About Gulf Coast Orthodontics - Fort Myers
Dr. Laboda paused one patient's treatment during a military deployment at no extra cost, reflecting a willingness to adapt care around complex, multi-stage cases.
Gulf Coast Orthodontics treats a wide range of cases, from early-phase expanders and space maintainers in young children to adult Invisalign patients in their 50s and 60s and a multi-stage surgical case involving double jaw surgery. Reviews mention custom 3D-printed brackets used to shorten treatment time and describe the office accommodating unusual circumstances, such as pausing care for a deployed service member without added charges. Families with multiple kids in treatment note that siblings have gone through braces or Invisalign together, and the staff is repeatedly described as warm and attentive, with a financial coordinator who explains billing in detail.

We’ve had such a great experience with Gulf Coast Orthodontist! From the very first visit, the entire team has been welcoming, kind, and professional. They took the time to explain every step of my daughter’s braces journey, which really helped us feel comfortable and confident in the process. The office is always clean and runs on time, and the staff goes out of their way to make my daughter feel at ease during each visit. Her smile looks beautiful, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they’ve given her. Highly recommend to any family looking for a trustworthy and friendly orthodontist!

We are so glad we made the switch to Gulf Coast Orthodontics! From the very beginning, the communication and transparency have been exceptional. Before each visit, we know exactly what will be done and what to expect—nothing is ever a mystery. The orthodontist personally checks in and takes the time to speak with parents, and the assistants are consistently friendly, professional, and clearly committed to doing excellent work. They also provide access to helpful information and explain how they plan to improve and support treatment along the way. The entire office has a welcoming and inviting atmosphere, and we truly feel informed and involved in the process. Our experience here has been completely different from our previous orthodontist, and we are very happy we made the change. Highly recommend Gulf Coast Orthodontics!
