Modern Braces Options in Jacksonville Beach & Nocatee/Ponte Vedra
A beautiful smile starts with choosing the treatment that's right for you.
At Lazzara Orthodontics, we offer several orthodontic treatment options for kids, teens, and adults, including discreet clear braces, metal braces, and clear aligners.
During your complimentary consultation, our ABO-Board Certified orthodontists will evaluate your smile, explain your options, and help you choose the treatment that fits you best.
Clear Braces
Clarity™ ADVANCED ceramic braces blend naturally with your smile while providing the same trusted tooth movement as traditional braces.
They’re a popular choice among teens and adults who want a more discreet treatment option without sacrificing results.
Clear braces offer an excellent balance of aesthetics, comfort, and effectiveness.
Metal Braces
Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before.
Made from durable, high-quality materials, metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct everything from minor alignment concerns to more complex bite issues.
For many children and teens, colorful bands also provide a fun way to personalize their smile throughout treatment.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a flexible, nearly invisible alternative to braces.
At Lazzara Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign®, Angel Aligner™, Clarity™, and Spark™ aligners for kids, teens, and adults.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll help determine which aligner system is the best fit for your smile, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Because aligners are removable, they make it easy to enjoy your favorite foods, brush and floss normally, and maintain your everyday routine throughout treatment.

FAQs About Braces & Clear Aligners
How much do braces cost?
Because every smile is different, the cost of braces varies from patient to patient. Factors such as treatment complexity, insurance coverage, and the type of braces selected all play a role.
Many patients use a combination of insurance benefits and financing to make treatment fit comfortably within their budget.
Depending on your insurance plan, out-of-pocket costs may range from approximately $1,500-$4,000, though every case is unique.
We accept most PPO insurance plans, offer interest-free in-house financing, and have down payment options starting as low as $400.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll verify your insurance benefits, explain all costs, and walk you through your payment options so you’ll know exactly what to expect before making any decisions.
How long do braces take to straighten teeth?
The length of braces treatment depends on your smile, your treatment goals, and the complexity of the corrections being made.
Most patients wear braces for approximately 12-24 months, though some cases may be completed more quickly, while others require additional time.
Factors such as age, crowding, spacing, bite alignment, and overall treatment needs all play a role in determining your timeline.
At Lazzara Orthodontics, our Board Certified orthodontists use advanced digital technology to plan precise tooth movement and create an efficient treatment experience.
During your complimentary consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and provide a personalized estimate of how long treatment is likely to take.
How do braces straighten teeth?
Braces straighten teeth by applying gentle, controlled pressure that gradually guides them into better alignment over time.
Using a combination of brackets and wires, braces help correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues while creating a healthier, more balanced smile.
Throughout treatment, your orthodontist will make adjustments to keep your teeth moving according to your personalized treatment plan.
Because braces are fixed to your teeth, they work around the clock, making them an effective option for many orthodontic concerns.
