The Visit Should Feel as Good as the Result

Most people arrive at an orthodontist expecting to be rushed. We designed this practice so that never happens, from the length of your appointment to the way we explain what comes next.

Appointments are scheduled with room to breathe, so no question is too small to ask twice. We know your name, your treatment and what is happening in your life. You are not a chart number here, and you will notice it on day one.

Three years in general dentistry before specialising means Dr. Lopez plans every case around the health of the whole mouth, not just the alignment of teeth.

Getting started is simple. Your first visit is complimentary, and you will leave knowing your options, your timeline and your investment. If treatment is indicated, we can take the records and place the braces that same day, saving a trip and a missed day of school.

Who We Treat

Every Stage of a Smile, Under One Roof

From a child's first orthodontic visit to an adult finally doing it for themselves, every case is planned with the same care and the same attention to how the result will look.

For Kids

A first orthodontic check by age seven lets us guide jaw growth while it is still happening, which often shortens or simplifies treatment later on.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Dayspring Different

Appointments are scheduled with room to breathe. You will never feel moved along, and no question is too small to ask twice.

The first visit carries no pressure, no sales pitch and no cost. You leave knowing your options, your timeline and your investment, whether or not you choose to start with us.

We know your name, your treatment and what is happening in your life. The team is the same one that welcomed you at Carlyle Orthodontics, and existing patient records, treatment plans and appointments continue uninterrupted under Dr. Lopez.

Three years practising as a general dentist gave Dr. Lopez a whole-mouth understanding of dental health, a foundation she relies on to plan and treat even complex cases with precision, paired with an eye for aesthetic detail that makes every result look as natural as it is functional.

A handheld digital scanner captures your teeth in a few minutes with no trays, no putty and no gagging. The scan becomes a three-dimensional plan Dr. Lopez maps herself and walks through with you on screen, including a simulation of the finished smile. Each visit is measured against that plan, so you always know where you are.

Residency and fellowship training in orthodontics and facial orthopedics means we can guide the growth and relationship of the jaws themselves, not only the teeth. That is the specialist training that lets us take on complex cases in-house.

The Doctor Behind the Smiles

Meet Dr. Ana Lilian Lopez

A smile does more than straighten teeth. It changes how you walk into a room. That belief is what pulled Dr. Lopez into orthodontics, and it is what drives her every day: giving you a healthy, beautiful smile that carries you with confidence and full function for years to come.

Her path here was built one deliberate step at a time: a Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Florida, three years in general practice, then a Master of Science, residency as Chief Resident and a fellowship in orthodontics and facial orthopedics at Jacksonville University. She has been an Invisalign provider for six years and also treats with Clarity aligners.

Outside of Dayspring, you will usually find her competing at a local race or chasing after her toddler. Family is a big part of why she understands the trust patients place in her, whether she is caring for a child's very first smile or an adult finally investing in their own.

“Every patient who sits in my chair gets the same care and attention I’d want for someone I love, because that’s exactly how I see you.”
DMD & MS Chief Resident, Orthodontics Fellowship, Facial Orthopedics Invisalign Provider, 6 Years AAO, ADA, FDA & HDA Member

FAQ

Questions? We Have Answers.

We can't wait to meet you and welcome you to our office. Our team is committed to making your treatment as easy and enjoyable as possible, in a friendly and welcoming environment. During your first visit you'll get acquainted with the process and procedures; we'll discuss your customized treatment options in detail, the estimated treatment length and the associated costs. The initial consultation is free. If treatment is indicated, we offer same-day convenience: we can take the necessary records and place the braces that day, saving a trip and avoiding a missed day of school.
By age seven. A first orthodontic check while the jaw is still growing lets us guide that growth and catch spacing and bite patterns early, which often shortens or simplifies treatment later on. Most children seen at seven do not start treatment right away; we simply know when the right moment will be.
Yes. Same location at 8255 Lee Vista Blvd, Suite D, and the same team, now Dayspring Orthodontics under Dr. Ana Lopez. Existing patient records, treatment plans and appointments continue uninterrupted.
No. You can request a consultation directly, and we will coordinate with your general dentist as treatment progresses.
Both are available, and both are planned digitally from the first appointment. Dr. Lopez has been an Invisalign provider for six years and also treats with Clarity aligners: removable and nearly invisible, a popular choice for adults and older teens who want treatment to stay quiet. Modern metal and ceramic brackets are smaller, more comfortable and faster than the ones you remember. Dr. Lopez will tell you honestly which will give the better result for your case.
It depends on the case, so we do not quote a number before we have seen you. What we promise is clear numbers before you leave the first visit: the written treatment cost, what your insurance is expected to cover, and monthly payment options. We accept all PPO plans, FSA and HSA funds, CareCredit and Cherry, and we offer 0% interest in-house financing. See Insurance & Financing.
Call us at (407) 447-9060 during office hours and we will get you in. We do not have an after-hours line. Until we see you, a small piece of orthodontic wax over the bracket or wire end keeps it comfortable.
Our goal is to bring out your best smile and help you maintain it for life, and a healthy smile includes healthy gums. A gingivectomy is a procedure that removes unhealthy gum tissue, reducing the depth of gum pockets, promoting oral hygiene and preserving your teeth. A quick and simple contour of the gums can dramatically improve your finished smile and increase dental longevity.
Facial profile abnormalities, small or narrow arches and crooked teeth often result from an obstructed airway. Our airway treatments focus on a single goal: improved breathing. By considering facial features, breathing patterns and overall health, we take a comprehensive approach that goes beyond dental alignment.
Yes. A performance mouthguard fits snugly on your teeth over your braces and protects them during sports and other physical activity. They come in different colors.
