Find the Right Orthodontic Treatment in Jacksonville
A straighter smile does more than look good — it can make brushing easier, help your bite work the way it should, and give you the confidence to smile freely. The team at Dental Center of Jacksonville offers a range of orthodontic options for children, teens, and adults, all in one convenient location and tailored to your goals, timeline, and comfort.
Orthodontic care at our practice is led by our orthodontist, Dr. Shreya Iyengar. Dr. Iyengar holds a Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, completed her orthodontic residency at Jacksonville University, and earned Membership in Orthodontics (MOrth) from the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow, bringing years of clinical experience treating orthodontic cases in the United States and India. She works alongside dentists Dr. Antal Barbela and Dr. Dipti Kanchan — who trained at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and the University of Saskatchewan, respectively — who provide clear aligner treatment with 3M Clarity Aligners. Together, the team combines modern technology with a patient-focused approach to help Jacksonville families of every age straighten their smiles.
Our orthodontic services include:
- Braces – A time-tested treatment that gradually guides teeth into a healthier, straighter position for lasting results.
- Clear Aligners – Discreet, removable aligners — including Invisalign, SureSmile, and 3M Clarity — that straighten teeth without metal braces.
- Adult Braces – Discreet options designed to fit your lifestyle, proving it’s never too late to love your smile.
- Early Orthodontic Treatment – Gentle, well-timed care that guides your child’s developing smile and can simplify treatment later.
- Retainers – Custom-made appliances that protect your results and keep your teeth from drifting out of place.
Whatever path is right for you — braces, clear aligners, or care for your child’s developing smile — our team will walk you through every option so you can choose with confidence.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

Treatment time varies from person to person based on your specific needs. Some clear aligner cases finish in a matter of months, while more involved cases take longer. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate.
