Adult Orthodontic Treatment

At Shullman Orthodontics in Wellington, FL, we like to stress to our patients that orthodontic treatment is not just for kids or teenagers; people of all ages can benefit from it. More and more adults today are seeking orthodontic treatment to improve their smile. We offer a full range of treatments specifically designed for adults – leaving you with a dramatically different smile and healthier bite.

Orthodontic treatment is not only designed to improve the appearance of your smile, but to improve the health of your teeth and gums as well. By seeking orthodontic treatment as an adult you can possibly avoid severe tooth decay, gum and bone loss, irregular wear of the tooth enamel, and TMJ/TMD pain later in life. Often times, because adults usually are more compliant in their orthodontic treatment, their results turn out far greater than with a child and/or teen. By following the instructions provided by Dr. Shullman, you not only increase your chances for amazing results, but could also shorten your treatment time as well.

Adult Orthodontic Treatments

We offer a wide selection of treatments in order to meet the individual needs and desires of each of our adult patients. From traditional metal braces and clear braces to the more aesthetic Invisalign clear aligners that can be worn to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth, we are confident we can help you achieve and maintain the beautiful, healthy smile you've always dreamed about. Another very popular treatment option among our adult patients is SureSmile.

SureSmile Braces

Utilizing 3-D imaging and robotic technology, SureSmile braces are customized to your unique treatment plan by applying high temperatures and robotic precision to a wire made from shape memory alloy. The material characteristics of this alloy deliver gentle, consistent forces as they move your teeth more directly to their target position. Due to the accuracy of the bends placed in the arch wires, the average treatment time with SureSmile is almost 40% faster than conventional braces. With SureSmile braces technology, you can experience the following added benefits:
• Shorter treatment times
• Fewer office visits
• Less overall discomfort
