What Sets Ogden Orthodontics Apart

Choosing an orthodontist usually means guessing at two things nobody will tell you plainly: who is actually going to treat you, and what it is going to cost.

Here the answer to both is the same every time. Dr. Robert Ogden is the only orthodontist at Ogden Orthodontics, so he plans your treatment and sees it through at all three offices. The fees are published on this site, before you ever sit in a chair.

Three offices, in Clermont, Windermere and Mount Dora. One orthodontist. One price you can read before you call.

РАЗНИЦА ОГДЕНА

One orthodontist, start to finish

Dr. Robert Ogden is the only orthodontist at this practice, and he has been since 1994.

The person who reads your x-rays is the person who builds your plan, the person who adjusts it when teeth move differently than expected, and the person who checks your retainer two years later.

You are not handed between providers, and you never have to explain your history to someone new.

In a group practice, the doctor you meet at the consultation is often not the doctor you see at your appointments. Here there is only one answer to that question.

An orthodontic specialist, not a general dentist

Every orthodontist is a dentist. Not every dentist is an orthodontist.

Dr. Ogden earned his dental degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1991, then completed the orthodontic residency at the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1994.

Moving teeth and correcting bites is what that training is for, and it is the only work this practice does.

A straight answer first, then you decide

Most people arrive carrying a question they have not said out loud. Do I actually need this. Is my child too young. Is it too late for me at forty-three.

Dr. Ogden answers plainly, including when the answer is that treatment can wait, or is not needed at all.

When treatment does make sense, you leave the first visit knowing what is wrong, what fixing it involves, how long it should take, and what it costs. In writing.

Nothing starts until you say so.

The fees are on the website

Orthodontic pricing is usually a number you cannot get without booking a consultation first. That is the part patients complain about more than the cost itself.

So the fees are published here.

Braces, metal or clear ceramic$4,550
Invisalign Touch-Up$2,495
Invisalign Comprehensive$4,895

The same fees apply at all three offices. Down payments start at $300 and in-house financing is 0% interest. These figures are before insurance, so with benefits your cost may be lower.

Insurance, financing and discounts

Treatment gets paid for in a way that fits the household.

In-house payment plans run at 0% interest, with the down payment and the monthly figure agreed before anything starts.

Insurance claims are filed for you. The practice works with Delta Dental, DeltaCare USA, Cigna, MetLife, United Healthcare, Ameritas and The Standard, and the front desk will tell you what your plan pays toward orthodontics before you commit.

Military discounts are offered to those who have served. Preferred Employer Discounts are available to employees of a select group of local companies, so it is worth asking whether yours is on the list.

Most major credit cards are accepted.

Local and family owned since 1994

Ogden Orthodontics is not part of a group, a roll-up or a dental service organization. It is one family's practice, and it has been in Lake County since 1994.

Dr. Ogden and his team live in the communities they serve. That turns up in small things, like knowing the school calendars and which week in August everybody needs an appointment at once.

Three offices carry the same orthodontist and the same fees: Clermont, Windermere, and Mount Dora, which opened in 2006.

Technology aimed at the parts patients dislike

Digital scanning replaced the impression tray, so there is no mouthful of putty at the records appointment.

Where indirect bonding is used, brackets are positioned on a model first and placed in one pass. That cuts chair time and takes guesswork out of bracket position. It is not used on every case.

Self-ligating brackets hold the wire with a built-in clip rather than elastic ties.

LightForce 3D-printed braces are available for cases where custom brackets are the right call.

Three offices, one orthodontist

What people ask before they choose

Will I see Dr. Ogden at every appointment?

Yes. He is the only orthodontist at the practice and he covers all three offices. Assistants handle parts of a visit, and the clinical decisions are his.

What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist who offers braces?

An orthodontist is a dentist who completed a further residency in moving teeth and correcting bites, then does that work full time. Plenty of general dentists offer braces and aligners.

For a straightforward case either can work. For growth and bite problems, or for a case that has already been treated once, the specialist training carries more weight.

Why are your prices published when most practices will not give a number?

Because the fees do not change based on who is asking. Braces are $4,550 and Invisalign is $2,495 or $4,895 depending on the case, at all three offices.

The exam still decides which treatment you need and whether anything else is involved, and insurance can lower what you pay. The starting number is not a secret.

Is Ogden Orthodontics part of a larger dental group?

No. It is independently owned and family run, with Dr. Ogden as the sole orthodontist.

How long has the practice been in Central Florida?

Dr. Ogden has practiced orthodontics in Lake County since 1994. The Clermont office opened that year, Windermere in 1995, and Mount Dora in 2006.

You will meet Dr. Ogden, get a straight read on what your teeth need, and leave with a price in writing. If the answer is to wait six months, that is what he will tell you.
