Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry offers braces, Invisalign, and early orthodontic evaluations for kids, teens, and adults throughout Wellington, FL and western Palm Beach County.
Orthodontics plays a crucial role in ensuring that children, teenagers, and adults develop healthy, straight teeth and properly aligned jaws. At Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry in Wellington, FL, families can access a full range of orthodontic services tailored to patients of every age — from early childhood evaluations through adult Invisalign treatment.
Pediatric orthodontic treatments are designed to correct misalignments, improve bite issues, and enhance overall dental aesthetics. Early intervention is often recommended to guide proper jaw development and prevent more complex issues later on. At Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry, the following services are available:
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, the orthodontist can assess the development of teeth and jaws to identify any issues that may benefit from early intervention. Early evaluations can simplify future treatment, reduce overall treatment time, and in some cases prevent the need for more extensive procedures.
Both braces and clear aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Braces use brackets bonded to the teeth connected by wires that are adjusted periodically. Clear aligners are custom-fabricated plastic trays replaced every one to two weeks to continue the alignment process. Both methods are clinically effective — the best choice depends on the patient's needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

| Treatment Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Metal Braces | The most common type, made of high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires. | Complex cases; children and teens; most cost-effective option. |
| Ceramic Braces | Brackets made of clear or tooth-colored ceramic materials, far less noticeable. | Teens and adults who want braces with greater aesthetic appeal. |
| Invisalign Clear Aligners | Custom-made, removable plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. | Teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment or bite issues. |
| Lingual Braces | Brackets placed on the inside (tongue side) of the teeth, hidden from view entirely. | Patients who want effective correction with zero visible hardware. |
Traditional metal braces remain the most widely used orthodontic treatment because of their proven track record and versatility. Key advantages include:
Clear aligners like Invisalign have become a preferred choice for teens and adults who want discreet treatment. Their key advantages include:
Yes — clear aligners are clinically effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues in both teenagers and adults. They can address mild to moderate crowding, spacing problems, and many common bite issues. Treatment duration typically ranges from several months to approximately two years depending on case complexity.
Beyond clinical outcomes, clear aligners provide a meaningful psychosocial benefit for teenagers — they are virtually invisible, so teens can smile and go about their social lives with full confidence throughout treatment. Removability also means no dietary restrictions and no changes to oral hygiene routines.
Our orthodontist will assess during a free consultation whether Invisalign is the right fit for your teen's specific case.
The orthodontic treatment process at Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry is designed to be thorough, personalized, and patient-friendly from the very first visit. Here is what to expect at each stage:
Treatment with traditional braces typically takes between 18 and 30 months. Clear aligner treatment generally ranges from 12 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline estimate during your free consultation.
Orthodontic treatment is about much more than a straight smile. Properly aligned teeth and jaws deliver lasting health and quality-of-life benefits that extend well beyond the end of active treatment.
A straight, healthy smile has a measurable positive effect on self-esteem and social confidence in children, teens, and adults alike.
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean effectively — reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and the complications they cause over time.
Treating overbites, underbites, and crossbites reduces wear on teeth, prevents jaw pain, and supports comfortable chewing and speaking.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child's first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, the orthodontist can assess jaw development and tooth alignment and identify whether early (Phase 1) treatment would be beneficial. Early evaluations do not always lead to immediate treatment — many children simply go on a monitoring schedule until they are ready for full orthodontic care. Early evaluations are complimentary at our Wellington, FL office.
Phase 1 (early) orthodontic treatment typically occurs between ages 7 and 10, while a child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth. Its goal is to address significant jaw development issues or severe bite problems before they become more complex. Phase 2 is full comprehensive orthodontic treatment — usually braces or aligners — that begins once most or all permanent teeth have erupted, typically between ages 11 and 13. Not all children need Phase 1 treatment; your orthodontist will advise based on your child's specific development.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of treatment chosen, and patient compliance. Traditional braces typically require between 18 and 30 months of active treatment. Invisalign clear aligners generally range from 12 to 24 months. Minor cases may be completed more quickly, while complex bite corrections may take longer. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline estimate during your initial consultation.
Yes — Invisalign has a dedicated Teen formula (Invisalign Teen) designed specifically for adolescent patients, including compliance indicators and accommodations for teeth that are still erupting. Invisalign is highly effective for most teenage orthodontic cases and is particularly popular among teens who are self-conscious about appearance. The aligners are removable for eating, sports, and special occasions, which many teens find is a significant quality-of-life advantage over traditional braces.
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age, and a growing number of adults are choosing to improve their smiles with braces or Invisalign. Adults can benefit from the same treatment options as teens — traditional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners — depending on their clinical needs and aesthetic preferences. Premier Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry warmly welcomes adult patients.
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits — often covering a percentage of treatment costs or providing a lifetime orthodontic allowance. Coverage varies widely by plan, so it is important to review your specific policy or contact your insurance provider. Our team will help verify your orthodontic benefits before treatment begins and will work to maximize your coverage. Call our office at (561) 333-4568 to discuss your coverage options.
Once active orthodontic treatment is finished, your orthodontist will fit you or your child with custom retainers to maintain the newly achieved tooth positions. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift back over time without retention, so wearing retainers as directed is an essential final phase of orthodontic care. Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first several months after treatment, then transitioned to nighttime wear. Regular dental check-ups continue to be important during and after the retention phase to ensure lasting results.
