Getting Started with Orthodontic Services
At Miami Lakes Orthodontics, our mission is to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! The cost of braces is, in many instances, the biggest obstacle people face when considering whether or not to seek orthodontic treatment. For this reason, we offer a wide variety of payment options, which allow us to help our patients meet their financial needs. Please ask us about financing options, credit card payments, and bank drafts. We thoroughly explain your options so that we can accommodate your needs.
Miami Lakes Orthodontics believes that financial considerations should not obstruct your beautiful smile. At your initial examination, our treatment coordinator will discuss in detail the specific cost of orthodontic treatment. Due to the variety of patient’s needs and treatment options, the cost of orthodontic care varies from patient to patient. Being sensitive to the financial aspect of treatment, our practice:
- Applies discounts for teachers, firefighters, police officers, and military, as well as for full payment at the start of treatment or additional family members undergoing orthodontic treatment with Dr. Briceño Crespi
- Accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express
- Offers in-house payment options with no finance or interest charges. With this option, an initial payment is due at the start of treatment, with the balance paid in monthly installments extending over the treatment time.
- Provides outside financing through Care Credit which offers plans with no down payment and no interest payments for up to 24 months.
- If you have orthodontic coverage in your dental insurance, it may help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontic insurance benefits have a maximum lifetime amount that is separate from regular dental insurance. Please bring your insurance information with you to your first complimentary visit, and we will be happy to verify your coverage.

3 Key Steps To Having Success With Invisalign
Every day millions of teens and adults look in the mirror and are unhappy with their smiles. A person’s smile is their most basic form of positive expression and is vital to having self-confidence. If you cannot smile confidently and find yourself hiding your smile in conversations and pictures, you are handicapping yourself in your daily life. With so many options for orthodontic treatment, there is no longer any reason for you to continue living your life not being confident in your smile. Today I will focus on viral therapy for teens and adults: Invisalign and Invisalign Teen.
Three key steps to having success with Invisalign and Invisalign Teen:
1) Choose the very best doctor for your treatment.
The #1 thing you can do to make sure that you are making the right decision for your Invisalign treatment is to choose the best doctor to consult, prescribe and treat you with your Invisalign. Make sure that they are a board-certified orthodontic specialist. These are the most highly skilled and trained doctors in the world, and they will give you the best opportunity for success. Also, do your research. Read reviews, speak with actual patients, visit the office, and make sure that this is where you feel comfortable.
2) Make sure that the results you want are realistic with Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign is an excellent treatment to fix several issues, such as crowding or gaps, but it is not a magical treatment that can fix everything. Make sure you are very clear with your orthodontist on what results you want. Suppose you will not be happy after spending the time and money on your Invisalign treatment. In that case, it is much better to figure that out during the initial consultation with the orthodontist and not after 12-24 months!
3) Compliance. You must be willing to do your part, or Invisalign will not work.
Know yourself and commit to the treatment before you start the treatment. Make sure that the Invisalign treatment plan is something you are willing to comply with, or you will waste your time and money. You will be able to take off your aligners, which makes Invisalign great, but it can be a double-edged sword if you do not put them back on after you eat and brush. Most adults do not have issues with this, but if you know that you will not wear them and that you will most likely keep them in your pocket, then ask the orthodontist to show you different options for your treatment.
