Lake Worth and Greenacres Quick Facts
Why Make the Drive From Lake Worth?
There are orthodontists closer to home. So it’s fair to ask what you get for a 15 to 25 minute drive.
Maybe your dentist mentioned crowding at your child’s last cleaning. Maybe you’re an adult who has kept your smile out of photos for years. Either way, you’ll be coming in for months, so who treats you and what it costs matter more than a few miles.
The same orthodontist at every visit
Dr. Murray examines you, plans your treatment and checks your progress himself. You won’t be handed off to a rotating set of doctors.
Your total cost before you start
Your insurance is checked before you arrive, and you see your full cost at the free consultation. Payment plans are always no interest.
Options for every age
Metal braces, clear braces, Iconix braces and Invisalign for teens and adults, plus early checks and Phase 1 treatment for younger kids, all from one orthodontist.

Not Sure Which Treatment Fits? Take the 30-Second Quiz
Answer two quick questions to see which options you’ll likely talk through at your consultation.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic checkup by age 7. A checkup doesn’t mean braces that day. Dr. Murray tells you whether to treat now or keep watching.
A quiz can’t diagnose your teeth. A free exam with Dr. Murray can.
Braces stay on, so there’s nothing to take out at lunch or remember to put back in. Iconix champagne-colored brackets give a subtler look than silver. Dr. Murray can explain how braces compare with aligners for your case.
A quiz can’t diagnose your teeth. A free exam with Dr. Murray can.
Both are less noticeable than metal braces. Invisalign aligners come out to eat and only work when worn 20 to 22 hours a day. Clear ceramic braces blend in and stay on. Dr. Murray will tell you which fits your teeth and bite.

Orthodontic Treatment for Lake Worth Kids, Teens and Adults
Dr. Murray treats every age, and about half of our patients are adults. See orthodontics for all ages for how treatment changes from childhood on.
Metal braces and Iconix champagne-colored braces
Metal braces handle everything from crowding and gaps to complex bite problems, and they’re often the lowest cost option.
Iconix brackets have a champagne finish that’s less noticeable than silver. Our page on braces in Royal Palm Beach compares every option.
Clear ceramic braces
Tooth-colored brackets blend in with your teeth and work like traditional braces. Adults and older teens often choose them. Learn more about clear braces.
Invisalign
Clear, removable aligners straighten teeth without wires or brackets, and Dr. Murray can show you how your teeth will move before treatment starts.
They work when you wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. See Invisalign in Royal Palm Beach for the details.
Early treatment for kids
Phase 1 treatment can start around age 7 for problems that are easier to treat early, like crowding, a narrow upper jaw, habits, or permanent teeth with no room to come in.
See more real cases in our before and after gallery. Results depend on each patient’s teeth, bite and treatment plan.
