Esteem Dental & Orthodontics
Crooked teeth and misaligned bites don’t fix themselves — and waiting only makes treatment more involved. Whether you’re a parent noticing crowding in your child’s smile or an adult who has put off orthodontic care for years, the right time to act is now. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, an estimated 6.66 million patients are currently in active orthodontic treatment across the U.S., reflecting just how many families are making straighter, healthier smiles a priority. At Esteem Dental in Lake Nona, our team is here to help your family do the same — on your timeline and with the care you deserve.
Esteem Dental is a family dental practice serving the Lake Nona and Orlando area, where we bring together multiple dental specialties under one roof. Our compassionate team, led by Dr. Jordan Jones, treats patients of all ages — from young children just beginning to show signs of misalignment to adults ready to invest in a smile they can be proud of. When it comes to orthodontic care, you won’t need to be referred out or drive across town. We handle it all right here.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment and Who Needs It?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting the position of teeth and jaws. When teeth are crowded, spaced too far apart, or when the upper and lower jaws don’t align properly, orthodontic treatment works to guide everything into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing position. It’s one of the most common dental services people pursue, and for good reason — a well-aligned bite affects how you chew, speak, and care for your teeth day to day.
Many people assume orthodontics is only for teenagers, but that’s simply not the case. Nearly one in three orthodontic patients today is an adult, and the trend of adults seeking treatment for both functional and cosmetic reasons continues to grow. For children, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At that point, the jaw is still developing, which gives our team a valuable window to identify issues early and intervene before they become more complicated.
Signs You or Your Child May Need an Orthodontist
Not every misalignment announces itself clearly. Some of the more common signs that orthodontic treatment may be warranted include overcrowding of teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, a jaw that shifts or makes noise, thumb-sucking habits that have persisted past toddlerhood, teeth that meet abnormally or not at all, and early or late loss of baby teeth. If any of these apply to your child or to you, a consultation with our team is a natural first step. We take a thorough approach to every evaluation and are always upfront about what treatment, if any, would genuinely benefit you.
Orthodontic Services We Offer in Lake Nona
At Esteem Dental, we offer a range of orthodontic options designed to suit different ages, lifestyles, and treatment goals. For children who need early-phase guidance, we provide Phase 1 orthodontics, which uses appliances and partial treatment to help shape jaw development before all permanent teeth have come in. This type of early intervention can shorten or simplify comprehensive treatment later.
For patients ready for full orthodontic treatment, we offer traditional braces — a time-tested approach that allows for precise movement of teeth in more complex cases. We also offer Invisalign clear aligners, a discreet option that has become especially popular among adults and teens who prefer a less visible treatment path. Invisalign aligners are removable, which makes eating and maintaining oral hygiene more straightforward during treatment. During your consultation, our team will walk through which approach makes the most sense given your bite, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Teen Orthodontics and Adult Orthodontics
We understand that treatment needs aren’t the same at every stage of life. Teenagers are in a period of active jaw growth, making it an ideal time for comprehensive treatment with either braces or aligners. Adults, on the other hand, may be addressing issues they’ve had for decades — sometimes complicated by prior dental work, crowns, or missing teeth. Our adult orthodontic services are designed with these nuances in mind, and we take the time to build a plan that reflects your full dental history and long-term goals.
Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Member of Your Family
From preventive checkups to complete smile makeovers, our experienced team provides personalized care in a welcoming environment.
Insurance and Financing for Orthodontic Treatment
We know cost is often one of the first questions families have about orthodontic care, and we believe in being straightforward about it. Esteem Dental accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Cigna PPO, Delta Dental, UnitedHealthcare PPO, and Medicare. We also offer flexible financing options through lending partners to help spread the cost of treatment over time.
If you’re unsure what your plan covers for orthodontics, our team can help you sort through the details before treatment begins so there are no surprises. The goal is to make sure the financial side of things is as clear as the path to your new smile.
