James Boyle Innovative, progressive, honest, and trustworthy. Howe Orthodontics provided me with care that was exceptional and surpassed my expectations.
My dental journey began several years ago. I had used a different brand of aligner and, due to the pandemic, my teeth did not follow the intended path. I looked to every orthodontist in the Keys but nobody would take my complex case until I met Dr. Howe. She suggested we use a new treatment that was unlike the other brands including Invisalign. This innovative technology could address my issues that they could not. And her aligner system did just that. It redefined clear aligner therapy. She was able to correct both my cant and the off-center orientation of my teeth. Invisalign could not do that according to every consultation I received leading up to my treatment with Dr. Howe. Her aligner treatment and the aligners she uses were extremely comfortable and less noticeable than other aligners like Invisalign. Most people did not realize I was under treatment.
Dr. Howe also implemented virtual monitoring during my plan. This was new to me and one of the best aspects of my treatment. Each time I was due to change the aligner, I used the at-home virtual monitoring equipment she provided to capture my teeth position. The detail of the virtual monitoring was astounding. It showed my current bite, alignment, and more. The pictures were then sent to Dr. Howe who personally reviewed each snapshot. From there, she would provide me with feedback and direction through the app, including whether to progress to the next tray or hold for a few more days. The app that is used for virtual monitoring also permitted me to message Dr. Howe at any time with questions. Given my past experience, I was a very apprehensive patient and this provided me with peace of mind. Dr. Howe addressed my questions or concerns promptly, taking out any angst. As my treatment progressed, virtual monitoring saved all of the snapshots I had taken. This enabled me to use the See Progress feature which provided a slideshow video of my teeth shifted beginning with the first pictures taken via the app. I found this resource very beneficial.
During this journey, Dr. Howe and her staff provided individualistic care. They were patient, kind, accommodating and truly invested in my progress. I have now completed my treatment and the results are remarkable. I recently came in contact with a stranger at the resort I work and we realized we had a mutual friend. She took a picture of us to send to our friend that I havent seen since Dr. Howe and I started treatment. Immediately, a text came through exclaiming, “YOUR TEETH LOOK STUNNING!” Thank you Howe Orthodontics for your knowledge, expertise, and willingness to use a program that others do not offer. Your treatment is so innovative and progressive and was the means that restored my confidence.

Claudia Montero Dr. Howe and her team have been amazing from day one! As a local from Key West, it means a lot to have someone in the community providing such high-quality care. Dr. Howe is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind, sweet, patient, and always takes the time to explain each step of the process. Her staff is friendly, the office is spotless, and scheduling has always been easy. We’ve seen great results already and couldn’t be happier with the experience. If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! Highly recommend Dr. Howe to anyone looking for an orthodontist you can truly trust—especially if you’re local!❤️

JENNY GALLEGOS We’re in town for a short time but needed an Ortho when my kid’s braces’ wire started poking her. I called Howe Ortho and they got her in within 90 minutes and she was in and out in no time at all. They even gave us Ortho wax if it should bother her again. Thank you for the amazing service and care, especially considering we’re only passing through!!!!! I only wish you were located back home!
