How Do X-Rays Track Progress In Orthodontics? 

Why Choose Dr. Juan for Your Conway Smile

Choosing the right orthodontist matters. Dr. Juan Faja-Fernandez completed dental school plus additional specialty training in orthodontics, which means he focuses only on straightening teeth and aligning bites, all day, every day. That's different from a general dentist who offers braces on the side.

Here's what sets our team at Seabreeze Orthodontics apart:

  • Specialist-level training. Orthodontics is all we do.
  • Modern technology. Digital scans replace messy molds, and 3D treatment planning lets you preview your results.
  • Personalized care. Every customized treatment plan is built around your goals and your lifestyle.
  • Community roots. We're proud to serve families across Conway, from neighborhoods near Coastal Carolina University to Conway High School and beyond.
  • A friendly, unhurried experience. You're more than just another smile, you're part of the family.

At Seabreeze Orthodontics, changing lives, one smile at a time isn't a slogan. It's how we show up every single day.

Orthodontic Treatments We Offer in Conway

Everyone deserves a fantastic smile, and no single option works for everyone. Dr. Juan will walk you through every option at your free consultation so you can pick what fits your life.

Metal Braces
Today's metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than the ones you remember. They're the most versatile option and work beautifully for complex cases at any age.

Clear Braces
Ceramic brackets blend with your natural tooth color, giving you the reliability of braces with a much lower profile. A popular pick for teens and adults who want discretion.

Clear Aligners
Our clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable. Eat what you love, brush and floss normally, and watch your smile straighten.

Early Treatment for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends kids have their first orthodontic check by age 7. Dr. Juan can catch developing issues early and, in many cases, guide growth so future treatment is simpler.

Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
The day your braces come off is a big one. We'll fit you for a custom retainer to protect your beautiful new smile for life.

What to Expect: Your First Visit & the 5 Stages of Treatment

Wondering what happens once you decide to begin treatment? Here's how it works.

Stage 1: Free Consultation & Records
You'll meet Dr. Juan, tour the office, and get a full exam with digital scans and photos. We'll review your options and timeline. Many patients start same-day.

Stage 2: Placement Visit
We bond your braces or deliver your first set of clear aligners. This visit is comfortable and typically takes about an hour.

Stage 3: Active Alignment
Your teeth move a little at a time. You'll visit us every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments or new aligner check-ins.

Stage 4: Detailing & Finishing
As your smile nears the finish line, Dr. Juan fine-tunes the bite and tooth positions for a result you'll love.

Stage 5: Retention
The day your braces come off, we'll deliver custom retainers to keep your new smile stable for the long haul.
