Braces Near Wellington, FL

You already know you need braces — or your kid does. The hard part isn’t deciding to get treatment. It’s figuring out who to trust.

You’ve probably been doing your homework. Reading reviews, comparing websites, maybe even sitting through a consultation or two. 

And you’re still not 100% sure. Because every orthodontist says the same things — great technology, beautiful smiles, call us today — but nobody’s giving you the information you actually need to make a decision and feel good about it.

Can you trust this orthodontist to do excellent work and be straight with you? Can you actually afford it without the financial stress? And is this going to fit into your life — the one where you’re already juggling school pickups, sports schedules, and everything else that comes with being a busy parent?

Murray Orthodontics answers all three before you ever commit to anything. Our Royal Palm Beach office is about 10 minutes from Wellington, and your free consultation includes a complete exam, digital imaging, and a full financial breakdown with low down payments and flexible payment plans that actually work for your budget. 

No pressure. No surprises. Just a clear plan you can feel confident about.

Why Wellington Families Choose Murray Orthodontics

Here’s what it comes down to: you want an orthodontist you can trust, a price you can actually work with, and an experience that doesn’t add more stress to your already full plate. That’s exactly what Wellington families find when they visit our Royal Palm Beach office.

You see the same orthodontist every visit. At some practices, you might see a different associate each time or have a technician handle most of your adjustments. At Murray Orthodontics, Dr. Murray is your orthodontist at every single appointment. He knows your case, your concerns, and your name — not just your chart number.

Board certification matters more than you think. Dr. Murray is an ABO Board-Certified Orthodontist, a voluntary credential that requires rigorous testing and case review. 

Fewer than half of all orthodontists pursue it. It’s the difference between meeting the minimum standard and exceeding it. He completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Florida and graduated from Duke University and Nova Southeastern University’s dental school at the top of his class.

The staff has been here for decades — literally. Some of our team members have been with this practice for 15 to 28+ years. That kind of experience and continuity is rare in any medical practice. When you call or walk in, they remember you. They know your treatment. They genuinely care how things are going.

You actually get answers about cost — and options that fit your budget. Before you ever commit to treatment, we give you a complete financial breakdown — your insurance benefits, out-of-pocket costs, and all of your payment options. 

Braces at Murray Orthodontics typically range from $3,000 to $7,000 depending on your case. We offer low down payments, in-house no-interest financing, and pick-a-payment flexibility so you can choose a monthly amount that makes sense for your family. 

No vague “it depends” answers. No surprise bills three months in.

We get it — you’re busy. Between school, sports, activities, and everything else on your calendar, the last thing you need is an orthodontist that makes scheduling feel like a part-time job. 

We keep appointments on time, offer flexible scheduling Monday through Thursday, and make it easy to get in and out without disrupting your whole day. When you have multiple kids in different activities, that kind of respect for your time matters.

A Practice Wellington Already Knows

If you’ve been searching for an orthodontist in Wellington, FL, Murray Orthodontics might already be a familiar name. 

The practice was founded in 1991 by Dr. Brad Taylor, who treated patients from Wellington and across Palm Beach County for nearly three decades. When Dr. Taylor retired, Dr. Murray carried on that legacy — keeping the same experienced staff, the same patient-first approach, and the same commitment to honest, high-quality care.

That continuity matters. You’re not starting fresh with an unknown practice. You’re joining one with deep roots in this community and a team that’s been doing this together for a very long time.

What Your First Visit Looks Like

Your free consultation at our Royal Palm Beach office takes about an hour. Here’s what happens:

You’ll be greeted by name (yes, even on your first visit — our team actually prepares for you). We’ll take digital scans and X-rays using advanced 3D imaging — no goopy impressions. 

Then you’ll sit down one-on-one with Dr. Murray, who will walk you through exactly what he sees, what he recommends, and why.

Before you leave, you’ll have a complete financial picture: what your insurance covers, what your out-of-pocket cost will be, and what payment options are available. There’s no pressure to start that day, though same-day treatment starts are available if you’re ready.

The goal is for you to leave feeling informed and confident — whether you decide to move forward or want to think it over.

Your Treatment Options

When it comes to Wellington, FL braces and orthodontic treatment, you have more options than you might think. Whether you’re a parent looking into braces for your child, a teen who wants something less noticeable, or an adult who’s finally ready to straighten things out, Murray Orthodontics has you covered.

Metal Braces — Still the most reliable and cost-effective option for many cases. Today’s braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than what you remember. We use shape-memory NiTi wires (originally developed by NASA) that apply gentle, consistent pressure — no more painful “tightening” appointments. We also offer Iconix champagne-colored braces if you want a subtler look without going full clear.

Clear Braces — Ceramic brackets that blend in with your teeth. Same effectiveness as metal braces, just harder to spot. A popular choice for adults and teens who want the reliability of braces without the metal look.

Invisalign — Clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. Dr. Murray is a top recommended Invisalign provider in Palm Beach Gardens with advanced training. Take them out to eat, brush, and for important events. Most people won’t even notice you’re in treatment.

Not sure which option is right? That’s exactly what the free consultation is for. Dr. Murray will recommend the best treatment for your specific case — not the most expensive one.

How Much Do Braces Cost Near Wellington, FL?

Let’s cut to what you really want to know. If you’re pricing out braces in Wellington, FL, you’ll find that most orthodontists won’t give you a straight answer online. We will. 

Braces at Murray Orthodontics typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000. Clear braces and Invisalign fall in a similar range. The exact cost depends on the complexity of your case and how long treatment takes.

Here’s what’s included in that price: your initial exam and imaging, all of your adjustment appointments, your retainers at the end of treatment, and any emergency visits if a bracket pops off or a wire needs attention. No hidden fees that show up halfway through.

Here’s how we make it work for your family:

• Low down payments — Start treatment without a huge upfront cost
• In-house, no-interest payment plans — We handle financing directly, no third-party lender
• Pick-a-payment options — Choose a monthly amount that fits your budget
• Pay-in-full discount if you prefer to handle it upfront
• Insurance-friendly — We accept more Florida plans than most practices and check your benefits before you arrive

Your free consultation includes the full financial picture so you know exactly what you’re working with before you say yes.

With 270+ five-star Google reviews and recognition as an award-winning practice consistently recognized among the best in Palm Beach County, the results speak for themselves. See more patient stories and reviews or check out real before and after transformations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth driving from Wellington for orthodontic treatment?

Wellington families tell us yes — and here’s the math. With braces, you’re visiting roughly every 6 to 8 weeks. With Invisalign, it’s every 8 to 12 weeks. That’s about 10 to 15 visits over the course of treatment for a 10-minute drive. 

When you compare that to settling for a Wellington orthodontist you’re not fully confident in, most families find the short drive is an easy trade for a Board-Certified Orthodontist with 270+ five-star reviews, transparent pricing, and a team that’s been together for decades.

What’s the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist who does braces?

An orthodontist completes 2 to 3 years of specialized residency training beyond dental school, focused exclusively on moving teeth and aligning bites. A general dentist who offers braces or Invisalign doesn’t have that additional training. 

Dr. Murray completed a rigorous 3-year orthodontic residency at the University of Florida — one of the top programs in the country — and then went a step further by earning ABO board certification.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept more Florida insurance plans than most orthodontic practices. 

Before your first appointment, our team contacts your insurance provider to verify your benefits and gives you a clear picture of what’s covered. No surprises.

Can adults get braces too?

Absolutely. About half of Dr. Murray’s patients are adults. Whether you’re 25 or 65, it’s never too late to straighten your teeth. Many adults choose Invisalign or clear braces for a more discreet option, but metal braces are also a great choice depending on your case.

What if my child needs early orthodontic treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends kids see an orthodontist by age 7. Dr. Murray offers Phase 1 treatment to address developing problems early — like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth issues — which can prevent more complex treatment later. 

A free consultation will let us know if your child needs treatment now or if it’s better to wait and monitor.

What if I’ve already consulted with an orthodontist in Wellington and want a second opinion?

We welcome second opinions — we get them all the time from Wellington families. Your free consultation with Dr. Murray includes a thorough evaluation and honest recommendation. If he doesn’t think you need treatment, he’ll tell you. 

If he sees a different approach than what another orthodontist in Wellington FL recommended, he’ll explain why. No pressure, just the truth.
