Imagine enjoying a visit to the orthodontist – yes, there’s a little bit of magic happening just outside of downtown Madison at our office! Come on in and we’ll show you what we mean.

Dr. Joshua Whetten
Orthodontist & Invisalign® Specialist
What I enjoy most about being an orthodontist is the sense of self-worth that patients feel when they see their smile transformation. Being able to walk the path with them is gratifying.
Make an appointment
Ready to come meet us? We are located on Cottage Grove Road in Madison, about three blocks east of Culver’s off Highway 51/Stoughton Road and Cottage Grove Road. There’s a Pizza Hut right across the street from our office. Whether you’re a student or a working adult, we’ve got you covered! Our office is conveniently close to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW-Health, Great Lakes Higher Education, Wisconsin Technical College System, Edgewood College, WPS Insurance, and many State of Wisconsin offices. We also serve East High School and Lafayette High School in the Madison Metro District and several other school districts, including Monona Grove, Deerfield, Stoughton, and McFarland.
Orthodontics for every age
Like we said above, orthodontic treatment is a great choice for all ages – you’re never too young or too old to want a healthy, happy smile. Children should have their first evaluation at Prairie Grove Orthodontics around the age of seven. The purpose of early evaluation is to detect any issues that might require early treatment, hopefully saving you time and money.
Of course, a large percentage of orthodontic treatment occurs during the teen or preteen years when most permanent teeth are fully in. We also serve many college students and adults who want orthodontic treatment for a variety of personal and professional reasons. Today’s modern braces and Invisalign clear aligners can work for most any age and lifestyle, including yours!



What sets our Madison office apart
Come see how our patient-centered approach makes all the difference. We also offer easy and flexible $0 down and 0% interest financing plans, along with an orthodontic price-match guarantee. Really, there’s no reason to go anywhere else!
If you live in East Madison, Monona, Prairie Grove, Cottage Grove, Ridgewood, or the surrounding areas, we hope you will visit us soon to get started on your orthodontic treatment and perfect smile.
