I have been going to Dr. Chira since I was 12. When I first went there I had terribly crowded teeth with no where to go, as well as I would wake up in the middle of the night every night, though I didn’t know that this was related just yet. During the first visit, Dr. Chira gave me a full examination and then requested that I see a sleep specialist. After the appointment with the sleep specialist, I learned that I had both sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. However, they told me that it would most likely get better after going through the process with Dr. Chira, and that it did. I started off with expanders for a little while and then moved on to braces. After the expanders I stopped waking up in the middle of the night, which Dr. Chira informed me was due to my airway being expanded. This was one of many major wins. I had braces for over two years, which yes was annoying, but my teeth now look completely different to how they did when I first arrived at the office. The expanders allowed my canines, which were stuck in my gums, to have a place to go. My crooked teeth were straightened. Most importantly of all, my two front teeth were worn down so much that they were only as long as the teeth beside them. Dr. Chira put a kind of bonding glue on them so that they would be the correct length, and they look tremendously better than they ever did before. I absolutely love my smile and my teeth now, which are both thanks to Dr. Chira. I will say that you have to be willing to put in the work as well, by wearing your rubber bands and your retainers after you get your braces off, if you want your teeth to look as good as they possibly can. It might be annoying at first, but in the long term it is absolutely worth it. I completely recommend Dr. Chira if you have absolutely any concerns with your teeth!

I have been going to Dr. Chira's office since I was in second grade. I have had complicated teeth and breathing problems from a very young age and I can only think of good things to say about Dr. Chira's entire staff and what they have done for me. I turn 19 in a month and having tried other orthodontics offices in the state, I can say this is the one that will make you feel most comfortable in what decisions you have to make regarding your health. They genuinely care about you and make you feel like you are in good hands. Highly recommend!

We couldn't be more pleased with the care that our daughter has received at Chira Orthodontics! We are so grateful that we chose early intervention rather than waiting as it had been recommended by another practice. Dr. Chria is an exceptional orthodontists who truly stands out. Her office is both professional and inviting, creating a relaxed atmosphere for patients. What makes Dr. Chira a unique provider is her extensive knowledge and compassionate approach to care. She doesn't just focus on teeth - she addresses posture, breathing, and developmental concerns, offering a truly comprehensive treatment experience. Her skills and precision are unmatched, and her dedication to helping patients achieve long term results is evident in every visit. The professional team she works with is equally kind, organized and supportive, ensuring each appointment runs smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Chira's care and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment that combines skills, heart, and deep understanding of how oral health impacts the entire body.

I'm here to tell you how I discovered Dr. Chira. After having surgery to correct my jaw and using orthodontic braces, my teeth continued to move and I was almost losing them. When my dentist recommended that I visit Dr. Chira for a diagnosis, that's when she recommended that I use the wizard who would solve my problem. I did this for months until I got the result I needed and I was finally able to align my teeth. Today I am stable and no longer have to worry about losing my teeth. I am very grateful to her for her competence and understanding of my problem. She is definitely the best, and I could not recommend her enough.
