A Commitment to Mental Health & A Luxury Experience with Wiktorski Orthodontics
A Fresh Take on Orthodontics
Open in BayTowne Plaza since February 2025, Wiktorski Orthodontics is transforming the way orthodontic care is delivered. Founded by Dr. Cody Wiktorski, a board-certified orthodontist from Penfield with a passion for innovation and patient-centered care, this practice brings a refreshing new approach to smile transformation. After operating an Invisalign-only clinic in Buffalo, NY, Dr. Cody saw firsthand the benefits of a streamlined, patient-first model. Now, he’s bringing that vision home, ensuring that each guest receives unparalleled service in a welcoming environment.
A Vision Rooted in Personal Experience
Dr. Cody’s journey into orthodontics was shaped by personal loss, fueling his mission to make a meaningful impact beyond straightening teeth. “I lost my little brother to suicide during my senior year of college,” he shares. “I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I ended up taking a job as a sterilization tech at an orthodontic office, just trying to keep moving, and that’s where I started to see the platform orthodontists have.” This realization led to the creation of a practice where mental health awareness is just as important as orthodontic excellence. Through Youth Mental Health First Aid training, Wiktorski Orthodontics aims to empower patients and the community with the tools to support one another.
“Our goal is to create a completely different picture of healthcare. What has always been accepted as the norm will not happen here.”
A Luxury Experience
From the moment guests walk through the doors, they’re treated to an elevated level of hospitality. “We wanted to break the mold and bring a level of service you only see at the most prestigious names across all industries,” Dr. Cody says. Unlike traditional practices with long wait times and redundant processes, Wiktorski Orthodontics prioritizes efficiency and comfort. Offering the choice between in-office or virtual appointments along with on-demand scheduling and seamless two-way communication ensures that treatment fits into guests’ lives with minimal disruption.
Innovative Offerings Designed with You in Mind
The practice boasts a variety of unique amenities designed to enhance the guest experience:
Warm, inviting, calming office atmosphere with a comfort menu and café-style beverage bar featuring local vendors and roasters
A guest lounge that’s open even for those without an appointment
Partnering with like-minded local businesses to create a network of health and wellness partners
Virtual monitoring, reducing the need for frequent in-office visits while improving treatment outcomes
Minimal to no wait times, thanks to a thoughtfully templated schedule
Easy and flexible payment options through OrthoFi, ensuring financial accessibility for all
"We are here not only to perfect smiles, but to create lasting impacts by building a healthier, more connected community that understands ‘It Takes a Village’ to break the stigma associated with mental illness."
More Than Orthodontics: A Commitment to Mental Health
Beyond providing exceptional orthodontic care, Wiktorski Orthodontics is committed to fostering confidence and well-being in their guests. “Seeing the change in confidence from start to finish makes you realize how large of an impact we can play in someone’s life,” Dr. Cody says. His favorite part of the job? The freedom to constantly innovate and improve systems, always seeking to refine guests’ experiences. His goal is to create a lifestyle brand where exceptional orthodontics is just part of their overall reputation.
Dr. Cody says, “We are not merely in the orthodontic business serving people—we are in the people business, serving orthodontics.” As a certified trainer with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, Dr. Cody offers free Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training to the community. Through Hope Through Smiles, a unique program at Wiktorski Orthodontics, the practice pledges to sponsor YMHFA training for one individual in the community for every new patient who begins treatment.

Invisalign Misconceptions Debunked at Wiktorski Orthodontics
For years, skepticism rose about the capabilities of Invisalign, with many believing certain cases were simply beyond its reach. However, advancements in technology and technique have shattered these misconceptions. Today, there isn’t a case that can’t be treated with Invisalign—only doctors who may not feel comfortable treating complex cases with it.
Unfortunately, this has led to misinformation, making some patients believe Invisalign isn’t an option for them. The truth is, it’s not about whether Invisalign can do it—it’s about finding the right provider who has the experience and confidence to make it happen. Invisalign is the perfect choice for all ages, especially those in the 7-10 year old range when we can really help prevent them from becoming complex cases as teenagers.
