The 5th arrondissement and its residents
The 5th arrondissement is the intellectual heart of Paris. The Sorbonne, founded in 1257, has given the entire district its character: the Quartier Latin derives its name from the Latin once spoken by students and scholars in the area. Today, the arrondissement is home to several prestigious institutions, including the École Normale Supérieure, the College de France, the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (Jussieu) and the Institut du Monde Arabe. This concentration of academic institutions gives the neighbourhood a distinctive intellectual atmosphere.
The Pantheon, dominating the hill of Sainte-Genevieve, is the resting place of France's greatest figures: Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, Zola, Curie. Its imposing neoclassical dome is visible from much of the arrondissement and serves as a landmark for all residents. Nearby, the Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest streets in Paris, offers a lively market atmosphere with its food stalls, cheese shops and wine merchants. This pedestrian-friendly street is beloved by families and is a focal point of neighbourhood life.
The Jardin des Plantes, France's principal botanical garden, occupies 28 hectares along the Seine and includes the Natural History Museum, greenhouses and a small zoo. Families with children frequent this remarkable green space year-round. The Arenes de Lutece, a Gallo-Roman amphitheatre from the 1st century, and the medieval Musee de Cluny with its famous tapestries of The Lady and the Unicorn, add further historical depth to this exceptional arrondissement.
The population of the 5th is characterised by a high proportion of students, academics, healthcare professionals and families with school-âge children. The numérous reputable schools and lycees in the area attract families who prioritise education and quality of care. This educated, discerning population appreciates orthodontic practitioners who take the time to explain, who use the latest technology and who offer a truly personalised approach. Dr Chardon meets these expectations with a practice désignéd for thorough, unhurried consultations.
Orthodontic treatments offered to patients from the 5th
Dr Chardon's practice is exclusively dedicated to orthodontics, allowing her to offer the full spectrum of modern treatment options. Clear aligners are particularly popular with residents of the 5th arrondissement, including university lecturers, researchers, students and professionals who need a discréét solution. The custom-made transparent trays progressively realign the teeth without any visible appliance, and can be removed for meals and oral hygiene. The treatment is planned digitally from start to finish, ensuring precision and predictability.
Multi-bracket braces are recommended for complex cases that require precise three-dimensional control of tooth movements. Dr Chardon offers ceramic brackets that are virtually invisible, as well as traditional metal brackets for situations demanding maximum mechanical strength. For the many teenâgers in the 5th attending nearby lycees, she provides a supportive, âge-appropriate approach that encourâges cooperation throughout treatment.
Interceptive orthodontics is available for children from the âge of 6-7. Given the high proportion of families in the 5th, this early détection service is particularly valued. A short intervention at this âge can correct a narrow palate, guide jaw growth or create space for permanent teeth, potentially avoiding more complex treatment later. Dr Chardon recommends that parents schedule a first assessment around âge 6 or 7, even without visible concerns.
For adult patients with skeletal jaw discrepancies, she also offers combined orthodontic-surgical treatment in partnership with maxillofacial surgeons. Her exclusive focus on orthodontics ensures the most precise orthodontic preparation, which is key to succèssful surgical outcomes.

Between visits, she is available by phone or e-mail should any question or minor issue arise.
