Clear aligners on a hospital schedule — San Marco's 7am answer.
San Marco keeps odd hours. Half the neighborhood works shifts at Baptist Medical Center or crosses the river before sunrise; the other half runs the shops and restaurants around the Square that don't wind down until late. A dental office with banker's hours serves neither half. Ours opens at 7am and closes at 7pm, seven days a week — which happens to be exactly the rhythm aligner treatment wants.
Here's why the fit is real rather than rhetorical: aligners only need the office occasionally. You swap trays at home; we see you for a scan, a fitting, and a progress check every six to ten weeks, each visit running about 31 minutes indoors. From San Marco, the studio is a reverse commute — I-95 south to the 9B side, against traffic in both directions — and because every visit is walk-in, a post-shift 7am check gets you home before the espresso machines around the Square warm up.
This is also a neighborhood that notices details — you live among 1920s facades and the lions of San Marco Square, after all. The trays are invisible at conversational distance, and the pricing is as clean as the aesthetics: $3,900 full adult course, $2,400 limited course for drifted front teeth, refinements included, retainers $450 as the single separate line. Published before we open in September 2026; the Founding 500 waitlist locks $29/month for life.
Why this works from here
- I-95 south to 9B is a reverse commute from San Marco — against the traffic both ways
- 7am and 7pm walk-in windows land on either side of a Baptist Medical Center shift change
- Checks every six to ten weeks — fewer trips than you make to the Square in a normal month
Questions, answered plainly
I work nights at Baptist — can I really come straight after a shift?
That's the plan, literally: doors open at 7am every day including weekends, no appointment needed, and a progress check typically runs shorter than our standard 31-minute visit. Walk in scrubs-and-all, get checked, be asleep by nine.
Is there anywhere closer to San Marco, and why drive to you anyway?
There are dentists closer to the Square — we won't pretend otherwise. The case for us is specific to aligners: the treatment needs only a handful of visits, so hours and flexibility matter more than mileage. Walk-in access from 7 to 7, seven days, plus a published all-in price, tends to beat proximity to an office that books three weeks out.
Will patients or colleagues notice the trays during rounds?
At working distance, virtually never — clear trays don't read across a bedside or a conference table. Speech adapts within a day or two of each new set. And for the moments that matter, trays come out: the wear target of 20–22 hours a day has room built in for a presentation or a dinner on Hendricks Avenue.
What's the price, and what does membership subtract?
Full adult course $3,900, limited course $2,400, teen course $3,700 — refinements included in each, retainers $450 separately, all published. Membership takes 15% off: the full course drops to $3,315. Founding 500 members pay $29/month for life, so the discount alone out-earns a year of dues.
How do I start before you open?
Join the Founding 500 waitlist — it costs nothing, locks the $29/month lifetime membership rate, and gets you the address the moment the lease signs. We open September 2026 in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor; the scan visit that starts your course can be your first stop that season.
