Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your office from Lake Buena Vista?
Our Davenport practice sits roughly 20 to 25 miles southwest of Lake Buena Vista, with a typical drive time of 25 to 35 minutes via I-4 and US-27. Parking is free and easy to access. Many Lake Buena Vista patients tell us the drive is worth it for the friendly care and treatment options they receive.
What is the best age for my child’s first orthodontic visit?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic check by age 7. By this age, enough permanent teeth have come in for our orthodontists to spot issues like crowding, crossbites, or jaw growth concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early orthodontics, but it lets us monitor your child’s growth and step in at the right time.
Do you offer Invisalign for teens and adults?
Yes. Shannon Orthodontics is an Invisalign Provider, and we treat both teen and adult patients with clear aligners. Invisalign offers a discreet way to straighten your smile without metal braces. During your complimentary new patient exam, our orthodontists will let you know if Invisalign is a good match for your case.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though some cases finish sooner and others run a bit longer. Your starting bite, the type of treatment you choose, and how closely you follow care instructions all affect the timeline. At your first visit, our orthodontists give you a custom timeline based on your needs.
What should I do in an orthodontic emergency?
Call our practice at 863-353-6867 right away if you have a broken bracket, a poking wire, or significant discomfort. Most orthodontic issues are not true emergencies, but we’ll get you in quickly to fix the problem. For minor irritation, orthodontic wax over a sharp spot can help until your appointment.
