At Bruce Orthodontics, we are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Dr. Bruce and our staff enjoy getting to know our patients and their families, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations. In addition to getting the best quality treatment in the fastest way possible, we have a great team who are a blast to be around. Combined, they have more than 80 years of orthodontics experience. They love the patients and are so much fun to work with
Dr. Bruce and our team believe that orthodontics should be an enjoyable experience. After all, youre making a positive change in your life, one that will last the rest of your life, and you should enjoy yourself while doing so.
We try to make braces fun by giving rewards for everything from having good hygiene and not breaking brackets to sharing pictures on social media and wearing rubber bands. We provide patterns of colored ties for all the kids and tell lots of funny jokes. Our office is always full of smiles!
There is no other place where you will find a team that truly cares about you, and where the emphasis is on building a personal relationship based on trust. We want you to feel safe and comfortable, with no judgmental attitudes, and establish goals together to provide the care you need.
I help Dr. Bruce with every unique case, and assist with removing and placing wires, taking impressions, and pouring models. I also help as a lab tech and take turns answering the phones, or scanning files into the computer.

I went into see Dr. Bruce and initially it was expected for me to have surgery to correct my jaw line. Dr. Bruce did some amazing work that helped me avoid surgery and still fix my jaw line. Always feel welcomed when I come in, the girls up front always know me by first name. The staff always treats you friendly; they are incredibly efficient at their jobs too. All around fantastic experience at Bruce Orthodontics.

We were traveling when my son had an emergency with his Herbst appliance. We looked up Minocqua-area orthos and called Dr. Bruce who responded right away, even though it was after hours. He walked us through a simple and cost-effective solution to take care of the issue so my son could enjoy his vacation. Thank you, Dr. Bruce! We truly appreciate the care and assistance you offered us!
