Braces and Invisalign in St. Augustine
Metal braces
Modern metal braces are a reliable option for many children, teens, and adults. Dr. Podray-Donovan creates an individualized plan based on each patient’s teeth, bite, growth, and goals. Learn more about metal braces.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored components for patients who prefer a less noticeable fixed treatment option. Explore ceramic braces.
Invisalign clear aligners
Invisalign uses a planned series of removable clear aligners. An orthodontic evaluation can determine whether aligners or braces are better suited to a patient’s clinical needs and preferences. Learn about Invisalign at Welltide.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, making them hidden from the front. Learn about lingual braces.
Early orthodontic treatment
An early evaluation allows an orthodontist to observe how a child’s teeth and jaws are developing. An evaluation does not always mean treatment must begin right away; monitoring growth may be the appropriate next step. Learn about early orthodontic treatment.
Retainers
Retainers help preserve tooth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. The right retainer and wear schedule depend on the individual plan. Explore orthodontic retainers.
Orthodontics for every stage of life
Welltide welcomes children, teens, and adults. Treatment recommendations are based on individual needs rather than age alone.
