This office is wonderful, they really make you feel comfortable here! Super friendly staff and Dr. Samantha is the best orthodontist I’ve ever been seen by! Highly recommend this place for any of your ortho needs, wish I could give 10 stars!
I’m a new patient and came in to get some retainers made for me and the staff was so kind and welcoming. I was in and out and the entire process was done in less than fifteen minutes! In the past with other orthodontists I have had to get impressions made which is uncomfortable and takes a long time. With Coastal Smiles they simply and gently scanned my smile and had me in and out the door! Samantha Zavada Cardinal always has a smile on her face and is amazing with her patients. The entire staff were sweet, complimentary, and fast! I cannot recommend this establishment enough!!

I am very pleased with my results at coastal smiles. Dr. Cardinal listened to what my concerns were, and my appointments were always quick and easy. All of the assistants were also so friendly every time I came in! As an adult, I didn't want metal in my mouth, so she found me a solution with Invisalign I'm really happy with. Thank you Dr. Cardinal for being such a caring and kind doctor!

Frequently Asked Questions

Seeing real results is one of the best ways to understand what orthodontic treatment can achieve. Many patients and parents in Naples have questions about timelines, expectations, and what contributes to a successful smile transformation. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions people ask when exploring orthodontic before-and-after results.

How long does it usually take to see visible changes during orthodontic treatment?

Most patients begin noticing small improvements within the first few weeks. Alignment becomes more noticeable around the 3–6 month mark, depending on the severity of the bite and the type of treatment. Every smile moves at its own pace, but steady, predictable progress is expected.

Yes, both braces and Invisalign can produce excellent outcomes. The best option depends on your specific orthodontic needs. Braces may be ideal for more complex corrections, while Invisalign offers an aesthetic, flexible approach for mild to moderate cases.

Absolutely. Many adults experience dramatic improvements with braces or Invisalign. Age does not limit your ability to achieve a healthy, well-aligned smile, it simply requires a customized plan tailored to adult bone structure and lifestyle.

Your transformation can last a lifetime with proper retainer wear. Teeth naturally shift over the years, so retainers play a key role in preserving your beautifully aligned smile long-term.

Several things can affect treatment time, such as:

  • Your unique tooth and jaw movement
  • Consistent aligner wear (for Invisalign)
  • Following elastic-wear instructions
  • Maintaining good oral hygiene
    Staying on track with scheduled visits also supports smoother progress.
