About Central Florida Orthodontic Specialists (Melbourne)
Affordable payment plans and an orthodontist willing to delay treatment rather than start early braces unnecessarily set this Melbourne practice apart.
Reviews highlight below-market financing, with several families reporting they saved money compared to other orthodontist quotes and appreciated plans with no down payment. Many notes describe the orthodontist recommending patients wait until timing is right rather than pushing early treatment, and multiple families have brought several children through braces here over the years. A smaller number of reviews describe premature removal of braces leading to relapse or unexpected extra charges after payment was completed.

Had an initial consultation this morning. Didn’t feel like any of my questions got answered. Was just told I needed braces for year because bonded retainer popped and was told they don’t do them. This has happened several times before and was never told id need braces again for a year, just minor correction. Also, asked several questions after about Invisalign that felt brushed off. No bedside manners. Won’t be returning.
Extremely frustrating experience. I felt completely shut out and ignored when trying to make another appointment, and my calls were no longer being answered. As someone with a speech disability, the way I was spoken to on the phone felt dismissive and disrespectful. I was also told they only take out-of-state patients, which was incredibly discouraging as a Florida resident seeking help. Overall, I did not feel supported or respected, and I would not recommend this place EVER!!!
I have been taking my daughter to Central Florida Orthodontics for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t recommend a better place to go for braces. The doctor and the staff are all amazing. Lately we have been working with Helene the most for our admin stuff and she is fantastic. Always has a smile and goes above and beyond. I will miss her and everyone else when the braces come off. Thanks for making this a great experience!
Office manager Helene in Melbourne is condescending. We missed an appointment and I agreed to the charge. She did not even attempt to care or believe that I did not receive invoice for fee on the missed appointment. My daughter and I were going to get our braces there also but I’ll take my money else where. She didn’t seem to care that she was losing future business over a late fee
The staff here have been so extremely kind and helpful walking me thru this process, Cindy and Roberta have really helped me understand the process and getting my granddaughter cared for. I'm very happy so far with everything we have had to deal with to be met with such kind and caring people . I'm very blessed to have found this office and start my granddaughters care here. We continue to look forward to coming here.
