Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much do braces cost in Brevard County?
The cost of braces varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic treatment. At Barlow & Benfield Orthodontics, we use a tiered fee system based on the individual needs of each patient, so you only pay for the level of treatment required to achieve your best smile.
Factors that affect the cost of braces include the severity of tooth alignment issues, bite correction needs, treatment length, and the type of orthodontic treatment recommended.
During your complimentary orthodontic consultation, Dr. Barlow or Dr. Benfield will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss your treatment options, and provide a clear explanation of all costs before treatment begins. We also offer flexible payment options to make orthodontic care affordable for children, teens, and adults throughout Merritt Island, Titusville, and Brevard County.
What age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
By this age most children have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, allowing an orthodontist to identify potential concerns with jaw growth, bite development, tooth eruption, and crowding before they become difficult to treat.
It's important to know that an orthodontic evaluation at age 7 does not necessarily mean your child will need braces right away. In fact, many children simply benefit from periodic monitoring as they continue to grow and develop.
At Barlow & Benfield Orthodontics, we carefully evaluate each child's smile and growth pattern to determine the ideal timing for treatment. If your child is around age 7 or older, schedule a complimentary orthodontic consultation at our Merritt Island or Titusville office to ensure their smile is developing properly.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on the complexity of each case. Some patients may complete treatment in as little as several months, while others may require a longer treatment period to achieve optimal results. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Barlow or Dr. Benfield will discuss your estimated treatment timeline and create a personalized plan designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
Do you offer Invisalign or Clear Aligners in Merritt Island and Titusville?
While we do not provide Invisalign®, Barlow & Benfield Orthodontics offers advanced clear aligner treatment designed to straighten teeth discreetly and effectively.
Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces for many adults. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Barlow or Dr. Benfield will evaluate your smile and determine whether clear aligners, braces, or another orthodontic treatment option is the best fit for your goals.
If you're searching for clear aligners in Merritt Island, Titusville, or anywhere in Brevard County, our team can help you explore your options and create a personalized treatment plan.
