About Orthodontics in Westchase and South Tampa, FL
A straight, healthy smile is more than just an aesthetic improvement—it enhances your bite, improves oral health, and boosts your confidence. At Goodnight Orthodontics, Dr. Goodnight and Dr. Mathews offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment using both braces and Invisalign® to help patients achieve beautifully aligned teeth and a functional bite.
Tailored Solutions for Every Smile
Orthodontic treatment works by gradually moving your teeth into their ideal positions. We offer two primary treatment options:
- Braces: Traditional braces consist of brackets and wires that are adjusted at each visit to guide teeth into proper alignment. With our advanced Empower® self-ligating braces, adjustments are more efficient, and patients only need appointments every six to eight weeks.
- Invisalign®: The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to shift teeth into place. Patients change aligners every one to two weeks and typically visit our office once every ten to 12 weeks for progress checks. As a Diamond-level Invisalign provider, we have extensive experience in treating a wide range of cases with clear aligners.
What to Expect: Treatment Time and Cost
Every smile is unique, and so is every orthodontic journey. During your complimentary consultation, we will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and provide an estimated treatment timeline.
- Treatment Duration: Most orthodontic cases take between 12 to 18 months, though simpler cases can be completed in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take up to two years.
- Cost Factors: The cost of treatment varies based on the complexity and duration of the case. We offer flexible payment options to make achieving your dream smile accessible.
A Conservative and Patient-Focused Approach
We believe in honest, patient-centered care. Unlike some practices that recommend early (Phase 1) treatment for most children, we only suggest it when truly necessary. Studies show that only 25-30% of young patients need early intervention, and we adhere to this guideline to ensure that treatment is both appropriate and effective.
At Goodnight Orthodontics, we treat every patient like a member of our own family, always prioritizing long-term oral health and well-being.
Experience and Expertise You Can Trust
Dr. Goodnight has been treating patients in the Tampa Bay area for more than 20 years, bringing decades of experience and expertise in orthodontics. Whether you choose braces or Invisalign, you can trust that you’re in capable hands, receiving the highest level of orthodontic care available.
