Achieve a Straighter Smile With Braces in Jacksonville
Braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct crowded, crooked, or gapped teeth. By applying gentle, steady pressure over time, they guide your teeth into a healthier position — improving not just how your smile looks, but how well your teeth function every day. At Dental Center of Jacksonville, our team makes the process comfortable and straightforward, from your first consultation to the day your braces come off.
Your care is in experienced hands. Braces at our practice are provided by Dr. Shreya Iyengar, the orthodontist at Dental Center of Jacksonville. With a Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics, residency training at Jacksonville University, and years of experience treating both extraction and non-extraction cases, Dr. Iyengar has the specialized background to plan even complex treatment with confidence. From your first consultation to the day your braces come off, she uses modern imaging — including digital X-rays and 3-D cone beam scanning — to guide your teeth into place with precision.
Choosing braces can bring real benefits to your smile and your health:
- Straighter teeth that are easier to brush and floss
- A more balanced bite that reduces uneven wear
- Greater confidence in your appearance
- Correction of crowding, spacing, and alignment concerns
- Long-lasting results when paired with a retainer

Explore Your Braces Options
Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than many people expect. During your consultation, Dr. Iyengar will examine your teeth and recommend the approach that best fits your smile and your lifestyle:
- Traditional Braces – Durable metal brackets and wires offer a proven way to treat a wide range of alignment concerns, including more complex cases.
- Clear Braces – Tooth-colored or ceramic brackets blend in with your natural teeth, offering a more subtle look while still delivering dependable results.
Braces aren’t the only way to straighten your smile — if you’d prefer a removable, nearly invisible option, ask us about clear aligners as an alternative. Throughout your treatment, we’ll keep you comfortable with a welcoming environment that includes soft pillows, warm blankets, and TVs, and our team is here to answer questions and make every adjustment feel easy.
“Straightening teeth is about more than appearance — a well-aligned bite protects your teeth for years to come. As an orthodontist, what I enjoy most is seeing how a new smile changes the way patients carry themselves.” — Dr. Iyengar

Common Questions About Braces
-
You may feel some soreness or pressure for a few days after braces are placed or adjusted, which is completely normal. Any discomfort is usually mild and eases quickly, and over-the-counter pain relief can help.
-
Treatment time depends on your specific case. Cosmetic cases may take several months, while more comprehensive treatment can take longer. Dr. Iyengar will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation.
-
Neither is better for everyone. Braces can address a wider range of complex cases, while clear aligners offer more discretion. We’ll help you weigh the options based on your goals.
-
It’s best to limit hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage brackets or wires — think caramel, popcorn, and hard candy. We’ll give you a full list to keep your treatment on track.
-
Brushing after meals and flossing daily is important, and special tools like floss threaders can help you clean around brackets and wires. We’ll show you the best techniques.
