your plan doesn't cover you as an adult until you've talked to insurance directly.
We help adult patients navigate this all the time.
Our patient reviews show adults getting treatment approved that they thought wouldn't be covered.
Sometimes it takes knowing how to ask the right questions.
Employer Plans Versus Individual Plans: What's the Difference?
If you have orthodontics through your employer, coverage is usually better.
Employer plans tend to cover 25 to 50 percent with reasonable lifetime maximums.
Individual plans you buy yourself often cover less or have stricter limits.
If you have a choice between employer coverage and individual coverage, employer wins every time for orthodontics.
Also, if you're changing jobs, that's something to think about.
Starting treatment right before you lose insurance might leave you stuck paying the rest out of pocket.
Planning timing around your insurance coverage actually matters.
The Case for Paying Out of Pocket Even With Insurance
Sometimes paying full price gets you a better deal than using insurance.
Here's why.
When insurance gets involved, the orthodontist has to bill them, which takes time.
Some practices charge less if you pay cash upfront because they're not waiting around for insurance checks.
At SMILE-FX, we give discounts for cash payments.
So if your insurance benefit is small, sometimes it's cheaper to pay full price cash and get the discount than to go through insurance.
It sounds backwards, but do the math.
Insurance covers $1,200 of a $5,000 plan, you pay $3,800.
Or insurance doesn't apply, you get a 10 percent cash discount, you pay $4,500.
Cash is cheaper in that scenario.
This is worth discussing with us before you commit.
We'll run the numbers both ways and show you which option actually saves you money.
How SMILE-FX Handles Insurance for You
Look, dealing with insurance is annoying.
Our office does it so you don't have to waste time on hold.
We verify your benefits before you even start treatment.
We submit your treatment plan to insurance for pre-approval.
We handle all the paperwork and appeals if something gets rejected.
You just focus on getting your smile straight.
We handle the insurance headache.
That's why families across Broward County and from Miami to Palm Beach pick us.
We're not just a top rated orthodontist, we're practical about getting you the best financial deal possible.
Real Talk: Should You Wait for Better Insurance Coverage?
Some people ask if they should hold off on treatment until they switch jobs and get better insurance.
The answer is usually no.
Waiting costs you.
If your kid needs braces at 14 and you wait until they're 16 hoping insurance improves, their teeth get worse and treatment takes longer.
Crowding gets more severe.
Bite issues compound.
You end up paying more for a harder case than you would have upfront.
Start treatment when it makes sense, not when insurance is "perfect."
We'll find financing to make it work.
That's what affordable braces and Invisalign is all about.
The best time to get treatment is now, with the insurance you have.
