Do we travel to a different office for records or adjustments?

No. Caldas Orthodontics has one location at 2575 Glades Cir, Suite 2, Weston, FL 33327. Consultation, records, adjustments and retainer checks all happen there.

When should a child from Davie first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check no later than age 7. That visit is a screening of growth, eruption and the developing bite. Many children are simply monitored at that age rather than treated.

Can two children in the same family be evaluated together?

Yes, both children can be evaluated, and treatment can run at different times depending on what each child needs. When you call, mention that siblings need appointments so the schedule can be planned around it.

Is Invisalign realistic for a teenager who plays sport?

Aligners come out for games and practices, so sport itself is not the obstacle. What matters is whether your teenager will wear them consistently and keep track of the aligners. Braces remain the more predictable choice when wear time is likely to be uneven.

What happens if a retainer is lost or stops fitting?

Call the office rather than waiting for the next appointment. Retainers protect alignment after active treatment, and a lost or ill-fitting retainer is easier to address before the teeth have moved. We also have guidance on retainer care.

Areas We Serve

Orthodontic Care for Davie Families

Braces, clear aligners and early evaluations for children, teens and adults, planned and delivered at our Weston office.

Davie, Florida

Care for a Community That Stays

Davie is the kind of town where families settle in and stay put. That has a quiet effect on how orthodontic care should be planned. The question is rarely only how to straighten these teeth now, but what this smile will need over the next decade, including from the next child in line.

Davie is one of the communities we welcome to our Weston office. Whether you are bringing a seven-year-old for a first look, a teenager who needs a plan before high school, or yourself after years of meaning to ask, the recommendation starts with the bite rather than with an appliance.

Treatment Options

Braces, Aligners and the Question of Timing

These are the four conversations that come up most often with Davie families. They are not interchangeable, and the right answer depends on the bite, the age and how much responsibility the wearer is ready to carry.

Braces that keep working

Fixed braces move teeth continuously between visits, which suits children and teens whose weeks are already full. Cleaning around them takes attention and the appliance must be protected, but remembering to put something back in is not part of the routine.

Invisalign for teens and adults

Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible in photographs and comfortable enough for a full school day. They ask for consistent wear, which tends to work when the person wearing them wanted the option in the first place.

A first look at the right time

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check no later than age seven. An evaluation is not the same as starting treatment. Sometimes the answer is to watch growth and eruption and see the child again later.

Interceptive orthodontics

Care for children and teens

Appointments, appliance choices and instructions are planned around school, sport and activities, and around how much independence a young patient is ready for. Parents stay part of the conversation.

Children & Teen Orthodontics

Adults are welcome at any point. If your teeth have shifted since earlier braces, adult orthodontics is a reasonable place to begin. Adult orthodontics

Your Consultation

What the First Visit at Our Weston Office Involves

Every consultation follows the same careful sequence, whether the patient is six or sixty. Nothing is decided before the examination, and nothing begins before your questions are answered.

The conversation

We start with what brought you in: what you have noticed, what you hope could change, and anything a dentist has already mentioned. For a child, that conversation includes the parent.

The examination

Dr. Caldas examines the teeth, the bite and how the jaws relate. For younger patients, eruption and growth are part of that assessment.

Records, when they are needed

Photographs, imaging or a scan may be taken so the orthodontic picture is documented rather than estimated, and so movement can be planned and measured.

A clear explanation

You hear what treatment could address, which options fit your case, and what the alternatives are, including monitoring. You leave understanding the recommendation and its reasoning.

If you would rather not book an appointment yet, the free smile consultation is a lighter first step: send three photographs, Dr. Caldas reviews them, and we reply with clear next steps.

Visiting the Practice

One Location, Every Appointment

Because the practice keeps one office, the orthodontist who evaluates your child is the same person at every adjustment and at the retainer check at the end. Families with more than one child in treatment do not have to explain the history twice.
