Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to correct dental alignment. This proven method effectively treats complex bite issues and crooked teeth. Our modern design features smaller, more comfortable brackets for improved patient experience.
Clear/Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer discreet orthodontic treatment with tooth-colored brackets. These braces provide the same effectiveness as metal braces while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Ideal for image-conscious patients seeking subtle correction.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces straighten teeth from the back surface, remaining completely invisible. Custom-fitted to each patient, this option combines effectiveness with discretion. Perfect for professionals and image-sensitive individuals requiring comprehensive treatment.
Phase I Pediatric Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluation identifies and addresses developing dental issues in children. Treatment between ages 7-10 creates proper space for permanent teeth. Prevents future complications and reduces need for extractions or surgery.
Orthodontic Emergencies
We provide prompt solutions for broken brackets, poking wires, and other orthodontic issues. Our emergency protocol ensures immediate guidance and same-day appointments when needed. Maintains treatment progress while resolving patient discomfort.

I can't say enough about Ortega Orthodontics. I had just started my treatment, and took a new job in Jacksonville. Prior to moving, I started researching new Orthodontist and found Ortega. Had no idea 'where' in Jacksonville the office was located, but knew I wanted to be a patient! Best decision....Dr. Holland and the entire team welcomed me; provided a thorough new patient appointment; a treatment plan and repositioned several of my brackets. Not once was I made to feel like I was a 'transfer'. The office was bright, extremely clean, and everyone was so personable.

I had a horrible experience with this provider. Dr. Holland retracted/pulled my teeth back and furthered narrowed my arches even after I stated several times before treatment began that I didn’t want any retraction or reduction of tongue space. He did exactly what I asked him not to do and then tried to convince me retraction wasn't happening during treatment.

Cannot say enough good things about Dr. Holland and Ortega Orthodontics! We moved to the Jacksonville area in the middle of my daughters orthodontic treatment. Dr. Holland was able to pick up right where our old doctor left off. We ended up with spectacular results! The office staff is wonderful and was very helpful when we changed insurance companies. The assistants are very professional and welcoming. We are very pleased with Ortega Orthodontics and would recommend them in heartbeat!
