FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens at the initial consultation?

Dr. Cardenas performs a thorough examination and puts together a personalized treatment plan built around your oral health goals. The consultation is free.

Why is orthodontic treatment needed?

Treatment corrects "bad bites" (malocclusion) — crowded, spaced, or misaligned teeth, or jaws that don't line up properly. These issues can be inherited or can result from injury, early or late tooth loss, or habits like thumb sucking.

When is the ideal time to start treatment?

Interceptive orthodontics for children can begin as early as ages 6–7, while teeth and jaws are still developing. Certain problems, like crowding, are often easier to address at that stage. Teens and adults can start successful treatment at any age.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on the complexity of your case. Some treatments finish in as little as six months; others take longer. You'll receive a clear timeline as part of your personalized plan.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept most dental insurance plans. Call our office at 305-275-1094 and we'll review your benefits and confirm eligibility with you.

What payment options do you offer?

We offer flexible in-house payment plans and 0% financing options, because we don't want cost to keep anyone from the treatment they need. Call our office for details.
