Your Port St. Lucie Orthodontist

Dr. Vince Napoli was born and raised in South Florida. He went to high school in Ft. Lauderdale, and then attended the University of Florida for his undergraduate degree, graduating in the top one percent of his graduating class. He then went on to earn his dental degree from Nova Southeastern University, once again graduating at the top of his class. Knowing that he wanted to practice clinical orthodontics, he then attended a 3-year graduate program at the Jacksonville University School of Orthodontics, where he completed his specialty training as chief resident and was trained by long time Stuart Florida Orthodontist Dr. Bill Swigler. After a long search of looking for the right orthodontist to continue his legacy, Dr. Lively invited Dr. Napoli to join his practice in 2022. Dr. Napoli now calls South Florida home again with his wife Jenny, his dog Gio, and a baby on the way.

Dr. Mark Lively graduated from the University of South Florida in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He then attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he graduated at the top of his class. He was the first student to ever receive both the Outstanding Graduating Senior Award and the Pierre Fauchard Award for Outstanding Dental Achievement in the same year. Following dental school, he completed an additional two-year orthodontic residency at the University of Louisville, becoming a specialist in the field of orthodontics.

Dr. Lively has been in private practice since 1990. He moved from Tampa to Martin County in 1993 in search of the perfect place to raise his family. His other goal was to establish a small, comfortable, hands-on orthodontic practice. He found everything he was looking for and opened his practice in downtown Stuart, nestled on the property of the historical Owl House on the St. Lucie River.

Types of treatment

Braces

Traditionally, braces remain a powerful tool in orthodontics. They consist of ceramic or metal brackets connected by wires and elastics, applying gentle pressure to gradually align your teeth. Regular check-ins ensure adjustments for optimal results.

For complex smile issues, braces offer an excellent solution, often delivering faster teeth alignment and gap closure. Additionally, braces may present a cost-effective choice compared to other treatments, without compromising quality or effectiveness.

Embrace the transformative power of braces, a time-honored orthodontic solution. With ceramic or metal brackets, wires, and elastics, they work harmoniously to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions. Our dedicated team will ensure regular check-ins and adjustments, accompanying you on your journey to a confident smile.

At our practice, we understand that the journey to a beautiful smile is unique to each individual. That's why we take a personalized approach, tailoring the treatment to your specific needs and goals. From the moment you step into our office, you'll experience a warm and welcoming environment, where our compassionate team will provide the care and support you deserve. With a focus on your comfort and well-being, we are committed to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Clear aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, have become a highly sought-after alternative to traditional braces, capturing the hearts of patients and orthodontists alike. These innovative aligners eschew the use of brackets and bands, offering a discreet and comfortable way to gradually straighten teeth.

Crafted from a specially designed, transparent plastic material, clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth snugly. By following a prescribed treatment plan, you will switch to a new set of aligners approximately every 1-2 weeks, allowing your teeth to steadily move towards their desired positions. Commitment is key to success—wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours a day is crucial to ensure the optimal outcome. Deviating from this routine may compromise the effectiveness of your treatment and extend its duration.

While clear aligners excel at addressing many common orthodontic cases, they may not be the ideal solution for complex situations. By scheduling a consultation with our compassionate team, we can assess your unique needs and recommend the most suitable treatment path. We are here to guide you towards a smile that fills you with confidence and joy.

Experience the freedom and discretion of clear aligners, the modern approach to orthodontic care. With their smooth and virtually invisible design, they allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing unnecessary attention. Say goodbye to the metal wires and brackets, and embark on a transformative journey towards a more aligned and radiant smile. Our dedicated team is ready to support you at every step, ensuring your clear aligner treatment is comfortable, effective, and tailored to your individual goals. Scheduling a consultation with our team will allow us to help you determine your best path forward.
