- 2465 S State Road 7, Suite 600
Our Wellington office is open Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm. We’re a short drive from Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, The Acreage and Greenacres. Some of the people we see are parents wondering whether a seven-year-old needs anything done yet. Some are adults who’ve thought about straightening their teeth for years and have finally decided to ask the question. Both are welcome here, and both start the same way. You come in for a free consultation, Dr. Petrover talks you through what he finds, and you leave knowing your options and what they’d cost.
Why Wellington Families Choose Petrover Orthodontics
Choosing an orthodontist is a decision you’d rather make only once. Braces usually take about 18 to 24 months, though it will vary with your case, so you’re really choosing the person you’ll be sitting in front of every few weeks for a long stretch. That’s worth getting right.
Who is Dr. Petrover?
Dr. Jonathan Petrover has spent more than 20 years working as a specialist in orthodontics. He’s a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and three Florida and regional orthodontic societies. He also attends 12 to 18 continuing education courses a year, which is how our office stays current as brackets, wires and aligners change.
In that time he’s treated thousands of patients across Wellington and Boynton Beach.
That experience shows up in the range of appliances we keep available. Alongside conventional metal and ceramic brackets, we fit In-Ovation self-ligating braces, which hold the wire with a built-in clip instead of elastic ties. That can make adjustment appointments a little quicker.
Our Wellington patients have left more than 290 Google reviews, averaging 4.9 stars (September 2026). The themes that come up most include the welcoming staff, how comfortable the office feels and thorough explanations. You can read what our patients say in their own words.
What Makes Our Wellington Office Different
Your first visit here costs you nothing, and that’s deliberate. A lot of people put off asking about braces because they’re expecting a number they can’t afford. We’d rather you just came in and found out.
Your first visit is a free comprehensive consultation
The consultation is a $249 value and we don’t charge for it. It includes an initial exam, digital x-rays and a full braces consultation with Dr. Petrover. By the end of it you’ll know whether you or your child needs treatment, which options would work, roughly how long it would take, and what the fee would be.
You’re not committing to anything by coming in. It’s fine to consult, go home and think about it for a few months before coming back. That’s normal.
Digital impressions, not goopy trays
If your memory of orthodontics involves a tray of putty and the urge to gag, that part is gone. We take digital impressions with a scanner instead. It takes a few minutes and there’s no putty involved.
If something breaks, call us
Brackets come loose and wires poke. It can happen to anyone, usually at the least convenient moment. Call the office and we’ll get you in the same day whenever possible. Our emergency care page covers what to do at home in the meantime.
What to Expect at Our Wellington Office
Most of the worry about orthodontics is really worry about the unknown. Here’s the whole arc, start to finish.
What happens at your first visit?
You’ll fill out your paperwork, meet the team, and have any digital x-rays or scans you need taken. Then Dr. Petrover looks at your teeth and your bite and talks you through what he sees in plain language. If treatment isn’t needed yet, he’ll say so and we’ll send you a reminder as the time approaches. There’s more detail on our first visit page, and you can book a consultation online whenever it suits you.
What treatment looks like day to day
Once treatment starts, you’ll come back regularly for adjustments so Dr. Petrover can check your progress. Those appointments are short. Teeth usually feel tender for the first few days after braces go on and for a day or two after each adjustment. Soft food and a mild over-the-counter pain reliever handle it for most people. Between visits, life goes on more or less as normal. You’ll brush more carefully and give up a few foods, and that’s most of the adjustment.
The food list is shorter than people fear. We tell patients to avoid anything sticky, hard or chewy, so popcorn kernels, ice, hard candy, whole apples and caramel are out for the duration (apple slices are fine). It matters more than it sounds: a broken bracket means an extra visit, and enough of those stretch your treatment out. Cleaning takes longer, because food gets trapped around brackets, and the spots where it hides are exactly where chalky white marks start. We’ll show you how to get around a bracket properly at your fitting, and our guide to oral hygiene with braces has the rest.
After your braces come off
Teeth tend to drift back toward where they started if nothing holds them, so treatment doesn’t end the day the brackets come off. You’ll be fitted with a retainer, and wearing it is what protects the result you just spent a year or two paying for. We’ll show you exactly how long to wear it and how to look after it.

Your first visit is a free comprehensive consultation, a $249 value. We’ll show you your best options, with no surprises and no pressure.

Is Orthodontic Treatment Right for You?
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age seven. That surprises a lot of parents, because most seven-year-olds are nowhere near ready for braces. The point of the visit isn’t to start treatment. It’s to see how the jaw is growing and whether the adult teeth have room to come in, while there’s still time to guide it if needed, which may mean simpler treatment later. Often the answer is that nothing needs doing yet, and we just keep an eye on it. If you’re looking for braces for kids and teens in Wellington, our kids and teens page covers what to expect.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and we treat adults well into their 60s and 70s. The AAO reports that one in three orthodontic patients is now over 18, an all-time high. Many adults care about how visible treatment is, and clear aligners and ceramic brackets are both hard to spot. Dr. Petrover often prefers Invisalign for older patients, because they tend to have more dental work such as crowns and fillings. Adult treatment sometimes takes longer than the same correction would in a teenager, but the teeth still move.
What does treatment cost, and what does insurance cover?
There’s no single price for braces, and an accurate fee needs an exam first. The fee depends on how much movement is needed, which appliance you choose, and how long you’ll be in treatment. A minor correction and a full bite correction are different pieces of work.
Here’s how we handle it. At your free consultation we work out your treatment plan first, then give you the actual fee for that plan before you commit to anything. One thing worth asking any orthodontist: what’s actually included. Ours covers the diagnostic records, the appliances you need through treatment, your retainers at the end, and follow-up appointments. We work with most PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian and Humana, and we’ll check your orthodontic benefit for you. We also offer payment plans, so you can spread the cost monthly rather than paying it all up front. Our cost of treatment page walks through example structures, and our payment and insurance page covers what we accept.
Orthodontic Care at Our Wellington Office
Treatments we offer here
| Option | Who tends to choose it |
|---|---|
| Metal braces | Kids and teens, and anyone who wants the most straightforward option. They handle complex cases well. |
| Ceramic braces | Teens and adults who want something less noticeable but still fixed in place. |
| Invisalign and clear aligners | Adults and older teens who want something removable and nearly invisible, and who’ll wear their aligners as instructed. |
| Retainers | Everyone, after treatment. Also for patients whose teeth have shifted since an earlier round. |
If you’re weighing Invisalign against braces, we’ll go through both at your consultation rather than steering you toward one.
Serving Wellington and the nearby communities
Our Wellington patients come from across the western communities and beyond, including Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, The Acreage, Greenacres and Lake Worth Beach. Coming from West Palm Beach? Our West Palm Beach page has directions from your side of town.
The drive is a bigger factor than it seems. Orthodontic treatment means coming back every few weeks for a year or two, so a drive that’s fine once becomes a real consideration by the tenth visit. It’s worth picking an office you won’t resent driving to.
Our other office in Boynton Beach
We also have a Boynton Beach office, off South Military Trail, if that’s the easier drive for you.
