Eglin may be the largest Air Force base in the country by area, but great orthodontic care sits just off its edge. Dr. Brodie Bowman, a USAF veteran orthodontist, sees every new patient personally at 28 Racetrack Road NW in Fort Walton Beach, about 15 minutes from the base. All consultations happen there, they're free, and you leave with an exact price.

Care Built for the Way Eglin Families Actually Live
Whether you're with the 96th Test Wing, the 33rd, or one of the tenant units spread across Eglin's 400,000-plus acres, your family's schedule answers to the mission first. Dr. Bowman built his practice with that reality in mind, because before he was a Fort Walton Beach orthodontist he was an Air Force one: two years treating families at Yokota Air Base in Japan, then Chief of Orthodontic Services at Keesler AFB in Biloxi.
The practical payoff for Eglin households is real. We're a United Concordia provider who processes military dental benefits every single week. If orders send you to another base mid-treatment, we prepare complete PCS transfer records so the next provider continues seamlessly, and if you arrive at Eglin with braces already on, we'll pick up someone else's plan the same way. Our waiting room sees flight suits so often they might as well be the uniform of the house. Learn more on the military families page.
The Full Orthodontic Arsenal, Minutes From the Gate
Base kids grow up fast, and the AAO says the first orthodontic check should come by age 7, which makes braces for kids the starting point for many Eglin families. Teens and parents have their own paths through braces for adults and teens or Invisalign clear aligners, which cost exactly the same as braces here because a Platinum+ Invisalign Provider shouldn't nickel-and-dime convenience. Afterward, retainers hold the line no matter where the Air Force sends you next. Payment plans are interest-free and in-house from $189/month, with 7% cash and 5% card pay-in-full discounts.
Getting Here From Eglin AFB
From the West Gate, it's a straight run down Eglin Parkway into Fort Walton Beach, roughly 15 minutes to 28 Racetrack Road NW, the stand-alone building next to Choctaw High School and across from Wells Fargo Bank.
