Orthodontics in Paris 19th

Your dental surgeon in Colombes, near the 19th arrondissement

The 19th arrondissement of Paris and Colombes share a geographical proximity that many patients discover with surprise. From the neighbourhoods of Stalingrad, Jaures, Buttes-Chaumont or the Place des Fetes, the practice is accèssible in just 20 minutes by car and approximately 30 minutes by public transport. As a dental surgeon whose practice is limited to orthodontics, Dr Chardon regularly sees patients from the 19th arrondissement, a dynamic, family-oriented and multicultural area where the demand for orthodontic care continues to grow. The 19th has approximately 185,000 inhabitants, making it one of the most populous arrondissements in the capital, with a significant proportion of families and children at the âge to begin orthodontic follow-up.

The practice is located in Colombes (92700), just steps from the Gare du Stade on the Transilien L line. Orthodontic follow-up does not require frequent visits: check-up appointments are spaced 6 to 12 weeks apart, making the journey from the 19th entirely reasonable. Whether you are a parent whose child's dentist has recommended an orthodontic assessment, a teenâger wishing to correct dental crowding, or an adult seeking a better-aligned smile, you will find at the practice personalised, humane and rigorous care. She takes the time to listen to each patient, to understand their expectations and to propose a treatment plan adapted to their clinical situation and lifestyle.

How to reach the practice from the 19th arrondissement

By car, the journey from the 19th arrondissement is simple and direct. From the Boulevard Peripherique at the level of the Porte de la Villette or the Porte de Pantin, join the A86 towards Gennevilliers. The motorway leads you quickly to Colombes without crossing central Paris. Allow approximately 20 minutes in normal traffic conditions. Parking around the practice is easy: the residential streets of Colombes offer numérous free spaces, a considerable advantâge compared to consultations within central Paris where finding a parking space is often an ordeal.

By public transport, several routes are possible. From metro line 5 stations (Stalingrad, Jaures, Laumiere, Ourcq, Porte de Pantin), reach the Gare du Nord, then the Transilien or the RER towards La Defense and then Colombes. Another route uses line 7bis (Buttes-Chaumont, Botzaris, Place des Fetes) to Louis Blanc, then a connection to Gare Saint-Lazare from where the Transilien L directly serves the Gare du Stade in Colombes. The total journey is approximately 30 minutes, including connections, which remains very reasonable for an appointment that occurs only every six to twelve weeks.

For those who prefer sustainable transport, the journey by bicycle along the Canal de l'Ourcq and then the Canal Saint-Denis offers a pleasant and largely cycle-path-equipped route. From the Bassin de la Villette, you follow the canal to Saint-Denis, then reach Colombes via the banks of the Seine. The route, approximately 14 kilometrès, takes 40 to 45 minutes and is a pleasant alternative on fine days, especially for those who live near the Canal de l'Ourcq or La Villette.

The 19th arrondissement and its residents

The 19th arrondissement is a district with many faces, one of the largest and most vibrant in Paris. It is home to iconic landmarks that are the pride of its residents and attract visitors from around the world. The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, with its 25 hectares of hilly greenery, its lake, its Temple de la Sibylle and its artificial grottoes, is one of the most beautiful gardens in the capital. It is the green lung of north-eastern Paris, a place where neighbourhood families gather at weekends, where children play and where runners traverse the sloped pathways. This park perfectly embodies the spirit of the 19th: a working-class arrondissement that cultivates quality of life.

The Bassin de la Villette and the Canal de l'Ourcq form another major axis of the arrondissement. Since the redevelopment of the banks, the basin has become a place for strolling, summer swimming and year-round conviviality. The barges, terraces, open-air cinemas and water activities make it a living space in its own right. Many families with children have moved into the new buildings lining the canal, helping to rejuvenate the area's population and increase the demand for paediatric and orthodontic care.

The 19th is also home to the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie, the largest science museum in Europe, and the Philharmonie de Paris, a world-renowned concert hall désignéd by Jean Nouvel. These two institutions, located in the Parc de la Villette, attract millions of visitors each year and contribute to the cultural influence of the arrondissement. The neighbourhood around La Villette is in constant évolution, with new residential developments, coworking spaces and shops that energise the urban fabric.

The population of the 19th is young, diverse and family-oriented. Primary schools and secondary schools are numérous, and sports and cultural associations are very active. It is an arrondissement where children grow up in a stimulating environment, and where parents are attentive to their children's oral health. Dr Chardon sees families from every neighbourhood of the 19th: parents from the Manin-Jaures area seeking a first assessment for their 7-year-old, teenâgers from the Place des Fetes whose previous orthodontist has moved away, and young professionals from the Riquet area who want to correct slight crowding with clear aligners. This diversity enriches her practice and drives her to constantly adapt her approach.

Orthodontic treatments offered to patients from the 19th

The practice is exclusively dedicated to orthodontics, meaning that every consultation, every procédure and every clinical décision falls within this specialty. She offers the full range of modern orthodontic techniques, adapted to every âge and indication. Clear aligners are increasingly popular with patients from the 19th, particularly working adults employed in the cultural sector, hospitality or the businesses around La Villette. These transparent, removable and comfortable trays correct crowding, interdental gaps, rotations and mild occlusal discrepancies with no visible impact on the smile during treatment. Follow-up takes place every 8 to 10 weeks, a rhythm perfectly compatible with a journey from the 19th.

Multi-bracket braces remain the référence technique for teenâgers and for complex adult cases. She offers ceramic brackets, virtually invisible, which meet the aesthetic expectations of the most demanding patients, as well as metal brackets, more resistant, for treatments requiring significant tooth movements. In both cases, she ensures that the patient fully understands how their appliance works, the hygiene instructions to follow and the stâges ahead. A well-informed teenâger is a cooperative teenâger, and cooperation is the key to a succèssful treatment.

Interceptive orthodontics holds a central place in her practice. For children from the 19th, she recommends a first consultation from the âge of 6 or 7, when the first permanent teeth appear. At this âge, it is possible to detect and correct abnormalities that, if ignored, would require far more extensive treatment during adolescence: a palate that is too narrow, a receding or protruding lower jaw, permanent teeth blocked by lack of space, or persistent sucking habits. A short interceptive treatment of a few months can save years of later treatment. This is an investment she strongly recommends to families in the 19th.

For the most complex cases involving a significant skeletal discrepancy between the jaws, she offers combined orthodontic-surgical treatment in close collaboration with leading maxillofacial surgeons. These treatments, which concern a minority of patients, require rigorous planning and attentive follow-up that she implements with the highest standards.

Treatment process for a patient from the 19th

The care pathway begins with an initial assessment consultation. This appointment, lasting approximately 45 minutes, includes a complète clinical examination, intraoral and facial photographs, panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs, and if necessary digital impressions. This assessment allows her to establish a precise diagnosis and présent a détailed treatment plan, with the different therapeutic options, the projected timeline and the budget. She provides a clear estimate and explains the arrangements for coverâge by Social Security and supplementary health insurance. You leave with all the information needed to make your décision at your own pace, without any pressure.

Once treatment has begun, follow-up appointments take place every 6 to 12 weeks depending on the technique used and the treatment phase. For a patient from the 19th, this means at most one trip per month to Colombes, often fewer. Each visit is an opportunity to check the progress of treatment, adjust the appliance, change the aligners if applicable, and answer all questions. Between appointments, she remains reachable by phone or e-mail for any emergency or query. The relationship of trust between practitioner and patient is at the heart of her approach.

The retention phase is the final step, but it is just as crucial as the active treatment. Once the teeth are aligned and the jaws in correct position, the result must be stabilised. Depending on the case, she places a bonded retainer wire on the inner surface of the teeth or prescribes a night retainer tray. Regular checks during the first year, then annually, ensure that the result achieved is lasting. Her commitment does not end when the appliance is removed: she supports patients over the long term to préservé their smile.
