Adult Orthodontics in Boynton Beach, FL
Book your free adult consultation · (561) 364-0013
Plenty of our patients here are adults. Some had braces as a teenager and have watched their teeth drift back since. Others never got the chance the first time around and have decided this is the year.
Treatment happens at one address on S. Military Trail, in the Boynton Trail Centre plaza, with chairs open Monday to Thursday. You start with a free consultation: Dr. Petrover looks at your teeth and your bite, and you go home knowing what treatment would involve, roughly how long it would run, and what it would cost.
Why Boynton Beach Adults Choose Petrover Orthodontics
Adults sit in the same chairs as the teenagers here, and they arrive with a different set of questions.
Why Petrover Orthodontics for adult treatment?
Orthodontics has been Dr. Jonathan Petrover’s specialty for more than 20 years. He’s a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Southern Association of Orthodontists, the South Florida Academy of Orthodontists and the Florida Association of Orthodontists, and he takes 12 to 18 continuing education courses a year.
What matters more to most adults is who is actually in the room. The orthodontist who plans your treatment here is Dr. Petrover, an orthodontic specialist.
Adult teeth also behave differently from a 13-year-old’s. Think old fillings, a crown, a tooth that came out years ago and never got replaced. All of it changes how treatment gets sequenced, and a specialist who sees a full range of ages every week knows what to expect from yours.
What our Boynton Beach patients mention most
What patients write about most is the people. In their Google reviews, Boynton Beach patients keep coming back to the kindness of the staff, and to how comfortable the office feels to sit in. After that it’s Dr. Petrover himself: his professionalism, and the fact that he explains what he’s doing and why. You can read what our patients say in their own words.
What Makes Adult Treatment Different at Our Boynton Beach Office
Adults who call us usually want the logistics settled first: where, when and how it fits around work.
What makes adult treatment here different?
Every appointment happens at 9804 S. Military Trail. Chairs are open Monday to Thursday and the office is closed Friday, which is worth knowing before you plan around a long weekend.
If you’d rather treatment stayed quiet at work, ceramic brackets blend with your teeth, and we fit In-Ovation self-ligating braces and Invisalign for adults as well. Records are taken with an iTero digital scanner rather than a putty tray, so there’s nothing to gag on, and you watch your own teeth build up on the screen while the scan runs.
What you get at the Boynton Beach office
- A free consultation covering your exam and digital x-rays.
- One fee for the whole course of treatment, including your diagnostic records, every appliance you need along the way, your retainers and your follow-up visits.
- Monthly payment plans with a down payment, so the fee is spread out instead of due all at once.
- Your orthodontic benefit checked and your claims filed for you.
That’s how treatment is priced and run here.
How Adult Treatment Works at Our S. Military Trail Office
The first visit commits you to nothing. It’s also the only appointment you need to book to find out where you stand.
What happens at your first adult consultation?
- Digital scan
- Digital x-rays
- Your options and fee
Your first visit is the free consultation, a $249 value. It covers an exam, digital x-rays and a full discussion of your options with Dr. Petrover, who goes through your own records with you.
Records come first. Instead of a putty tray, we run a digital scanner over your teeth, which takes a few minutes. The x-rays show what’s going on under the gumline, which a look in your mouth can’t tell you.
Then you sit down and talk it through. Dr. Petrover tells you what he sees, which options would work for your bite and which wouldn’t, roughly how long treatment would run, and what the fee would be. You leave with all four of those answers. If the answer is that something else needs dealing with first, he’ll tell you that too, and you’ll still have paid nothing for the visit.
Your options as an adult: braces or Invisalign
Four options get fitted here, and which one suits you depends on your bite and your routine rather than your age.
| Option | Who it tends to suit |
|---|---|
| Metal braces | Cases that need heavier correction, and anyone who isn’t worried about how treatment looks |
| Ceramic braces | Adults who’d rather braces stayed low-key at work, with the same mechanics as metal in tooth-colored brackets |
| In-Ovation self-ligating braces | Adults who’d rather the wire sat in a built-in clip than under elastic ties. Available here in metal or ceramic |
| Invisalign clear aligners | Adults who want a removable option and can wear it close to full time |
Dr. Petrover will tell you which one fits your bite at the consultation. If you’d rather read up first, we compare metal, ceramic and clear aligner options in detail. There’s more on self-ligating brackets and on Invisalign at our Boynton Beach office. And our main page on adult braces and Invisalign treatment goes through how each option works and how long it takes.
Is Adult Orthodontics Right for You? Candidacy, Cost and Insurance in Boynton Beach
Two questions hold adults back more than the braces themselves: whether they’ve left it too late, and what it is going to cost.
Are you a candidate for adult orthodontics?
Age isn’t the test. What decides it is the health of your teeth and the bone holding them in place. About one in three orthodontic patients today is an adult, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, which also says that being older does not prevent you from getting orthodontic treatment. We treat patients from kids to their 70s across Boynton Beach and Wellington.
What does change the order of things is an unhealthy mouth. Gum disease or active decay gets treated first, and the AAO notes that in many cases orthodontic treatment cannot start until certain dental conditions like cavities are treated. That changes the sequence, not the answer.
Crowns, bridges and implants don’t automatically rule you out either. They get planned around, which is part of why the exam and the x-rays come before the plan. And if you wore braces as a teenager and your teeth have drifted since, you’re in common company: that’s one of the reasons adults come in here.
What does adult treatment cost in Boynton Beach?
There’s no single price for adult treatment, because the fee tracks the case: how far your teeth have to travel, the appliance you choose, and the months it takes. A Florida average won’t predict your number.
What we can tell you now is how the money is structured. One fee covers your whole course of treatment here, and it includes your diagnostic records, every appliance you need along the way, your retainers and your follow-up visits. Nothing gets added on at the end. The consultation that produces your own figure is free, a $249 value, so you leave that visit knowing the fee for your own plan.
Treatment is paid monthly with a down payment. Here’s how our fees are structured, and these are the plans we publish:
| Treatment | Orthodontic Benefits in one’s Dental Insurance | Per month | Down payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive Treatment | without Orthodontic Benefits | $190 – $250 | $500 |
| Comprehensive Treatment | with $1500 of Orthodontic Benefits | $140 – $190 | $500 |
| Limited Treatment | without Orthodontic Benefits | $135 – $275 | $500 |
| Limited Treatment | with $1500 of Orthodontic Benefits | $20 – $150 | $500 |
Those are examples, not a quote. We can only give you an accurate fee once we’ve done a complimentary consultation and treatment plan.
Insurance usually moves the number, so we’ll check your orthodontic benefit before you begin and file the claims on your behalf. We work with most PPO plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Assurant, Guardian, MetLife, Humana, Delta Dental and Solstice. There’s more on the plans we work with, and whatever your plan covers, the rest is spread monthly.
Your own number comes out of an exam. One visit settles it, and the visit costs nothing.
