The Difference Is Family

If you are looking for orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child in Chesapeake, you will quickly realize that you have many options. So how do you know where you should go? At Christenson Family Orthodontics, our core values are Family, Service, and Community. With that focus, we strive to provide premier, individualized orthodontic treatment to each patient. Here are a few things that separate us from the rest of the orthodontic practices and dental practices that offer orthodontics in Chesapeake.

At a Glance

Dr. Oakley loves building the self-esteem of her patients of all ages through attractive, healthy smiles with her father. The pure delight on her patients’ faces when they see their new smile is why Dr. Oakley decided to become an orthodontist.

How We Help

Drawing of teeth with braces

Traditional metal braces or Clear braces are the most common for children, teens and adults. These braces are made from high-grade stainless steel or a new innovative ceramic material and come with the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a fun, unique smile! Braces are smaller, more comfortable than ever before!

We are an Invisalign Provider

Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to administer Invisalign treatment.

While most young children do not need a first phase of orthodontic treatment, some issues are best and most effectively addressed when your child is young. This is why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first see an orthodontist at the age of 7. At this age, children still have a lot of growing to do, and Drs. Christenson and Oakley can use your child’s already existing growth potential to improve her bite.

Great orthodontist to go to for your braces in Great Bridge.Staff and ortho dentists(s) are very nice and a pleasure to work with during your transition into and out of your braces. (Dad and daughter team). (Great).Office environment is very welcoming and friendly.I had an emergency situation and Dr. Christenson contacted me back right away when my son got hit with an over thrown baseball to the mouth. Also, he followed up with us as well after a day or so to make sure my son was still okay.I would highly recommend this office for anyone opting to go through the transition of braces for kids or adults.👍

Always friendly, professional & my daughters smile is so beautiful! She had a really bad overbite & upper & lower palerts were not wide enough. After a few months of treatment you could really see a difference!! I'm so glad we chose Dr Christenson. I highly recommend them!

We have been with Christenson Family Orthodontics since I was a teenager. When it was time for my own children to start orthodontic treatment, I knew exactly where to take them. This place has always been the most welcoming office. They take the best care of us and treat everyone like family. The after hours calls to check on their patients following the new placement of tricky brackets or new spacers is the extra mile that we as parents appreciate for our kids! I recommend this practice to everyone who asks for an orthodontic referral. Not to mention the quality of treatment is top notch and the smiles you'll have after treatment while speak volumes!

This practice is amazing!! Dr. Christensen and all his staff are very informative and caring. They have made this process very easy. From our original consultation, Dr. Christensen developed a plan to correct our daughter's teeth. They have been there to walk us through each step and now we are right on track to a beautiful smile. We would recommend Dr. Christensen to anyone!!
