About Orthodontics

The field of orthodontics is most commonly associated with treatment for pre-teens and teenagers, but an increasing amount of adults are choosing to correct jaw irregularities (malocclusions) and misaligned teeth with orthodontics. It is now estimated that approximately one third of all orthodontic patients are adults. The major advantage of treating irregularities at a young age is that orthodontic appliances are widely accepted in youth and ideal alignment can be achieved before adulthood. Most orthodontists agree, however, that it is never too late to get braces.

Aside from the pleasing aesthetic of a beautifully straight smile, correcting malocclusion and teeth misalignment is beneficial because it can make your teeth easier to care for which can result in decreased risk of tooth decay. Also, you can reduce the wear and tear on your teeth when they are in good functional alignment.

I, my significant other, and my sister all had our braces "re-done" here as adults after all previously having braces as children. The staff is very professional, the doctors are amazing, and the costs are very reasonable compared to competitors. We all give Kittleson the highest scores possible in every area.

Our son attends Concordia, Mequon and began experiencing problems with his 'permanent' retainer coming loose. We received very little advice or help when we called the ortho in Rockford, IL where we got his braces (but that's another review!). We gave Kittleson's a call and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They scheduled an appointment for to fix the repair even though he was not a regular patient. They also charged far less than the quote we received from our Rockford ortho even though our son had been their patient. We are very impressed with Kittleson's and grateful for the help they gave us!!
