Since 1994, One Doctor Has Personally Planned Every Case at Ogden Orthodontics

WINDERMERE, FL — In an era when dental groups often rotate patients through a changing cast of providers, Ogden Orthodontics has built its reputation on the opposite model: one orthodontist, three Central Florida offices, and a promise that the doctor who plans a patient's case is the same doctor who sees it through to the day the braces come off. For more than thirty years, Dr. Robert Ogden has been that doctor, and the practice he founded in 1994 now holds a 4.9 rating across 204 reviews and a 99 Dental.me Score, numbers that reflect three decades of consistency rather than a single good year.

A Single Doctor, Three Communities, Thirty Years

Dr. Ogden opened his first office in Clermont in 1994, the same year he completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Florida. Windermere followed in 1995, and Mount Dora joined in 2006, giving families across Lake and Orange counties a consistent orthodontic home close to where they live. Over more than 20,000 treated cases, Dr. Ogden has remained the sole orthodontist across all three locations. There is no rotating roster of doctors and no handoff partway through treatment — whether a patient walks into the Clermont, Windermere, or Mount Dora office, the person examining their teeth, planning their treatment, and adjusting their braces at every visit is Dr. Ogden himself.

That continuity is not incidental to the practice's identity; it is the identity. Ogden Orthodontics describes itself plainly as a family-owned practice built around transparency and patient-centered care, and the structure of the business reflects it: a single treating doctor, published pricing, and a stated commitment to reinvesting in the Clermont, Windermere, and Mount Dora communities the practice has served for three decades. As the practice puts it, "We are a family owned practice, we put the price in writing before you commit, and we reinvest in the Clermont, Windermere, and Mount Dora communities we have treated for three decades."

Credentials Behind the Chair

Dr. Ogden earned his DDS from Case Western Reserve University before completing his orthodontic residency at the University of Florida in 1994. He is a member of both the American Association of Orthodontists and the Florida Association of Orthodontists, professional affiliations that keep him current with evolving standards in tooth movement, bite correction, and appliance technology. That training underpins every case that comes through the practice's doors, from a first grader's early growth evaluation to a grandparent's Invisalign touch-up.

Treatment Options Built Around the Bite, Not the Sale

The practice offers a full range of approaches: traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, lingual braces, Invisalign clear aligners, early Phase I treatment for children ages six to ten, retainers, and custom-fit Orbit mouthguards. Braces also incorporate 3D-printed brackets placed with indirect bonding, a technique designed for precise placement, efficiency, and comfort. Rather than defaulting to whichever option is easiest to present, Dr. Ogden evaluates each patient's bite and growth pattern and recommends the treatment that will finish the case most effectively — a distinction the practice is careful to draw for teens and adults alike, both of whom are frequently eligible for either braces or Invisalign depending on what the digital scan shows.

Pricing is published rather than withheld: braces run $4,550 for metal or clear ceramic, Invisalign Touch-Up cases are $2,495 and typically resolve in under six months, and Invisalign Comprehensive treatment is $4,895, which includes three refinements. These fees hold steady across all three offices, and every patient receives a written price before committing to treatment, with 0% in-house financing available to spread costs over time.

The Patient Experience, From First Visit to Finished Smile

Every new relationship with the practice begins with a free consultation that includes a full exam and a digital scan. Patients leave that first visit with a plain, written answer: treat now, watch and wait, or nothing to worry about, along with an exact price if treatment is recommended. For young children, the practice emphasizes early evaluation around age seven, when a bite that looks off can often be guided more easily while the jaw is still growing — a window that narrows considerably once growth is complete. For teens and adults, the same digital-scan-and-free-consultation process determines whether braces or Invisalign will finish the case better, with most treatment plans running twelve to twenty-four months.

Patients describe that process in strikingly consistent terms. One patient, Elizabeth S., recalled that "every visit to the office has been a wonderful experience, thanks to the staff's warm and inviting demeanor," after having her braces removed. Another, Lauren M., noted that the team had "gone above and beyond to help our daughter have a good experience," while Ron S. praised a staff "definitely focused on your best interest." Taken together with the practice's 4.9-star average across 204 reviews, the feedback points to a patient experience built on attentiveness as much as clinical outcome.

Rooted in Central Florida

Few orthodontic practices in the region can point to thirty-plus years of continuous, single-doctor service across three towns. Ogden Orthodontics has grown alongside Clermont, Windermere, and Mount Dora themselves, expanding its footprint only as the communities it serves grew — not by adding doctors, but by adding offices Dr. Ogden could personally staff. That slow, deliberate expansion, paired with a family-owned structure and a standing policy of written, upfront pricing, has made the practice a familiar fixture for generations of Lake County families seeking orthodontic care close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the office hours at the Windermere location?
The Windermere office is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and is closed on weekends.

Will I see Dr. Ogden at every visit?
Yes. Dr. Ogden is the only orthodontist across the Clermont, Windermere, and Mount Dora offices, and he personally plans and oversees every case from the first consultation through the final visit.

How much do braces and Invisalign cost?
Braces are $4,550 for metal or clear ceramic. Invisalign Touch-Up is $2,495 for minor movement and typically finishes in under six months. Invisalign Comprehensive is $4,895 and includes three refinements. These fees are the same across all three offices and are shared in writing before treatment begins.

Is the first visit really free?
Yes. The initial consultation includes a full exam and digital scan at no cost, and there is no obligation to begin treatment afterward.

At what age should a child first be evaluated?
Orthodontists generally recommend an early evaluation around age seven. Many children do not need treatment at that visit, but early identification allows jaw growth to be guided if needed, while the option is still available.
