Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or you’ve been with us for a while, this page will guide you through everything you need to know about starting or continuing treatment with our team in Stevens Point, WI, and Waupaca, WI.
Personalized Treatment for Your Unique Smile
No two smiles are the same — and your orthodontic care shouldn’t be either. At Central Orthodontic Specialists, we create custom treatment plans based on your goals, age, and dental needs. Whether you need braces, clear aligners, or early treatment for your child, we take time to understand what’s best for you.
From your first visit, our orthodontists — Dr. Brett Barton and Dr. Paul Ostertag — work with you to design a plan that fits your lifestyle. We use modern tools like 3D imaging and intraoral scanning to ensure every treatment is precise and comfortable.
Treatment for All Ages
We proudly treat kids, teens, and adults. Whether your child is ready for early intervention or you’re an adult who never had braces — or needs a touch-up — we’re here for you.
For kids, we offer early evaluations, expanders, and gentle braces to guide jaw and tooth development.
For teens, we provide flexible options like metal braces or clear aligners to match their busy lifestyles.
For adults, we offer discreet options like clear aligners and ceramic braces with proven effective results.
