Services
Braces
We offer traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces for comprehensive teeth alignment. Our state-of-the-art bracket systems reduce treatment time while maintaining effectiveness for both children and adults. These fixed appliances address complex bite issues and spacing problems through gradual tooth movement.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides removable, nearly invisible aligners for discreet teeth straightening. Using 3D imaging technology, we create customized treatment plans that allow patients to see results before starting treatment. This option suits adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions without traditional braces.
Incognito
Incognito braces offer fixed orthodontic treatment on the inner surfaces of teeth. These custom-fitted appliances provide effective alignment while remaining virtually invisible. Ideal for professionals and image-conscious patients requiring comprehensive bite correction without visible appliances.
Early Treatment
We specialize in interceptive orthodontics for children aged 7-10. This early intervention addresses jaw development issues and creates space for permanent teeth. Our approach reduces future extraction needs and corrects bite problems during optimal growth phases.
Orthodontic Consultation
Our comprehensive first visit includes oral examination, digital imaging, and treatment planning. Patients receive detailed reports with x-rays and photos, along with financial planning options. This hour-long consultation ensures informed decision-making about orthodontic care pathways.

This orthodontist is terrible! They gave me a plate that was supposed to be for a year. Before we gave them any money they were very friendly and nice. This suddenly changed as soon as they took my money. They wouldn't remind you when your appointment was, 2 hour waits in line just for 5 minute check-ups, and to put it on top, she blamed me when plate didn't fit 3 months after she said I would have it on for! She yelled at me told me it was my fault. This orthodontist Is outrageous and I suggest looking else where. Extremely unprofessional

Amazing experience! I highly recommend Chisholm Orthodontics. My experience with Neena and Sam was amazing. All my appointments have been super pleasant and they are so welcoming! I was super insecure about my teeth and my bite, so I decided to get it checked out, lucky enough I was referred to Neena, she said I needed braces for 12 months and lower jaw surgery so thats exactly what we did. The entire experience was great and the surgeon Dr Benjamin Graves who Neena sent me to was absolutely amazing and I honestly couldnt be happier with my results!! I am more confident than ever with my

Great experience with Dr Chisholm and her team. Dr Chisholm tailored a plan to accommodate my wedding half way through the treatment and the results were amazing. The staff are always welcoming and genuinely care for their clients. Highly recommend.

Spend at least 20 minutes waiting every time and thats just in the waiting room, with more time waiting for the orthodontist in the chair. Not not mention braces that continually break setting the process back weeks at a time and her love of 'polishing' away your teeth. Finally get my braces off and the dentist tells be I need a filling to fix her poor 'polishing' job and that the retaining wire hasn't been attached properly. I guess the positive is that I have mostly straight teeth now...

The staff sign you up with a welcoming smile, in subsequent visit, most of the time you have wait for long hours, on subsequent visit the staffs attitude changes and are very rude. Handling is rough and not understand the our pain, not professional . Would not recommend, Many good Orthodontics in Adelaide.
