Our Community

Located in the heart of charming LaBelle, Glades Orthodontics proudly serves patients at our conveniently located office at 150 Main Street, Suite 2B. Known as the "City Under the Oaks," LaBelle is rich in history and small-town hospitality, originally founded as a cattle and citrus town along the Caloosahatchee River. Today, it’s home to vibrant festivals like the Swamp Cabbage Festival, scenic outdoor parks, and a walkable downtown district filled with historic buildings and local flavor. We’re proud to be part of this close-knit community and honored to help residents and visitors alike achieve healthy, confident smiles.

When visiting our LaBelle office, patients often enjoy a day out exploring the unique charm of the area. Take a leisurely stroll through downtown and explore boutique shops offering one-of-a-kind gifts and artisan treasures. For food lovers, LaBelle offers a variety of local restaurants—from down-home Southern comfort food to Cuban and Mexican cuisine that reflects the region’s diverse heritage. Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup or beginning a new smile journey, your visit to Glades Orthodontics can easily be part of a relaxing and enjoyable day in town.

Glades Orthodontics is led by Dr. Edward A. Cronauer and Dr. Earle “Chip” Edwards—two dedicated orthodontists who combine decades of experience with a passion for personalized, high-tech care. Dr. Edwards has served the LaBelle and Clewiston communities since 1979 and continues to bring his expertise and warmth to every appointment. Dr. Cronauer, a board-certified orthodontist with a background in computer science, is passionate about digital innovation and brings advanced technology like intraoral scanning and 3D printing directly into the hands of local families. Together, they create a welcoming environment where every patient is treated like family.

Our LaBelle office offers a wide range of modern orthodontic solutions, including Glades Aligners—custom clear aligners made in-house to treat minor tooth movement efficiently and affordably. We also offer LightForce clear braces, a fully personalized 3D-printed option for patients seeking a discreet and precise alternative to traditional braces. For those who prefer a classic option, our American-made metal braces use low-profile brackets designed for both comfort and results. No matter your age or goals, we’re here to help you smile with confidence—right here in beautiful LaBelle.
