Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces have been a trusted orthodontic solution for decades. Made from high-quality stainless steel, metal braces are extremely durable and effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues. These braces consist of metal brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a thin archwire that is regularly adjusted to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions.

Benefits of Metal Braces

Highly Effective: Metal braces provide precise control over tooth movement, making them a reliable solution for even the most complex cases.
Durable: Built to last, metal braces can withstand the active lifestyles of both children and adults.
Customizable: Patients, especially kids and teens, can choose colorful elastics to personalize their braces and make the experience more enjoyable.

At COS, we proudly use braces from American Orthodontics, a renowned brand known for its high-quality products made right here in Wisconsin. These braces are designed for comfort and efficiency, ensuring your treatment progresses smoothly and delivers excellent results.

Clear Braces: A Discreet Alternative

For patients looking for a more subtle option, clear braces offer the same effectiveness as traditional metal braces but with a more discreet appearance. Clear braces are made from ceramic materials that blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable. This makes clear braces a popular choice for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the prominent look of metal brackets.

What Makes Clear Braces Different?

Discreet Appearance: Clear braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets, making them much less visible than metal braces.
Effective Treatment: Like metal braces, clear braces are effective at treating a variety of orthodontic issues, from mild misalignment to more complex cases.
Ideal for Teens and Adults: Many teens and adults prefer clear braces for their subtle appearance, allowing them to maintain a more natural look during treatment.

At Central Orthodontic Specialists, we proudly offer both traditional metal braces and clear braces for kids, teens, and adults. No matter your age or dental needs, our team at Stevens Point orthodontics will provide the expert care needed to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

My family was traveling from Germany over the holidays back to Central WI when my daughter had a bracket break. I have to sincerely thank Dr. Brett Barton, DDS, MS for his incredible willingness to take time away from his family during the holidays when the clinic was closed to come in and help us. His service went above and beyond our expectations, we highly recommend anyone looking for caring and kind Orthodontic care to consider this office. Sending all the best from Bavaria!

Dr. Ostertag is kind, thoughtful and a wonderful orthodontist. My daughter had some previous poor experiences with dental and ortho and he won her over which is not easy. He had more than one possible approach to her treatment and that made all the difference.

I am from Florida and am in town for work here in Wi. The hooks for my rubber bands were tearing up my mouth and I needed someone to look at it ASAP as I wouldn’t be home for another two weeks. They were able to take a look at me and help me out same day. The staff were wonderful and the doctor was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this practice if you’re looking for orthodontic needs!

We have had a fantastic experience with Dr. Kreul over the years. He did my first daughter's braces and we had many free consultations for the years preceding her braces. He has been doing free consultations for several years already on my younger daughter. He is always kind, gentle with my children, and respectful. His staff has always been professional in the years since we've been seeing him. I would highly recommend this orthodontist.

I have taken my son here twice for FREE consulations, which is awesome, and will have a few more before his braces are put on. The staff is always very friendly and informative. The building is well maintained and is very nice inside. I would recommended to friends and family.
