Adult Treatment

It's a common sight for teens and younger patients to wear braces to intercept or correct teeth and jaw misalignments. But, more and more adults are seeking adult orthodontic treatments to get the smile they have always wanted. OrthoMike Orthodontics is your Boca Raton, FL partner for a quality and personalized treatment from an orthodontist you can trust!

Whether you need adult braces to correct misaligned teeth or bite and crowding issues, orthodontics can help you achieve your desired smile. Dr. Michael Wiernicki can create a treatment plan for you based on an initial consultation and discuss your individual needs and goals.

Getting adult orthodontic treatment can mean two things: you have not received early orthodontic treatment or your teeth moved back after previously receiving orthodontic treatment. There are also other rare cases of damage from trauma to the mouth or jaw that require correction. Below are some of the most common cases of misalignments among adults:

Crooked teeth may include teeth that are uneven in size, shape, and position. They can also have gaps in between or have one or more extra teeth that are ruining your smile. These can be corrected with adult braces to realign the teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Teeth crookedness can come in mild, moderate, or severe cases.

If you have crooked teeth, correcting them feels like a simple cosmetic treatment. But, it can also improve your overall oral health, since alignment makes it easier to brush and floss teeth. You can also avoid biting the inside of the cheeks and gum tissue when you correct the misalignment.

A person's jaws need to be properly aligned to create a correct bite. If the jaws do not meet as intended, you are suffering from a bad bite or malocclusion. For instance, an underbite is when the lower jaw is further out than the upper, while an overbite is just the opposite. A crossbite means that one or more teeth do not meet when you close your mouth, while an open bite is when the front teeth are unable to touch each other.

Adult braces or clear aligners can work to correct bite problems since they can apply gentle pressure to bring the teeth and jaws back to their correct positions. This will improve your chewing, speech, and aesthetics.

Fixed adult braces are the most popular option for adult orthodontic treatment. Today's braces are designed to be more efficient, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing than ever before. We use advanced technology to help you achieve a beautiful smile quickly and effectively.

Braces can come in different materials such as metal and ceramic. At OrthoMike Orthodontics, we provide both options for patients to choose from. If you want adult braces that can go unnoticed, ceramic braces offer a more discreet solution.

If you are not concerned about their appearance, you can choose traditional metal braces that can correct even more complex misalignments. You have the option to add colors and decorations to spice up your adult braces. So, it all depends on your individual needs and goals.

Lingual braces are adult braces that are placed on the inside of your teeth. Since they are hidden from view, "invisible" lingual braces offer a more discreet orthodontic treatment option. These adult braces work in the same way as traditional braces, but since they are placed on the inside, they are less visible.

Lingual braces are an excellent option for patients looking for a quick fix but don't prefer traditional braces on their lower front teeth. This type of adult brace is affordable, low-key, and can only take about 6 months in most patients.

Invisalign adult aligners are a more discreet option for orthodontic treatment. The thin, clear plastic aligners fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into the desired position. Invisalign adult aligners are nearly undetectable, and they make brushing and flossing easier than ever before.

When you choose Invisalign, Dr. Mike will create a customized treatment plan created with 3D imaging technology. This way, you can see the results of your treatment before the set of aligners are created.

Dr. Mike introduces patients' first choice for clear aligners in Boca Raton—OrthoMike Clear Aligners. They are an affordable and faster orthodontic alternative to metal braces. Clear Aligners from OrthoMike are digitally programmed and produced at our clinic.

How are OrthoMike Clear Aligners a popular choice? Our clear aligners offer a faster delivery time of 2-3 weeks, sooner than other leading companies. This is because they are locally designed and produced at our facility in Boca Raton.

For Invisalign, the patient's waiting time for the first set of aligners to be manufactured and delivered can take up to 10 weeks. This is because this aligner brand caters to thousands of patients from all around the United States and even abroad.

OrthoMike Clear Aligners also require fewer orthodontist visits as Dr. Mike schedules appointments with longer intervals in between. During these appointments, you will only need to pop into our office to get your next set of aligners and check on your progress.
