For more than 55 years, families throughout St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the surrounding Tampa Bay community have trusted Amley McEntire Orthodontics with their smiles. Dr. Clayton McEntire, a board-certified orthodontist and Diamond Invisalign® Provider, leads our privately owned practice with the same care he’d want for his own family — braces, Invisalign, and early treatment explained clearly and recommended for the right reasons. Rated 4.9+ stars across more than 300 reviews, we’re proud of the trust this community has placed in us for generations.
Dr. Clayton McEntire is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary distinction that reflects advanced clinical knowledge and a commitment to delivering exceptional orthodontic care through continued education and rigorous standards.
Same-day treatment starts are available for both Invisalign scans and braces, so if you're ready to begin after your consultation, we can start treatment during the same visit instead of scheduling you to come back.
We use digital 3D scanning to capture your smile instead of the thick, uncomfortable putty trays used for traditional impressions. This results in a faster, more comfortable visit that also gives Dr. McEntire a more accurate view for planning your treatment.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or your child, Amley McEntire Orthodontics offers personalized orthodontic solutions designed to create healthy, functional, and confident smiles. From traditional braces to clear aligners, early orthodontic treatment, and shorter limited treatment for minor touch-ups, we’ll help you find the right approach for your goals and lifestyle.
We offer modern self-ligating metal and traditional clear braces that provide precise, effective treatment for patients of all ages, from simple alignment concerns to complex bite correction.
As a Diamond Invisalign Provider, Dr. McEntire offers customized Invisalign treatment for teens and adults seeking a discreet, comfortable alternative to braces.
Early orthodontic evaluations allow us to monitor your child's growth and determine if Phase 1 treatment can help guide healthy jaw development and create space for permanent teeth.
Orthodontic care extends beyond straightening teeth. At Amley McEntire Orthodontics, we also offer complementary treatments that support your overall smile and oral health, including laser gum contouring, professional teeth whitening, airway treatment, and TMJ/TMD therapy. Whether you’re looking to enhance your smile after orthodontic treatment or address concerns affecting comfort and function, we’ll help determine which options are right for you.

Whether you’re scheduling your child’s first orthodontic evaluation, exploring Invisalign®, or looking for a trusted orthodontist closer to home, our team is here to make exceptional care convenient for your family.
Every smile is different, so the total treatment length depends on your individual needs. Most orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though some patients finish sooner while more complex cases may take longer. During your consultation, Dr. McEntire will provide a personalized estimate based on your smile and treatment goals.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. An early evaluation doesn’t always mean treatment is needed right away, but it allows Dr. McEntire to monitor growth and determine the ideal time to begin treatment if necessary.
