Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Orthodontic Services
At Freeman Orthodontics, we help Lauderdale-by-the-Sea residents achieve confident, healthy smiles with personalized treatment options like braces and Invisalign
Traditional Braces
Braces remain a gold-standard treatment for teens and adults in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea who want lasting results. With either metal or ceramic options, we provide comfortable, efficient care using modern techniques to guide your smile into perfect alignment — even for complex bite issues.
Invisalign (Clear Aligners)
Clear aligners like Invisalign are an ideal solution for many Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. The aligners are virtually invisible and easy to remove, making them a great choice for professionals, teens, or anyone looking for a low-profile alternative to braces.
Clear Braces
Prefer a more subtle treatment? Clear braces made from ceramic materials blend seamlessly with your teeth, offering strength and aesthetics in one. They’re perfect for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients who want the benefits of braces with a less noticeable appearance.
Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
After orthodontic treatment, we provide customized retainer solutions to help maintain your beautiful results. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients receive ongoing care and guidance from our team, ensuring their orthodontic investment lasts a lifetime.
Orthodontic Surgery
For patients requiring surgical support, Dr. Freeman works closely with oral surgery specialists to deliver comprehensive care plans. This ensures Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients with complex alignment needs receive the highest level of treatment precision and support.
