Your Smile, Your Way
At Kittleson Orthodontics in Mequon, Dr. John Kittleson uses the newest ways to straighten your smile. You can choose from braces or clear aligners that make your treatment simpler and more comfortable.
A Smarter Start for Your Braces
Digital indirect bonding uses 3D tools to plan out where each bracket should go before it ever touches your teeth. This gives you a smoother process and sets you up for a quicker path to a straighter smile.
More Accurate Placement
We map out every bracket using a virtual model of your teeth so they fit just right on the first try. This kind of detail helps your treatment move along in a steady, organized way.
Shorter Office Visits
By bonding all your brackets at once, you spend less time in the chair. It's a time-saving method that lets you get back to your day with minimal hassle.
Added Confidence
Because everything is planned ahead, there's no guessing about where or how your brackets go on. You can feel sure about the process, knowing it's built around making your new smile happen as smoothly as possible.
All About Palatal Expanders in Mequon
When you learn your child may need a palatal expander, you might be curious about what it does. This small device gently widens the upper jaw to help with crossbites, crowding, and more.
Palatal Expanders Explained
A palatal expander sits on the roof of the mouth and applies gentle pressure over time to create extra space. It's especially helpful for kids and teens because their jaws are still developing, but adults can also see benefits in some cases.
By creating more room, this treatment can cut down on the chance of needing bigger procedures later on, like tooth extractions or surgery. You'll wear the expander for a few months before it's removed, leaving a better setup for braces or aligners.
