More about braces at this clinic

Dr. Yazji Orthodontics specializes in braces and orthodontics, the clinical specialty focused on correcting dental and jaw alignment through controlled forces applied to teeth over time. The "Brickell" location designation suggests this may be part of a multi-location practice — a branded orthodontic platform with locations serving different Miami-area communities from a single specialist provider network. Braces in their conventional metal, ceramic, and clear-aligner forms offer a range of visibility and comfort profiles for different patient preferences. A Brickell orthodontic specialist who offers both traditional and aligner-based treatment gives patients the option to match their treatment approach to their professional and social context.

Kiddos Pediatric Dentistry

8319, West Flagler Street, Miami, Florida(nearby)

Closed · Opens Monday at 9 AM

Braces focus in Miami, with braces listed among 5 documented services — just outside Fort Lauderdale proper.

Read full description

West Flagler Street at 8319, Miami FL 33144, is in the Flagami neighborhood's commercial strip — a few blocks east of Florida Dental Clinic at 8260 W Flagler and the Fernandez Dental Office at 8080 W Flagler, and a few blocks west of Mancia Orthodontics at 8370 W Flagler. This stretch of W Flagler in ZIP 33144 has emerged as a minor dental corridor, with multiple practices serving the surrounding Flagami residential community from storefronts on the same major east-west arterial.

Kiddos Pediatric Dentistry is a specialist pediatric dental practice at this address, focused exclusively on children's dental care and supplemented by sedation dentistry capability. The practice name — Kiddos — communicates the child-friendly orientation immediately: this is a practice designed around the child patient experience from the environment to the communication approach to the clinical techniques used.

Pediatric dentistry as a specialty requires additional post-doctoral training beyond general dental school — two or three years of residency focused on treating children from infancy through adolescence, including patients with special healthcare needs. Pediatric dentists are trained in behavior management techniques that make dental visits accessible and positive for children who might otherwise develop dental fear that follows them into adulthood.

Sedation dentistry capacity at a pediatric practice is particularly significant: children with profound dental anxiety, special needs diagnoses, or complex treatment requirements may need sedation to receive care safely and humanely. The ability to provide oral sedation or nitrous oxide within the pediatric practice setting means families can access this level of care without a hospital referral, which dramatically simplifies the path to treatment for anxious young patients.

For families in Flagami, Westchester, and the surrounding communities of ZIP 33144 seeking a dedicated children's dental practice with sedation capability on the W Flagler commercial corridor, Kiddos Pediatric Dentistry at 8319 W Flagler Street serves that specialized need in the heart of the neighborhood.

More about braces at this clinic

A dedicated orthodontic practice brings specialist-level focus to alignment that a general dentist offering orthodontics as a secondary service cannot fully replicate. In a neighborhood as appearance-conscious and professionally image-aware as Brickell, orthodontic treatment is frequently sought for both functional and aesthetic reasons.

Dental Specialists of Doral Group

4.3(347)·45 km from Fort Lauderdale Downtown
80Smyleee

10666, Fontainebleau Boulevard, Miami, Florida(nearby)

Open until 3 PM

Documented for dental implants in Miami, with braces on the service list and 9 procedures on file — just outside Fort Lauderdale proper.

Read full description

Fontainebleau Boulevard at 10666, Miami FL 33172, is in the Doral-adjacent western Miami-Dade area — Fontainebleau Boulevard is a major east-west arterial in the western suburbs of Miami-Dade, running through the Fontainebleau neighborhood and the approaches to the City of Doral. ZIP 33172 covers this western Miami-Dade zone between the Florida Turnpike and the Doral municipal boundary, a suburban corridor of commercial and residential development serving the Doral, Sweetwater, and western Miami-Dade communities.

Dental Specialists of Doral Group at this Fontainebleau Boulevard address positions itself as a specialist group practice serving the Doral market — "Specialists" in the name signals clinical depth beyond general dentistry, and "Group" indicates a multi-provider structure that offers scheduling breadth and specialty access that a solo practice cannot match. The Doral market is a distinctive Miami-Dade demographic: a predominantly Venezuelan-American and South American professional community that has made Doral one of Florida's fastest-growing municipalities.

General dentistry is the listed service, which for a group practice with "Specialists" in the name likely serves as the entry point for a broader clinical scope that may include periodontics, orthodontics, implants, and other specialties not individually tagged in the database. Group practices that list general dentistry as their service category often encompass a wider clinical range than the single tag suggests.

Fontainebleau Boulevard at 10666 in ZIP 33172 is accessible by car from the surrounding Doral and Fontainebleau residential areas, by Florida Turnpike from broader Miami-Dade, and by the commercial grid connecting Doral's business parks and residential neighborhoods. The western Miami-Dade location serves a patient base that extends from Doral through Sweetwater and into the unincorporated western suburbs.

For patients in Doral, Fontainebleau, and the surrounding communities of ZIP 33172 seeking a multi-provider dental group practice on the Fontainebleau Boulevard corridor, Dental Specialists of Doral Group at 10666 Fontainebleau Boulevard provides that specialist-positioned group dental option in this rapidly growing western Miami-Dade community.

Fresh Dental Smiles

5.0(56)·40 km from Fort Lauderdale Downtown
86Smyleee

4565, Northwest 7th Street, Flagami, Miami, Florida(nearby)

Closed · Opens Monday at 9:30 AM

Miami clinic with a invisalign specialty — Braces is on file among 15 procedures — just outside Fort Lauderdale proper.

Read full description

Northwest 7th Street in Flagami at the 4565 address, ZIP 33126, is in a commercial strip running parallel to the more famous Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) a few blocks to the south. Fresh Dental Smiles operates from this Flagami address, serving the Cuban-American and Latin American working families of a neighborhood that extends from the western edge of the urban core toward Westchester and Sweetwater.

Fresh Dental Smiles offers one of the broader service menus for a Flagami neighborhood practice. General dentistry and family dental care form the foundation, serving patients from children through adults. Affordable dental care is an explicit commitment, reflecting the practical reality of the Flagami market where cost-effective access is a primary driver of provider selection.

Cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign clear aligner orthodontics address the aesthetic and alignment side of the practice's scope — allowing patients to pursue smile improvement without traveling to Brickell or Coral Gables for cosmetic-tier care. Wisdom teeth removal handles a procedure that working adults frequently defer due to cost or fear, and Fresh Dental Smiles providing this in-house avoids the need for a separate oral surgery referral for straightforward cases.

TMJ/TMD treatment for temporomandibular joint dysfunction addresses chronic jaw pain, clicking, and the headache and neck pain patterns that many patients don't associate with dental origin. Extractions and routine cleanings round out the clinical scope, covering the most common intervention needs alongside the cosmetic services.

The "Fresh" branding signals a modern, approachable practice identity — clean design and contemporary patient experience rather than the institutional feel of older strip-mall dental offices. On NW 7th Street in Flagami, where many dental practices have occupied the same storefronts for decades, a practice emphasizing freshness and modernity differentiates on the sensory and experiential dimension that patients notice as soon as they walk through the door.

How to Choose a Dentist in Fort Lauderdale

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Fort Lauderdale has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had braces work done across the Fort Lauderdale metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for braces in Fort Lauderdale, start here.
