 The Department of Orthodontics in the College of Dentistry
welcomes you to our clinics at the University of Florida.
We provide all types of orthodontic services for children, teenagers, and
adults including surgical and craniofacial anomaly treatment.
The Department provides two different
orthodontic clinics within the teaching facilities of the College to suit
each individual's needs:
1. Faculty
Associates Practice:
Each of the departmental orthodontists sees their own private patients in
this clinic. Any patient is eligible for treatment in this clinic. Fees are
based on the difficulty of the case and fee range estimates are discussed
with the patient at the initial screening appointment. Final fees are
established prior to the start of treatment after complete records are
taken and the orthodontist has written a complete treatment plan. In the
Faculty Associates Clinic, treatment can be initiated at anytime, a typical
appointment takes between 15-30 minutes, and morning or afternoon
appointments are available. To make a records appointment, call
352.392.4285.
2. Graduate
Clinic: Under the
direct supervision of one of the departmental orthodontists, our residents
treat all different levels of cases. Fees are reduced in the graduate
clinic since it is a teaching program and the patient should understand
that they will need to accommodate for some minor inconveniences. For
example:
-Date of receipt of deposit will determine the spot on the waiting list;
typically the waiting list can vary from 3-6 months. However, the list may
be longer or shorter depending on demand. Please understand that we try to
treat everyone as soon as possible.
-Appointments must be made with the assigned attending orthodontist. These
are on a certain half-day of the week and are not flexible.
-Appointments are generally about 1 hour long.
To reserve a position in the graduate
clinic, follow the instructions on the Graduate Program form.
Our clinic hours are Monday-Thursday, 8:00
AM-Noon, 1:00PM-5:00 PM
We are conveniently located in the
Dental Faculty Associates Practice on the 1st floor of the dental tower at
the Health Sciences
Center at the University of Florida.
