Meet Dr. Brian
Dr. Brian M. Michel
Dr. Brian’s path to orthodontics began many years ago in the patient chair at Vivid Orthodontics. Experiencing firsthand how a confident smile could change the way he felt about himself sparked a deep interest in the art and science behind such a transformation. His experience led him to pursue dentistry and advanced orthodontic training at Marquette University, where he completed his undergraduate, dental, and specialty education. Today, Dr. Brian is proud to have come full circle, helping others achieve the same confidence that once inspired him.
Dr. Brian is board-certified through the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). He is also an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), American Dental Association, Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, Wisconsin Society of Orthodontists, Wisconsin Dental Association, and the Winnebago County Dental Society.
Dr. Brian’s approach to orthodontics is simple: treat every patient the way he’d want his own family treated. He focuses on clear communication, personalized care, and using modern techniques and technology to make treatment as effective and comfortable as possible. He believes that great orthodontic care isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s about building trust, confidence, and lasting relationships with patients and their families.
Outside the office, Dr. Brian enjoys performing in and attending local theater productions, golfing, cooking, and cheering on Wisconsin sports teams. Most of all, he loves spending time with his wife, Kate, and their two sons, Henry and James.
