Kittleson Orthodontics has cared for families in this corner of Wisconsin for more than 60 years, and our office in Mequon sits close to most of the communities we serve. From here we see kiddos, teens and adults across Ozaukee County and down into the Milwaukee County North Shore.
Find your community below to see what care looks like close to home. Every first visit is a free consult, with digital scans instead of messy impressions and no obligation to move forward. Dr. John Kittleson is a board-certified orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and he will walk you through your treatment options in plain language before you decide anything.
Mequon
Mequon is home. Our office sits on North Port Washington Road, minutes from Homestead High School and the Range Line Road corridor, which makes it easy to fit a visit around the school day. A lot of our Mequon families have been with us for years, and plenty of them started as kiddos and came back later with kiddos of their own. You can see the office, get directions and check current hours on our Mequon office page.
Grafton
Grafton sits a short run up I-43 from us, close enough that families often stop in on the way home from school or work. We hold after-school and evening slots, which is usually the first thing Grafton parents ask about. Braces, clear aligners and early treatment for younger kiddos are all handled here in Mequon, so one trip covers the whole family. Our Grafton page covers what to expect and answers the questions we hear most.
Whitefish Bay
Whitefish Bay sits south of us along the Port Washington Road corridor, a straightforward drive north for families on the Silver Spring Drive side of the village. It is the one community on this list outside Ozaukee County, and we see steady interest from North Shore families who want in-person care rather than mail-order aligners. Our Whitefish Bay page walks through the process step by step, from the first digital scan to the retainer phase.
Cedarburg
Cedarburg families come down Highway 57 through Thiensville to reach us, a straight shot past the historic downtown and Cedar Creek. We treat kiddos from the Cedarburg School District at every stage, from an age seven evaluation through teen braces and clear aligners. If your dentist has suggested seeing an orthodontist, no referral is needed. Book directly and we will coordinate with them if anything needs attention before care begins. Our Cedarburg page has more on what to expect.
Thiensville
Thiensville is about as close as it gets. The village sits right inside our footprint and shares the Mequon-Thiensville School District, so most families here are a few minutes from the office. That makes short appointments genuinely short. A bracket check or a quick adjustment does not have to eat an entire afternoon, which matters most during the school year when everyone's schedule is tight.
Port Washington
Port Washington families take I-43 south, past Grafton, to reach the office. It is the longest drive on this list, which is why we would rather plan around it than pretend it is not there. Tell us what works when you book and we will find a time that fits the trip. Kiddos, teens and adults from Port Washington and the surrounding lakefront communities get the same options as everyone else we see.
One Office, the Whole Region
Some practices spread across several locations and rotate a doctor between them. We do it the other way. Everything happens in Mequon, which means the same team knows your name, your file and where you are in your plan every time you walk in.
It also means Dr. Kittleson is the one checking your progress at every appointment rather than whoever happens to be covering that office that week. For families driving in from Grafton or Port Washington, that consistency is usually what makes the trip worth it.
