Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Patients wear each set for 20-22 hours daily, changing them every ten days. Treatment lasts 9-24 months depending on complexity. Our board-certified orthodontist creates customized digital treatment plans using iTero Element scanning technology. This method offers aesthetic benefits, easier oral hygiene, and no food restrictions compared to conventional braces.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide aesthetic orthodontic treatment with tooth-colored brackets. Our In-Ovation self-ligating system eliminates elastic ties that discolor over time. These braces combine efficiency with discretion, moving teeth 30-40% faster than traditional systems. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18-24 months with adjustment appointments every 5-7 weeks. Ideal for teens and adults seeking less visible orthodontic solutions.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use In-Ovation self-ligating technology for improved comfort and efficiency. The clip-based system reduces friction and allows faster tooth movement. Patients benefit from shorter treatment times (18-24 months) and fewer adjustment appointments. These durable braces remain the most cost-effective option while delivering precise tooth alignment results for children, teens, and adults.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies through coordinated care. Our board-certified orthodontist collaborates with oral surgeons to address functional and aesthetic concerns. Treatment combines pre-surgical orthodontics, jaw surgery, and post-surgical alignment. Ideal for correcting bite issues, facial asymmetry, and sleep apnea caused by skeletal imbalances. Comprehensive care from initial consultation through final tooth positioning.
LightForce Braces
LightForce braces utilize 3D-printing technology for fully customized orthodontic treatment. Each bracket is digitally designed based on individual tooth anatomy and facial structure. This innovative approach enables precise tooth movement with reduced treatment time. Patients benefit from enhanced comfort and personalized care through digitally planned force application. The most advanced option for complex orthodontic cases requiring exact tooth positioning.

Report
Dr Legler was very helpful, patient and informative. His staff was pleasant and professional. The technology was impressive and eye opening to a newcomer to orthodontics like me. His office's Covid-19 precautions were outstanding, which was particularly important to me as a senior citizen and as a retired medical doctor. I was able to decide to go ahead with the Invisalign treatment plan with confidence right away, due to all of the above.

Legler and staff is the best! I have to leave to work out of state for 6 months and he worked with me and adjusted my treatment so I didn't have to fly back for appointments during that time.

I had to have a retainer replaced and my dentist recommended Legler Orthodontics. When I arrived for my appointment the front desk staff were very welcoming and I did not have to wait 5 minutes to be called back for my appointment. The technician was friendly and did a great job with no discomfort. My smile looks great again and I would definitely recommend Legler Orthodontics.

Professional staff, efficient process, and knowledgeable Doc. We came in for a consult and left with braces. This was the second Ortho doc we saw in Vero, and even though it was more expensive it was an all inclusive price and the level of care this team gave us is worth every penny.

I saw Dr. Legler and his staff yesterday. They're all so friendly and professional! From getting my X-rays and scans, to going over financial information they made me feel great and were all so helpful! Dr. Legler was very nice and spent time explaining everything to me. He didn't make me feel rushed, or make me wait long for my appointment. Denise is awesome, she's very relatable and knowledgeable! I'm so excited to continue my care with their team! Thanks everyone!
