If you are searching for a Cedarburg orthodontist, here is the first thing worth knowing. Our office is in Mequon, not Cedarburg. It is a short drive down Highway 57 past Thiensville, and Cedarburg families make it every week.
Kittleson Orthodontics is a family-founded practice that has cared for Ozaukee County families for more than 60 years. Today Dr. John Kittleson handles active care, using digital scans and a plain-spoken approach that our families have come to expect. Kiddos, teens and adults are all seen in the same office by the same team.

Who We Treat in Cedarburg
Orthodontic care is not one-size-fits-all. Here is how we approach each stage.
Kiddos
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early visits let us watch how your child's teeth and jaw are developing. In many cases no treatment is needed yet. When it is, Phase 1 care can guide growth and often make later treatment simpler. We see kiddos from the Cedarburg School District at every stage.
Teens
The teen years are still the most common time for braces. We know how full the calendar gets with school, sports and everything in between, so we hold after-school and evening slots. Metal braces, clear braces and clear aligners are all options, and we will help your family choose what actually fits.
Adults
It is never too late for a straighter smile. Many adults choose clear aligners or clear braces for something discreet at work and in photos. Whether you had braces years ago and stopped wearing the retainer, or you are starting fresh, we build the plan around your goals. We provide orthodontic care for all ages in one place.
Treatment Options for Cedarburg Families
Every smile is different, so Dr. John Kittleson builds care around your goals, your age and your lifestyle. Here is what we offer.
- Metal braces. A reliable, time-tested choice for straightening teeth and correcting bites.
- Clear braces. Tooth-colored brackets that blend in for a more discreet look.
- Clear aligners. Removable, nearly invisible trays that fit into your routine.
- Palate expanders. Gentle expansion to create more room for developing smiles.
- Early treatment for kiddos. Phase 1 care that guides growth at the right time.
- Retainers and follow-up care. Protecting your results long term, with clear retainer instructions when you finish.
Not sure which option fits? A free consult is the easiest way to find out, and there is nothing to commit to.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first visit starts with digital scans of your teeth, so no messy molds. Dr. Kittleson reviews the scans, examines your bite and jaw, and talks through what he sees. You will leave knowing what your options are and roughly how long care would take.
From there, appointments run every six to eight weeks for adjustments, most of them well under thirty minutes. When your teeth are where they should be, you move into the retainer phase and we explain exactly how to keep the results.

No. Our office is in Mequon, a short drive down Highway 57 from downtown Cedarburg. We see Cedarburg families every week and schedule around school and work hours so the drive stays easy. No referral is needed to book.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Timelines vary based on your goals and how much movement is needed. Many teens and adults finish in 12 to 24 months, though shorter and longer plans are both common. Dr. John Kittleson will give you an expected timeline at your free consult.
