More about orthodontics at this clinic

Mancia Orthodontics Miami - Invisalign & Clear Braces is a specialist orthodontic practice at Suite 230, focused exclusively on teeth alignment through orthodontic appliances. The practice name explicitly signals the full scope: traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligner systems, covering the two primary modalities in contemporary orthodontics. The "clear braces" language extends to ceramic brackets and lingual orthodontic options that provide straighter-teeth outcomes with less visible hardware. Invisalign clear aligners have become the dominant patient-requested orthodontic modality for adult patients, who often prioritize aesthetics during treatment. Traditional braces remain the preferred modality for complex cases and for adolescent patients where compliance with removable aligners can be challenging.

More about orthodontics 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.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

The "Main Street" brand positions the chain as accessible and neighborhood-oriented — a practice that serves the everyday dental and orthodontic needs of children and families rather than presenting as a clinical specialty center. The combination of pediatric dental care and orthodontics under one roof means a child can transition from routine preventive care to braces or Invisalign treatment without changing practices as they grow. Orthodontics for children and adolescents addresses the developmental alignment issues — crowding, crossbite, overbite, spacing — that are most effectively treated during the growth years when the jaw is still developing. Early orthodontic intervention can reduce the complexity of treatment needed in adulthood and can address spacing issues before all permanent teeth erupt.

1190, 4300, Alton Road, Nautilus, Miami Beach, Florida(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8:30 AM

Miami Beach practice known for orthodontics, with Orthodontics among 20 documented procedures — just outside Fort Lauderdale proper.

Read full description

Alton Road at 4300, Suite 1190, Nautilus, Miami Beach FL 33140, is in the mid-section of Miami Beach's Alton Road corridor in the Nautilus neighborhood — on the same major street as Main Street Children's Dentistry at 4308 Alton Road (applied earlier), Lopez Alexander DDS at 1235 Alton Road, and Isidoros Mereos DDS at 1315 Alton Road. This stretch of Alton Road in the Nautilus section runs between the South Beach (33139) and the North Beach (33141) communities, serving the mid-beach residential population from a professional building at this address.

Ressler, Hirschl & Lelchuk DDS PA is a three-named-dentist partnership practice — one of the more formal multi-dentist group structures in the Miami Beach dental market, operating under a professional association. The three-dentist structure suggests a long-standing partnership with deep patient loyalty across the practice's history, where patients have seen multiple members of the group across different life stages and procedures.

The service menu at this Alton Road partnership practice is among the most comprehensive for a Miami Beach group practice: affordable care, cosmetic dentistry, crowns and bridges, dental bonding, cleanings, implants, emergency dentistry, extractions, family dental care, general dentistry, gum disease treatment, Invisalign, oral cancer screening, orthodontics, prosthetics, root canal treatment, TMJ/TMD management, tooth decay treatment, and veneers. This near-complete scope of dental services allows the three-dentist team to handle virtually all patient needs without external referral.

The inclusion of TMJ/TMD treatment, oral cancer screening, orthodontics, and prosthetics alongside the standard general dentistry scope reflects the combined clinical backgrounds of three dentists, whose aggregate training and experience covers a broader range than any single generalist could offer. Emergency dentistry ensures acute presentations can be addressed without directing an established patient to an unfamiliar facility.

For patients in Nautilus and the surrounding Miami Beach communities of ZIP 33140 seeking a comprehensive multi-dentist partnership practice with near-complete in-house dental scope on the Alton Road corridor, Ressler, Hirschl & Lelchuk DDS PA at Suite 1190, 4300 Alton Road, provides that established multi-provider destination.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives.

Roth Steven E. DMD

5.0(1)·39 km from Fort Lauderdale Downtown
69Smyleee

138, Northeast 2nd Avenue, Downtown Miami, Miami, Florida(nearby)

Closing soon · 6 PM

Orthodontics anchors this Miami clinic's documented catalog, joined by Braces and Invisalign across 10 services — just outside Fort Lauderdale proper.

Read full description

Northeast 2nd Avenue at 138, Downtown Miami FL 33132, is in the northern downtown core of Miami — a cross-street in the Park West and Overtown-adjacent zone where NE 2nd Avenue runs through a neighborhood undergoing significant transformation. ZIP 33132 covers this northern downtown area where Relax and Smile Dental Care (271 NE 2nd Street, applied in this shard) is also located — the two downtown practices are on parallel streets in the same northern downtown ZIP, a short distance from each other.

Dr. Steven E. Roth, DMD, operates a cosmetic and restorative dental practice from this downtown address. Unlike most general practices in this database, Dr. Roth's service menu is exclusively cosmetic and restorative, without a listed general dentistry component: dental bonding, dental crowns, dental implants, Invisalign clear aligners, dental bridges, and teeth whitening form the complete listed scope.

This cosmetic-restorative focus — crowns, bridges, implants, bonding, whitening, and Invisalign — represents the full toolkit of smile improvement: replacing missing teeth through implants or bridges, restoring compromised teeth through crowns, closing gaps and repairing chips through bonding, correcting alignment through Invisalign, and brightening through whitening. Patients who choose Dr. Roth's practice are seeking aesthetic transformation or structural restoration rather than routine maintenance care.

In the downtown Miami market, where the patient population includes entertainment-adjacent professionals, financial sector workers, and the urban residents of the rapidly developing downtown core, cosmetic and restorative services aligned with appearance investment resonate with a clientele that prioritizes personal brand and professional appearance. Downtown Miami's cosmopolitan, international character also means patients from multiple cultural backgrounds who value cosmetic dental work as a personal investment.

For patients in downtown Miami and the surrounding communities of ZIP 33132 seeking a cosmetic and restorative dental practice focused on appearance-optimizing treatments, Dr. Steven Roth DMD at 138 NE 2nd Avenue provides that specialized cosmetic focus in the northern downtown corridor.

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.

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 orthodontist in Fort Lauderdale, start here.
