Why Choose a Board-Certified Orthodontist?
A board-certified orthodontist in Kissimmee can make all the difference. At Kendrick Orthodontics, you’re trusting a specialist with advanced training, proven results, and a deep commitment to your smile — offering expert orthodontic care with Invisalign and braces for kids, teens, and adults across Central Florida. When it comes to your smile, choosing a board-certified orthodontist at Kendrick Orthodontics in Kissimmee means you’re trusting a specialist with advanced training, proven results, and commitment to excellence.
At Kendrick Orthodontics, Dr. James Kendrick is proud to be a board certified orthodontist — a distinction that goes beyond a standard dental license.

What does “board-certified” mean?
It means your orthodontist has:
-
Completed advanced specialty training in orthodontics
-
Passed rigorous written and clinical exams
-
Been voluntarily evaluated by experts in the field
-
Committed to ongoing education and high standards of care
Fewer than 40% of orthodontists in the U.S. complete this process.
What Sets a Board-Certified Orthodontist Apart?
Not all orthodontic care is created equal. While any licensed dentist can legally provide orthodontic treatment, board-certified orthodontists complete years of additional training and pass rigorous exams to demonstrate their advanced skills. That difference matters — especially when you’re trusting someone with your long-term facial aesthetics, jaw function, and overall oral health.
Board certification means your orthodontist has gone the extra mile to ensure excellence. It shows a commitment not just to clinical knowledge, but to ethical care, precision treatment, and lifelong learning. At Kendrick Orthodontics, we believe that kind of dedication should be the standard — not the exception.

- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing issues
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite
- Open bite and narrow arches

Real Results for Real People
At Kendrick Orthodontics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Every smile is unique — and every patient has their own story. That’s why board certification matters even more when treating cases that require precision and expertise.
Case: Invisalign for a Busy Teen
One of our Kissimmee patients, a 14-year-old high school student, came to us with mild crowding and a deep bite. She wanted Invisalign, but her parents were concerned about compliance. Thanks to Dr. Kendrick’s board-certified planning and regular digital monitoring, she completed her treatment on time — without missing a single tray. Now she smiles confidently in every yearbook photo.
Case: Adult with TMJ and Open Bite
A 42-year-old patient from Celebration came to us with jaw pain and an open bite from years of teeth grinding. Traditional braces were recommended elsewhere, but Dr. Kendrick created a hybrid treatment with Invisalign and elastics that corrected the bite and eliminated her TMJ symptoms. She now refers her entire family to our office.
Case: Airway Concerns in a Young Child
One family from St. Cloud brought in their 7-year-old son who snored, mouth-breathed, and struggled with attention in school. Dr. Kendrick identified a constricted airway and used a palatal expander to create space and improve nasal breathing. The child now sleeps better — and his teachers report big improvements in focus and mood.
