Why Patients Choose Beauchamp Dental for Orthodontic Care in Doral
When you search for orthodontics Doral FL, you'll find no shortage of options.

We also offer same-day consultations, so you get a clear answer about your treatment path without waiting weeks for an appointment slot to open up. Because your treatment is planned and monitored in our office, from your first digital scan to your final aligner, you won't need to travel between offices along the way.
Orthodontic Services We Offer
Our orthodontic care covers the full path from first impression to finished smile, including the aligner treatment itself and the everyday maintenance that keeps results in place.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays to gradually shift your teeth into place, without brackets or wires. It's a popular choice for adults and teens who want effective teeth straightening with fewer changes to daily life. If you already have dental work, Invisalign can isolate tooth movements around existing restorations, including veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants. Learn more about Invisalign and how it works at our practice.
Digital Impressions with iTero
Instead of the old putty trays, we use the iTero scanner to capture a precise digital model of your teeth in minutes. Compared with traditional impressions, it's faster, more comfortable, and more precise, and it gives our doctors a detailed view for planning your aligner treatment.

How Clear Aligners Compare to Traditional Braces
Many patients ask how clear aligners compare to the braces they remember. Here's how they differ on the factors patients ask about most.
| Feature | Clear Aligners | Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Nearly invisible, removable trays | Visible metal or ceramic brackets |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic, minimal irritation | May cause soreness after adjustments |
| Treatment duration | Typically 3-18 months for the cases we accept; not necessarily shorter than braces | Typically 12-24 months, varies by complexity |
| Maintenance | Remove to eat and clean, requires discipline to wear consistently | Fixed in place, requires careful brushing around brackets |
| Cost range | Based on the treatment guarantee period, not case complexity | Varies by case |
| Candidacy | Best for mild to moderate misalignment | Handles a wider range of cases, including severe misalignment |
Our practice focuses on Invisalign for teeth straightening. During your consultation, our doctors will evaluate whether Invisalign is a good fit for your teeth and goals, and if your case calls for a different approach, we'll tell you so and explain your options.
What Happens If You Delay Orthodontic Treatment?
Waiting on orthodontic treatment isn't an emergency, but it's worth understanding what tends to happen over time. Misalignment can gradually worsen, making teeth harder to clean and more prone to uneven wear. Bite problems left unaddressed can put extra strain on your jaw joints, and crowded teeth can make it harder to keep gums healthy between cleanings. We're not here to pressure you into a decision. Our job is to explain what we see and let you decide when the timing is right for you.

Flexible Financing Options

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics in Doral
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Most teens and adults with crowding, gaps, or mild to moderate bite misalignment are candidates for Invisalign clear aligners. The right fit depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and how consistently you can wear your aligners. Our doctors evaluate your teeth and bite during a consultation and let you know whether Invisalign makes sense for you.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
For the cases we accept, Invisalign treatment typically takes about 3 to 18 months, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Clear aligners don't necessarily finish faster than braces would. Your doctor will give you a personalized estimate after reviewing your digital impressions and bite. Staying consistent with wear time affects how closely you stay on track.
Do you offer Invisalign for teens and adults?
Yes. Invisalign works well for teens and adults, including adults exploring a straighter smile later in life. Treatment plans are built around each patient's stage of dental development, and our team will let you know the right time to start and whether Invisalign fits your or your teen's needs.
