Ortega Orthodontics

5.0(503)·9.4 km from Jacksonville Downtown
89Smyleee

#2, 5435, Ortega Boulevard, Southwest, Jacksonville, Florida

Closed · Opens today at 7:30 AM

Orthodontics sits alongside Braces and Invisalign on this Jacksonville clinic's documented service list.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Ortega Orthodontics on Ortega Boulevard sits in the historic Ortega neighborhood — one of Jacksonville's older established residential districts on the west side of the St. Johns River, south of Riverside. The practice is a dedicated orthodontic office covering braces, Invisalign, and clear-aligner cases for kids, teens, and adults rather than a general dental practice that adds orthodontics on the side. The shape fits Ortega and Riverside-area families who want a neighborhood orthodontist rather than driving across town to Southside or Mandarin. Services include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment work, Invisalign clear-aligner treatment for teens and adults, and post-treatment retention with retainers. The practice also handles early-intervention orthodontics for kids whose general dentists have flagged eruption-pattern concerns before the permanent dentition fully comes in. If you're an Ortega or Avondale parent whose kid's general dentist has flagged crowding at a recent checkup, this is the orthodontic practice in the same neighborhood you already use for routine care. Pricing fits the standard Jacksonville orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases — useful given orthodontic treatment's typical 18-24 month stretch. It suits families with multiple kids whose orthodontic timelines stagger across several years, and works for adults considering Invisalign as a first orthodontic case in adulthood rather than as a teenager. First visits typically begin with imaging, photographs, and a comprehensive orthodontic consultation covering treatment options, projected duration, and full cost — usually scheduled before any active treatment begins.

3457, Hendricks Avenue, South Riverside, Jacksonville, Florida

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Orthodontics is listed here alongside Braces and Invisalign among 3 documented services in Jacksonville.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Dopazo Orthodontics on Hendricks Avenue sits in the South Riverside / San Marco corridor — the residential and small-business belt south of downtown Jacksonville along the St. Johns River. The practice is a dedicated orthodontic office covering braces, Invisalign, ceramic braces, and clear-aligner cases for the whole family rather than a general dental office that adds orthodontics on the side. The shape fits San Marco and Hendricks Avenue area residents who want orthodontic care without the cross-town commute to Southside or Mandarin. Services include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment, Invisalign clear-aligner treatment for teens and adults, and post-treatment retainer maintenance. The practice also handles teen Invisalign cases with clear-aligner systems specifically designed for younger patients whose compliance pattern suits a removable rather than fixed appliance. If you live in San Marco or the South Riverside neighborhood and want an orthodontist a few blocks rather than a few miles from home, this is the kind of neighborhood practice that fits the bill. Pricing fits the standard Jacksonville orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases. First visits typically include orthodontic imaging, diagnostic records, and a comprehensive consultation covering treatment options, projected duration, and full cost before any active treatment begins.

2, 8708, Perimeter Park Boulevard, Secret Cove, Jacksonville, Florida

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Documented orthodontics profile in Jacksonville, pairing Braces and Invisalign across 3 services on file.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Rice Orthodontics on Perimeter Park Boulevard sits near Southpoint, in the cluster of office parks that anchors much of southeast Jacksonville's professional and medical traffic. The shape fits Southside, Deerwood, and St. Johns corridor families wanting orthodontic care close to where they already work or run errands. Services span traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment, Invisalign clear-aligner cases for teens and adults, and post-treatment retention with retainers. The practice also handles adult Invisalign cases for patients who skipped braces as kids or are managing alignment relapse from prior treatment — increasingly common among working adults wanting a discreet alignment option. If you work in the Southpoint or Deerwood office cluster and want an orthodontist whose office is in the same commercial corridor as your job, this is a sensible neighborhood practice to consider. Pricing fits the standard Jacksonville orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases.

Jacksonville Orthodontics

4.5(198)·7.5 km from Jacksonville Downtown
79Smyleee

A, 1190, Edgewood Avenue West, Northside, Jacksonville, Florida

Closed · Opens today at 7:30 AM

This Jacksonville clinic covers Orthodontics, Braces, and Invisalign within its 3-service documented list.

More about orthodontics at this clinic

Jacksonville Orthodontics on Edgewood Avenue West sits in the Murray Hill / Northside corridor west of downtown — a residential and small-commercial belt that serves a different catchment than the Southside-heavy practices farther east. The clinic is a dedicated orthodontic office covering braces, Invisalign, and clear-aligner cases for kids, teens, and adults. The shape fits north and west Jacksonville families who want orthodontic care closer to home than the Southside or Mandarin offices typically offer. Services span traditional metal braces, ceramic braces for less-visible alignment work, Invisalign clear-aligner cases for teens and adults, and post-treatment retainer maintenance. If you live in Murray Hill, Northside, or the broader west-Jacksonville corridor and don't want to commute to Southside for orthodontic visits across the next 18 months, this is the kind of neighborhood practice that fits. Pricing sits in the standard Jacksonville orthodontic range, with monthly payment plans typical for both braces and Invisalign cases. It suits families on the west side of town with kids needing orthodontic work spaced across several years, and works for adults wanting an experienced clear-aligner practice rather than a brand-new office still building case volume. First visits typically begin with orthodontic imaging, diagnostic records, and a thorough consultation covering treatment options, projected duration, and full cost before any active treatment begins.

How to Choose a Dentist in Jacksonville

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 3, 2026Independently reviewed

Orthodontic specialists in Jacksonville — ABO Diplomate and board-eligible orthodontists — serve a patient market with one of the most significant Tricare orthodontic benefit patient populations in the southeastern United States. The Tricare orthodontic benefit for active-duty dependents covers comprehensive orthodontic treatment up to a substantial plan maximum, creating a financially-accessible orthodontic pathway for the large NAS Jacksonville and Mayport dependent community that represents a substantial patient segment for Jacksonville orthodontic practices. The Jacksonville ABO Diplomate community is concentrated in the Southside and Mandarin corridors, and the practices with the Tricare billing infrastructure and the military family patient experience to manage the three-year treatment cycle across a family that may transfer to another installation mid-treatment are the ones that the military community most specifically needs.

Smyleee evaluated Jacksonville orthodontic specialists on ABO Diplomate or residency-trained board-eligible credentials, Tricare orthodontic billing capability and military transfer record management, direct attending orthodontist supervision model, adult and complex comprehensive case capability, and patient outcome consistency for correction stability. These ten Jacksonville practices are the orthodontists the data confirmed as most reliably serving both the substantial military dependent and the civilian patient communities across Northeast Florida's largest orthodontic market.
