Clear Aligners in Stevens Point and Waupaca

At Central Orthodontic Specialists, we offer an advanced solution for straightening teeth—clear aligners. Designed for comfort, flexibility, and effectiveness, clear aligners provide a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. Whether you’re looking for a subtle way to improve your smile or need a treatment that fits your active lifestyle, our clear aligners offer the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, clear plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into their correct positions over time. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a great choice for those seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment option. Some of the major clear aligner brands include Invisalign, Angel Aligners, and ULab. At COS, we use Angel Aligners, a leading brand known for its innovative design, comfort, and proven results.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to shift your teeth gradually. Here’s how the process works:

  • Initial Consultation: At your first visit, our orthodontic specialists will assess your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan. Using 3D digital scans, we will map out the exact movements needed to achieve your ideal smile.

  • Custom Aligner Creation: Based on the scans, your aligners are custom-made to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to shift your teeth slightly, and you’ll switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks.

  • Wearing Aligners: Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Regular check-ups at our Stevens Point orthodontics office will monitor your progress.

  • Final Results: Once you’ve completed the series of aligners, your teeth will be in their ideal position. Retainers will be provided to help maintain your new smile.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Choosing clear aligners at Central Orthodontic Specialists offers several benefits that make them a popular choice for both teens and adults:

  • Nearly Invisible: Clear aligners blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, allowing you to straighten your smile without noticeable braces.

  • Comfortable Fit: Each aligner is designed for a precise, comfortable fit, minimizing irritation or discomfort.

  • Removable: You can remove the aligners for meals, brushing, and special occasions, offering greater flexibility than traditional braces.

  • Fewer Office Visits: Since there are no brackets or wires to adjust, patients typically require fewer in-office visits than with braces.

  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Clear aligners make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, as there are no brackets or wires to work around while brushing or flossing.

Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are an ideal choice for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the visibility of traditional braces. They are effective for treating:

  • Mild to Moderate Misalignment: Clear aligners can correct crooked teeth, gaps, and spacing issues.

  • Mild to Moderate Misalignment: Clear aligners can correct crooked teeth, gaps, and spacing issues.

  • Aesthetic Concerns: Teens and adults looking for a subtle, convenient orthodontic solution will appreciate the nearly invisible appearance of clear aligners.

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.
