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.

You deserve a treatment plan that's just for you

Your smile is unique to you, so your treatment plan should be 100% unique to you as well. It all starts with a free consultation – no commitment required. This is our chance to get to know you and your concerns with your mouth, so we can come up with a treatment plan that knocks your socks off. Your consultation includes free digital X-rays and a free iTero® 3D mouth scan. (Did we say free?) During your one-on-one time with our orthodontist, we’ll learn about your lifestyle, needs, and goals. Then we’ll present your personalized treatment options, so you can make the best choice for – you guessed it – you.

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!
