Dr. Dovorany is married, with three boys. He currently lives in Wausau, WI with his wife, Renee, and their three sons: Nick, Charlie, and Frank. He enjoys spending time with his family, traveling to see his boys play hockey, and entertaining friends and colleagues. He is an avid hunter and fisherman who loves the great outdoors. Each member of Dr. Dovoranys family has worn braces, including Dr. Dovorany himself! This means that he completely understands the unique challenges and advantages of wearing orthodontic braces.
Dr. Dovorany has been practicing orthodontics in Wausau for 25 years, and is a member of several local, state, national, and international dental and orthodontic associations. He is the presiding President of the Spear Study Club in Central Wisconsin, and devotes an extraordinary amount of his time exchanging knowledge and collaborating with dental peers on patient care. He is also a provider for the Smiles Change Lives organization, a nonprofit through which donated orthodontic treatment is provided for certain segments of the underserved population.
Braces create small ledges, nooks and crannies for food deposits, which can lead to cavities and gum problems if you dont do a good job of brushing and flossing. Brush and floss thoroughly, but gently, so that you do not break or loosen your arch wires or brackets.
All Dovorany patients complete the retention phase of orthodontic treatment. This is the phase after the braces are removed, when they can move from their corrected position. To prevent this from happening, patients typically wear a removable retainer full time for three months, then at night for nine months. A bonded retainer is worn permanently.
During the first year of retention, you will still visit our orthodontic office periodically. After the first year of retention, you no longer need to visit our office, but it is your responsibility to wear your retainer as Dr. Dovorany prescribes.
A Rapid Maxillary Expander (RME) helps widen a patients upper jaw over time, by widening the patients palate. A parent or patient adjusts the Expander daily, according to Dr. Dovoranys instructions. Once the palate has been widened enough, the Expander is left in place for about four months without further adjustment.
If you have any questions regarding the care of your appliances during orthodontic treatment, please call one of our Wausua-area offices. We are here to help you. It is imperative that your appliances are properly maintained to insure that the treatment process runs on schedule, and that your smile looks superb.

I was a patient of Dr. Dovorany's years ago and now both of my older children are. Then and now, everyone is so friendly and incredibly accommodating. The kids get into their appointments on time or often early. Dr. Dovorany engages them in conversation that makes them feel at ease, and we've already seen major improvements in their teeth. He truly is an expert in his profession! We strongly recommend Dovorany Orthodontics!

Dr. D and his staff are amazing. They are always so friendly and welcoming from the minute you walk in the door for your consult, all of the in between appointments and right up until the day you get your braces off. Being a patient in my late 30's, I was apprehensive about being seen as "too old" to be receiving orthodontic treatment but this office and staff member never made me feel that way. My daughter will require braces and her care will put in the hands of Dr. D and his staff because because of how compassionate each and every one of them are.
