The Orthodontist Mount Dora Families Keep Coming Back To
Dr. Robert Ogden finished his orthodontic residency at the University of Florida in 1994 and opened his first office in Clermont that same year. The Mount Dora office followed in 2006, which is long enough that parents who wore braces in this practice now bring in their own kids, and long enough to know that the right answer at a consultation is sometimes not yet.
Our office sits on North Donnelly Street, about a mile north of downtown Mount Dora, close to the schools rather than out on the highway. You will see the same doctor at every visit, at whichever of our three offices fits your week, because Dr. Ogden is the only orthodontist here and intends to keep it that way.
Meet Dr. Robert Ogden
Dr. Ogden grew up in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, where a good experience with his own family orthodontist pointed him toward the profession. He earned his DDS from Case Western Reserve University in 1991, then completed the three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, finishing in 1994.
He opened his first office in Clermont in 1994, added Windermere in 1995, and brought the practice to Mount Dora in 2006. He is a member in good standing of:
- American Association of Orthodontists
- Florida Association of Orthodontists
- American Dental Association
- Florida Dental Association
Patients tend to describe the same two things in reviews: he explains everything before he does it, and he does not start treatment a child does not need yet.
Braces, Aligners, and Honest Advice About Which One
Every option below is available at the Mount Dora office. Which one fits depends on your bite, your age, and your patience for rubber bands, and Dr. Ogden will tell you plainly which he would choose for his own family.
Traditional Metal Braces
Still the workhorse for complicated bites and for kids who would lose a removable aligner by Tuesday. Smaller and more comfortable than the ones parents remember.
Explore bracesClear Braces
The same mechanics as metal with brackets that blend into the tooth. A frequent pick for teens and adults who want fixed treatment without the flash.

Removable, nearly invisible, and effective for many bites when worn as prescribed. Dr. Ogden will tell you honestly whether yours is one of them.

Brackets printed for your teeth specifically, which typically means fewer visits and shorter appointments. Useful when your drive to Donnelly Street is not a short one.

A first check around age seven, per AAO guidance. Usually the visit ends with a growth plan and no hardware. Monitoring visits are free.

Crowding that returned, a bite that never got fixed, or teeth you have quietly wanted to straighten for twenty years. It is not too late, and you will not be the only adult in the chair.
