About Smiles by Dr. R

Dr. Ira Rothstein's team turns braces removal into a celebration, and SureSmile technology has cut some treatment times to well under a year.

This orthodontic practice, led by Dr. Ira Rothstein, treats a steady mix of children, teens, and adults across braces, Invisalign, and more complex cases like non-surgical underbite correction. Reviews frequently mention how comfortable kids are made to feel, from a parade tradition when braces come off to point-and-prize systems that keep young patients engaged. Several reviews also describe treatment finishing ahead of schedule, including cases using SureSmile wire technology that shortened braces time to around eight months. The office is also described as clean and well organized, with appointments generally running on time.

What patients say

Latest review 4 weeks ago

What patients praise

  • Kids are treated to touches like a celebratory parade when their braces come off and earn prizes for good behavior at visits.
  • SureSmile technology and efficient planning have helped some patients finish treatment months ahead of the original timeline.
  • Dr. Rothstein is described as finding a non-surgical fix for a severe underbite and advising against unnecessary treatment like Invisalign or veneers when he felt it wasn't needed.

Things to know

  • A couple of reviews describe a case where treatment ended without fully resolving a crooked tooth, with one reviewer feeling a discount was offered instead of further correction.
  • A few reviews raise concerns about decisions made without prior consultation, including reshaping of teeth and a retainer replacement fee that rose from the amount originally quoted.

Who it suits

  • Families with multiple children in treatment at once
  • Young children who may be nervous about orthodontic visits
  • Adults considering treatment for the first time

Really such an exceptional experience at Dr.Rothstein’s office. From the moment you walk in there, you feel the good energy from everyone working in there. From the women at the front desk, to Lori, to the hygienists in the back and of course, Dr.R. I came in with a small spacing in between my front two teeth after my permanent retainer fell off. Instead of pushing me to spend thousands of dollars on Invisalign or braces, Dr.R worked smarter not harder and was able to close my gap in the matter of 20 minutes using a smart technique of his. I’m really so grateful for this office and the people in it. I was intrigued by the reviews and they really do live up to them . I would seriously recommend this office to anybody who is looking for a kind and reliable orthodontist.

As somebody who has spent over five years with Smiles, I can safely say that they are the most helpful, understanding, and hospitable orthodontists in Southern Florida. I’ve recently gotten my braces off after five years, and I’m so grateful that I did the whole process with them. After many cancellations, meetings, and memories getting to know the orthodontists at smiles, my journey is finally almost over in a bittersweet conclusion to the wonderful treatment I and my family have received at Smiles thus far.
