Early Orthodontics for Kids Ages 6–10 in Miramar
Your kid is 7 years old. Their baby teeth are falling out. New ones are coming in at weird angles. And suddenly you're wondering: do they need braces now? Is this normal? Should I be worried?
That question keeps a lot of parents up at night.
The truth is simpler than you think. Most kids don't need braces at 7. But some do benefit from early orthodontic care that prevents bigger problems later. The trick is knowing which category your child falls into.
At SMILE-FX Orthodontics & Clear Aligner Studio in Miramar, we see this every single day. Parents bring their 6- to 10-year-olds in wondering if they're "behind" or if they need treatment. We take a straightforward look, explain what we see without the jargon, and tell you exactly what's next. No pressure. No selling you something you don't need.
This is what you need to know about early orthodontics for your elementary school kid.
What Exactly Is Phase 1 Orthodontics?
Phase 1, also called interceptive orthodontics, is early intervention during the years when your child is still growing.
It's not about perfect teeth at age 8. That would be silly.
Phase 1 is about:
- Making room for adult teeth that are coming in crowded
- Fixing bite problems that affect how the jaw grows
- Protecting teeth that stick out and could get knocked out on the playground
- Addressing habits like thumb sucking that actually change the shape of the jaw
- Creating the foundation so that braces later (if needed at all) take less time and work better
Think of it like straightening the path before the car gets bigger. Once your kid is a teenager and their jaw is done growing, the job gets harder and takes longer.
Phase 1 treatment might look like a palatal expander to widen the upper jaw. Or a few braces on the front teeth. Or a habit appliance to break thumb sucking. Rarely is it the full metal mouth gear you're picturing.
And here's the part that surprises most parents: most kids don't actually need Phase 1 treatment. That's why an evaluation at the right time matters so much.
Why Age 7 Is the Magic Number
The American Association of Orthodontists says every kid should see an orthodontist by age 7. Not because they'll definitely need braces, but because that's when we can actually see what's going on.
At age 7, your child has a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth. That's the sweet spot for spotting problems.
If there's a crossbite, we can see it. If the jaw is growing crooked, we can catch it. If there's going to be serious crowding, we can tell.
And here's why it matters: fixing these things at 7 or 8 is way easier and gentler than fixing them at 12 or 13. The bones are still soft. The teeth are easier to move. Growth is on your side.
But again, seeing us doesn't mean treatment starts tomorrow. We might just keep an eye on things. We might say "come back in a year." We might recommend something specific. The evaluation just gives you the real answer instead of you wondering.
Red Flags Parents Actually Notice
You don't need to be a dentist to see when something feels off. You live with your kid. You watch them eat. You see their smile every day.
Here's what to pay attention to:
Crowded or overlapping front teeth: The adult teeth are coming in on top of each other because there's not enough room. This usually means crowding will get worse, not better.
Crossbite: Top teeth bite inside the bottom teeth instead of outside. This means the upper jaw might be too narrow or positioned wrong. It actually affects how the face grows.
Open bite: Front teeth don't touch when the kid bites down. Usually from thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. Affects speech and chewing. Can get worse without intervention.
Teeth sticking way out: Those prominent front teeth look like easy targets. One playground trip and they're getting chipped or knocked out.
Mouth breathing, especially at night: Could signal airway or sinus issues. Could also mean the jaw isn't growing right. Worth getting checked.
Ongoing thumb sucking past age 4 or 5: At some point it stops being cute and starts changing the shape of the jaw and teeth position.
Snoring or restless sleep: Might be nothing. Might be connected to how the jaw and airway are developing. Worth mentioning at an orthodontic appointment.
Difficulty chewing: If the bite isn't lining up right, the teeth are doing uneven work. That wears things down and puts strain on the jaw.
See any of these? That's when you call. See none of them? Your kid probably doesn't need us yet. But a quick evaluation still tells you for sure.
When We Actually Say "Not Yet"
Here's what builds trust with us: we say "not yet" a lot.
Parents are shocked by this. They expect us to push treatment. We don't.
Mild crowding that might fix itself as more teeth come in? Not yet.
Baby teeth with normal spacing and a normal bite? Not yet.
Thumb sucking that already stopped with no bite damage? Not yet.
Early mixed dentition where we literally can't predict what's coming? Not yet. We'll check again in a year.
When we say "not yet," you go on a growth and guidance program. That means you come back once or twice a year. We measure growth. We watch eruption patterns. We catch changes early. And we start treatment at the right time, not just the earliest possible time.
You get certainty instead of guessing. We get accurate growth data. Your kid doesn't sit through months of unnecessary treatment.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
You probably picture a sterile dental office, your kid scared, you leaving more confused.
That's not how this works at SMILE-FX.
When you walk into our Miramar studio, you'll notice it looks nothing like a typical doctor's office. It's designed for kids and teens. Friendly staff. Lounge area. Snacks. Games. The whole vibe is welcoming.
For sensory-sensitive kids, we have weighted blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, VR options, and private VIP suites. We get it. New places are stressful for kids.
First, we take digital photos of the smile and bite. No impressions. No gagging. Just pictures.
Depending on what we need to see, we might take low-dose digital X-rays or CBCT scans. Modern imaging that uses minimal radiation but gives us crystal-clear 3D views of growing teeth and jawbones. We explain what we're doing and why before we do it.
Then one of our board-certified orthodontists sits down with you and your kid.
Not a general dentist. Not a technician. An actual specialist who spent 3+ years studying orthodontics after dental school.
We look at jaw growth. Bite alignment. Airway space. Habits that might be affecting development. Medical history. Everything that matters.
Then we show you the images and explain what we see. In plain English. No jargon.
You leave with one of three clear answers: "Everything looks great, see you next year." Or "We're watching this, come back in 6 months." Or "Here's a specific issue where early treatment makes sense, and here's what that looks like."
No same-day pressure. No push toward expensive treatment you don't need. Just clarity.
Why SMILE-FX Gets Chosen for Early Orthodontics
Parents in Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Cooper City, Davie, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale drive to us when they want the best early orthodontic care. Here's why.
Board-certified specialists, period. All our treatment is planned by orthodontists with specialty training. Not general dentists doing braces on the side. Not Invisalign mills. Actual specialists focused on jaw growth and facial development.
Trusted by pediatric dentists. The pediatric dentists across South Florida who see thousands of kids every year? They send their patients and their own kids to us. That doesn't happen by accident.
Real technology that matters. We use cutting-edge technology like 3D imaging and digital scans. Not for show. Because it makes care more accurate and more comfortable. And it combines with actual human connection. We know your kid's name. We remember their sport. We celebrate wins at every visit.
Scheduling that works for real families. We get that you're not driving across town on a whim. We offer after-school appointments. We coordinate around sports and activities. We use digital forms and text reminders to keep visits efficient.
The Common Phase 1 Treatment Tools
If your child does benefit from early treatment, here's what you might see.
Palatal expander: A device that slowly widens the upper jaw. Fixes crossbites and creates space for crowded teeth. Kids adapt faster than you'd think. We coach you through home turns. Works because the palate hasn't fused yet.
Limited braces: Braces on just the front teeth for a few months. Aligns them, reduces trauma risk, improves bite while growth is flexible. Not the full metal mouth. Just what's needed.
Space maintainers: Small appliances that hold space if a baby tooth comes out early. Prevents crowding and impacted teeth down the line.
Habit appliances: Gentle devices that break thumb sucking or tongue thrust habits without punishment or shame.
Phase 1 usually runs 9 to 18 months. Then we let more adult teeth come in. Later, often as a pre-teen or teen, Phase 2 with full braces or clear aligners fine-tunes everything. Total time is way shorter than if you'd waited and done it all at once.
Making Your Kid Feel Safe During Treatment
Most kids aren't excited about orthodontist visits. That's normal.
Our job is to make it tolerable, even good.
We explain things in language kids understand. We give them control where we can ("Tell us if you need a break"). We use TV shows and VR as distraction. We talk about what they care about, not what we care about. We walk them through everything before we do it, so no surprises.
When kids feel safe and respected, they cooperate. Treatment goes smoother. Outcomes are better.
Real Talk About Cost
Phase 1 treatment varies by case. Some kids just need monitoring. Some need a palatal expander. Some need limited braces. Each situation is different.
What we promise: transparent pricing, no surprise fees, and we maximize any orthodontic insurance benefits you have. We also work with real family budgets through flexible payment plans.
Most parents realize that when they understand the long-term value—avoiding extractions later, shorter teen treatment, fewer complex problems down the road—the cost question shifts. It's no longer "what's cheapest?" It becomes "where will my kid get the smartest, safest plan?"
Quick Questions Parents Actually Ask
Is it really worth driving to Miramar for early orthodontics? If your kid might need treatment for several years, you're choosing a long-term partner, not a one-time visit. Drive time becomes less relevant when you're going somewhere every 6 to 8 weeks and you trust the care completely.
Our pediatric dentist recommended an orthodontic evaluation. Should we wait until all adult teeth are in? No. Pediatric dentists refer around age 7 because problems like crossbites and severe crowding are gentler to fix early. An evaluation tells you if your kid needs treatment now or just monitoring.
We're in Cooper City or Davie. Can you work around school and sports? Yes. We schedule after-school appointments and coordinate around Broward school schedules and activities. We minimize missed class time.
What if we get a different opinion elsewhere? Get a second opinion. No judgment. We'll review other recommendations, show you your kid's images, and explain our thinking. You won't feel pressured. But after talking through it, most parents feel confident with us.

Your elementary school kid's smile is worth getting right.
What Happens After Phase 1: Orthodontic Treatment for Teens and the Path to a Confident Smile
Your kid finished Phase 1 treatment. The palatal expander came out. The front braces are gone. Their smile looks better already.
Now what?
This is where a lot of parents get confused. Phase 1 was about giving their jaw room to grow. Phase 2 is about perfecting the whole picture. It's the difference between laying a foundation and building the house.
Most kids move into Phase 2 around age 11 or 12, once more adult teeth have erupted. Some wait until age 13 or 14. It depends on what their growth looks like.
Here's what you need to know about what comes next in your teen's orthodontic journey.
Phase 2 Orthodontics: The Real Deal
Phase 2 is when we align every single tooth.
By this point, most or all of your kid's adult teeth are in. Their jaw has grown. We've been monitoring them since Phase 1 ended, watching eruption patterns and growth changes.
Now we have the full picture.
This is where traditional braces or clear aligners come in. We're not dealing with a small mouth with baby teeth. We're working with a nearly full-grown face and a complete set of adult teeth.
Phase 2 typically lasts 18 to 24 months. Sometimes longer if there was significant crowding or bite issues in Phase 1.
Because we handled the heavy lifting early, Phase 2 moves faster and works smoother than if we'd waited and tried to do everything at once.
That's the whole point of the two-phase approach.
Braces vs. Clear Aligners: Which Path for Your Teen?
This is the decision that keeps parents awake.
Metal braces work. They're reliable. They handle complex cases. Your teen will see results. Lots of kids still choose them because they work and cost less.
Clear aligners like Invisalign are different. They're nearly invisible. Your kid can eat normal food. They can brush and floss easily. They look like regular teeth the whole time.
The catch?
They only work if your teen wears them 22 hours a day. They need discipline. They need to remember to take them out before eating. They need to put them back in after every meal.
Some teens love this responsibility. Others lose the aligners in their backpack.
Here's the real talk: the best option is the one your teen will actually wear correctly. If they're going to take aligners out and forget about them, braces might be the better choice. If they're responsible and care about appearance, aligners could be perfect.
We talk through both at your consultation. We show examples. We let your teen have a say. Because they're the ones wearing it every day.
What to Expect During Phase 2 Treatment
Your kid comes in every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments.
For braces, we tighten wires and check brackets. For aligners, we swap out trays and track progress with our cutting-edge technology.
There might be some discomfort after appointments. That's normal. The teeth are moving. Over-the-counter pain relief handles it. Within a few days, they're back to normal.
Food restrictions exist with braces. Popcorn. Nuts. Sticky candy. Whole apples. Your teen learns the list fast.
With aligners, they take them out to eat anything they want. No restrictions.
Oral hygiene matters more now. With braces, cleaning takes longer because they have to brush around brackets and wires. With aligners, they brush normally, then pop the aligners back in.
Both require commitment. Both deliver results when patients follow through.
Real Results: What Changes Between Phase 1 and Phase 2
In Phase 1, we made room. We fixed crossbites. We addressed growth issues.
In Phase 2, we're finessing bite precision. We're aligning every tooth so they sit exactly right. We're creating that Hollywood smile your kid is hoping for.
Crowding disappears. Overbite or underbite gets corrected. Spacing closes. The bite becomes functional and beautiful.
Some teens notice their whole face looks different. That's because a better bite actually changes how their face looks from the side. Their profile improves.
By the end of Phase 2, your kid goes from worrying about their smile to feeling proud of it.
That shift in confidence is real. Parents see it all the time.
After Braces or Aligners Come Off: Retention
Here's what nobody talks about enough: the stuff that happens after treatment.
Once we remove braces or your kid stops wearing aligners, the teeth want to move back.
This is called relapse. It's biology. The teeth know where they used to be.
That's why retention is non-negotiable.
Your teen wears a retainer every single night for life. No exceptions.
Some retainers are fixed wires bonded behind the teeth. Some are removable trays they put in before bed. Most kids do a combination of both.
It sounds like a lot. And it is. But compared to wearing braces for two years, putting in a retainer at night is nothing.
The kids who skip retainers end up back in our chair five years later asking if we can fix the relapse. It's always cheaper and easier to prevent it in the first place.
Why Teens Need a Different Approach Than Younger Kids
Teenagers are not little kids in bigger bodies.
They care about how they look at school. They're worried about fitting in. They're dealing with social pressure.
We get it. That's why we talk differently with teens.
We explain the science, but we also talk about what matters to them. Looking good at prom. Smiling confidently in photos. Not being self-conscious.
We give them choices. Braces or aligners. Colored bands or clear brackets. Appointments after school or during lunch.
We treat them like the almost-adults they are, not like kids.
Teens respond better when they feel respected and heard. Treatment sticks better. They show up. They follow instructions. They get better results.
The Cost Reality for Phase 2
Phase 2 treatment costs vary.
If your kid already did Phase 1 with us, Phase 2 costs less than if they're starting from scratch at age 12 or 13.
That's one of the hidden benefits of early treatment. The total cost for two phases is often lower than doing one comprehensive treatment later.
Insurance sometimes covers Phase 2. Sometimes it doesn't. We work with your benefits and show you exactly what your coverage includes.
Payment plans are flexible. We work with real budgets. We're not here to put families in financial stress.
What we promise: no surprise bills. No hidden fees. Transparent pricing from the start.
Common Questions About Teen Orthodontics
Can my teen play sports with braces?
Yes. They wear a mouthguard like any other athlete. We recommend a custom mouthguard that fits over braces better than stock ones.
What if my teen gets hit in the mouth playing sports?
Call us. We can usually fix any damage in one visit. Brackets come off sometimes. Wires bend. It's fixable. Don't panic.
Can teens play musical instruments with braces or aligners?
Braces take adjustment. Brass players might feel it more than others. It's temporary. Most adapt within a few weeks. With aligners, they take them out to play, so no issue there.
How often do we need to come in?
Every 6 to 8 weeks for Phase 2. That's eight to ten appointments over 18 to 24 months. We schedule around school and activities.
Will my teen's teeth get stained with braces?
Only if they don't brush well. If they skip brushing around brackets, plaque builds up and leaves marks. Good oral hygiene prevents this.
The Role of Board-Certified Specialists in Teen Treatment
Not all orthodontists are the same.
A board-certified orthodontist spent three or more years after dental school studying how to move teeth and guide facial growth.
That matters. A lot.
They know how to handle complex cases. They understand bite mechanics. They can spot problems other practitioners miss. They get results faster because they know what they're doing.
Your teen deserves that level of expertise. They're wearing something on their teeth or in their mouth for two years. They might as well get someone who's spent years perfecting the craft.
Teen Orthodontics and Self-Confidence
Here's what we see every single day.
A 12-year-old comes in self-conscious about their smile. They don't want to smile in photos. They avoid opening their mouth in class.
Two years later, they walk out beaming. They post photos on social media. They smile without thinking.
That transformation is not about vanity. It's about feeling like themselves.
When your teeth don't stress you out, you have room to just be a teenager. You focus on friends and school and what you're actually interested in instead of how your smile looks.
The confidence boost is real. Parents see it. Teens feel it. Teachers notice it.
We're not just straightening teeth. We're helping your kid feel at home in their own mouth.

Adult Orthodontics: Getting the Smile You've Always Wanted in South Florida
You're an adult. You've got a job, maybe a family, definitely a mortgage. And somewhere in there, you've been thinking about your teeth.
Maybe you never got braces as a kid. Maybe your teeth shifted after braces came off years ago. Maybe you just decided now is the time to stop hiding your smile in photos.
Here's what stops most adults: you think it's too late, it'll take forever, or you'll look ridiculous with braces.
None of that is true anymore.
The best orthodontist for adults in South Florida will tell you the same thing we do at SMILE-FX: adult orthodontics has changed completely in the last decade.
You can get affordable braces in Miramar, Broward, and West Palm Beach that actually fit your life.
You can get clear aligners that are nearly invisible so nobody at work even knows you're doing this.
You can get the smile you've been putting off without turning your mouth into a construction zone.
Why More Adults Are Choosing Orthodontics Right Now
Something shifted.
Used to be, orthodontics was for kids. Teens got braces. Adults kept their crooked teeth and moved on.
Not anymore.
More adults are choosing orthodontic treatment in Miami and South Florida than ever before.
Why?
Because they realized their teeth affect how they feel about themselves every single day.
That means avoiding smiling in photos. That means being self-conscious in meetings. That means feeling less confident than you should.
Life is long. Your teeth are with you the whole time. So are a lot of adults deciding that spending 18 to 24 months getting them straight is worth it.
Plus, the technology is better. The options are better. The whole experience is better.
Clear Aligners vs. Braces for Adults: The Real Difference
When people ask about clear aligners cost in Miami or how much traditional braces near me run, they're usually trying to figure out which one is right.
Let me break it down.
Clear aligners like Invisalign: You wear custom plastic trays that move your teeth gradually. They're nearly invisible. You take them out to eat and drink whatever you want. You brush your teeth normally. Nobody at work knows you're doing this.
The catch is discipline. You need to wear them 22 hours a day. You need to remember to take them out before eating. You need to put them back in after every meal. If you're the type of person who loses their phone constantly, this might not be your thing.
Traditional braces: Metal brackets and wires on your teeth. They work on every case. They're often cheaper than aligners. You can't lose them. You come in every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments.
The trade-off is visibility. Everybody knows you're doing it. Food restrictions apply. Cleaning your teeth takes longer. But they're reliable and they work.
Here's what most top-rated orthodontists in Miramar will tell you: pick the one you'll actually stick with.
A patient who wears aligners 18 hours a day gets worse results than a patient who wears braces every single day. Consistency beats the fancier option every time.
How Much Does Adult Orthodontics Actually Cost?
This is the real question.
People search for affordable braces South Florida and $0 down braces financing in South Florida because they want to know if this is actually possible for their budget.
The answer is yes, but it depends on your case.
Simple cases run cheaper. Complex bite issues run more. Clear aligners cost in Miami can be higher than traditional braces, but not always.
Here's what matters: most insurance plans cover a portion of adult orthodontics. Check your plan. Some cover 50 percent. Some cover nothing. Some have a yearly max.
At SMILE-FX, we work with your insurance to maximize your benefits.
We also offer flexible payment plans so you're not choosing between your teeth and your rent.
We have $0 down braces financing options and break costs into monthly payments that actually work for real people.
That's not a sales trick. That's just how we run.
Does Insurance Cover Braces for Adults?
The short answer: sometimes.
Most dental insurance plans cover orthodontics for kids under 18. Adult coverage is spotty.
Some plans cover 50 percent. Some cover a specific dollar amount like $1,500 and you pay the rest. Some don't cover it at all.
The only way to know for sure is to call your insurance and ask.
When you come in for a consultation, bring your insurance card. We'll check your benefits before we start anything. No surprises.
Even if your insurance doesn't cover it, we have payment options that make it work.
The Real Timeline for Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Most adults think orthodontics takes three or four years.
That's outdated thinking.
With modern techniques and technology, most top-rated orthodontist treatments near me take 18 to 24 months.
Some cases take less. Some take a bit more. But you're not looking at years and years of treatment.
That's why more adults are doing this now. It's not this massive time commitment anymore.
You spend less than two years getting the smile you've wanted your whole adult life.
That math works.
Why Being a Board-Certified Orthodontist Actually Matters for Complex Cases
Here's something most people don't know.
Not everyone who does braces is an orthodontist.
Some general dentists do braces. They took a course. They have some experience. They can handle straightforward cases.
A board-certified orthodontist went to dental school, then spent three to four more years studying nothing but how to move teeth and guide facial growth.
That matters a ton when you're an adult with a complex case.
Maybe your bite is off in multiple ways. Maybe you've had previous dental work that complicates things. Maybe you want results that are actually beautiful, not just straight.
That's when you want someone who's spent years mastering the craft.
SMILE-FX uses board-certified specialists for all cases. We don't have general dentists doing braces on the side.
Your treatment is planned and executed by someone who knows what they're doing at the highest level.
Adult Orthodontics and Your Oral Health
Straight teeth aren't just pretty.
They're easier to clean. You get fewer cavities. Your bite is more efficient, which means less wear and tear on your teeth over time. Your jaw works better, which means fewer headaches and jaw pain.
You're not just getting cosmetic work. You're investing in the health of your mouth for the next 20, 30, 40 years.
That's worth getting right.
What to Expect at Your First Adult Orthodontic Consultation
You come in. We take digital photos and 3D images of your teeth and jaw.
A board-certified orthodontist sits down with you and explains what we see. Not in dental jargon. In plain English.
We talk about your goals. Not what we think you should do. What you actually want.
We show you options. Braces, clear aligners, Invisalign, whatever makes sense for your case and your life.
We talk timing and cost.
You walk out knowing exactly what's involved. No pressure. No upsell.
That's it.
Adult Orthodontics at Work: Will Anyone Notice?
You're worried about showing up to work Monday morning with braces on.
Fair concern.
Here's your options:
Go with clear aligners or Invisalign and literally nobody knows. You eat lunch without them. You brush your teeth. You pop them back in. That's it.
Go with clear ceramic braces instead of metal brackets and they blend with your teeth way more than metal ones. You still see them, but it's subtle.
Go with metal braces and own it. Plenty of adults do. You'd be surprised how many people don't care or think it's cool that you're taking care of yourself.
The point is you have options. Pick the one that feels right for you.
