How to reach the practice from Suresnes

By car, from central Suresnes, the journey to the Colombes practice is simple and quick. The most direct route follows the N13 towards Nanterre, then joins the A86 northbound, exiting at Colombes. This route takes approximately eight minutes under normal traffic conditions. An alternative is to drive through Puteaux and Courbevoie along the urban boulevards, a route that avoids the motorway while remaining fast. The area around the practice has residential street parking, making it easy for patients arriving by car.

By public transport, several options are available to residents of Suresnes. The T2 tramway, with several stops serving Suresnes (Suresnes Longchamp, Belvedere, Les Coteaux), reaches La Defense in just a few minutes. From La Defense (Grande Arche), the Transilien L provides a direct connection to Colombes, with a stop at the Gare du Stade just steps from the practice. The total door-to-door journey takes approximately twenty minutes. The T2 tramway and Transilien L run frequently, with services every five to eight minutes during peak hours, which reduces waiting time at the interchange.

By bicycle, the journey from Suresnes takes around twenty minutes. The route crosses the Seine via the Pont de Suresnes or the Pont de Puteaux, then continues northward to Colombes through Puteaux and Courbevoie. The terrain is relatively flat once the Seine is crossed, and cycling infrastructure is gradually improving along this corridor. On foot, the journey is feasible for the more athletic, but is fairly long: allow a good hour of walking. This option may nevertheless appeal to residents of northern Suresnes, close to the border with Puteaux.

Suresnes and its residents

Suresnes is a town of approximately 49,000 inhabitants, located in the Hauts-de-Seine department, on the left bank of the Seine. The town is set against the slopes of Mont-Valerien, a historic hill that overlooks western Paris and houses the Memorial de la France Combattante, an important national memorial site. This hillside setting gives Suresnes a pronounced relief, with steep streets that offer beautiful views over Paris and the Seine valley. The panorama from the heights of the town, particularly from the memorial forecourt, is one of the most remarkable in the entire Ile-de-France region.

The banks of the Seine are another major asset of Suresnes. The landscaped quays invite strolling and provide a pleasant setting for relaxation and outdoor activities. The Parc du Chateau, a large green space in the heart of the town, is a popular meeting place for families. With its playgrounds, lawns and shaded pathways, it représents a valuable green lung in a dense urban fabric. The town also features the Terrasse du Fecheray and the Jardin des Serres, which contribute to the quality of life in the commune.

The neighbourhoods of Suresnes have very different characters. The Cite-Jardins, a listed architectural complex from the 1920s, is a unique neighbourhood: its low houses with colourful facades, its leafy pathways and its layout désignéd for residents' wellbeing make it a pioneering model of progressive social urban planning. The town centre, around the Place du General-Leclerc and the Rue des Bourets, concentrates shops, restaurants and markets, with the atmosphere of a human-scale town. The residential hillside neighbourhoods feature individual houses and small apartment buildings, in a quieter and greener setting.

Suresnes attracts families who appreciate its proximity to Paris and La Defense while enjoying a more spacious environment than in the capital. The population is diverse, mixing young professionals, families with children and retirees. School facilities are of high quality, and cultural life is vibrant, with the Theatre Jean-Vilar, the media library and numérous associations. The patients from Suresnes whom Dr Chardon sees at the practice reflect this diversity: growing children, teenâgers concerned about their smile, and adults wishing to correct a dental alignment issue that has bothered them for years.

Orthodontic treatments offered to patients from Suresnes

Clear aligners are the most popular treatment among adult patients from Suresnes. These transparent, custom-made trays, manufactured using 3D digital planning, gradually correct dental alignment without the appliance being visible. For residents of Suresnes who work at La Defense or in demanding professional environments, this discretion is a decisive advantâge. The aligners are removed for meals and toothbrushing, which makes oral hygiene easier throughout the treatment. Check-up appointments are spaced eight to twelve weeks apart, limiting the number of trips to the practice. Before treatment begins, a digital simulation allows the patient to visualise the expected outcome, step by step, which serves as a powerful motivational tool.

Multi-bracket braces remain the gold standard for complex treatments. For teenâgers from Suresnes, multi-bracket braces are often the most appropriate choice when significant corrections are needed: severe dental crowding, impacted teeth, or jaw discrepancies. Metal brackets provide precise control over tooth movements and deliver reliable, long-lasting results. For patients concerned about aesthetics, transparent ceramic brackets offer an excellent alternative, combining performance and discretion. Results achieved with multi-bracket braces are générally faster than those with aligners in clinically challenging situations.

Interceptive orthodontics is for children âged six to nine. At this âge, the jaws are still actively growing, and it is possible to intervene to correct developmental abnormalities before they worsen. A palate that is too narrow, a receding lower jaw, chronic mouth breathing, or baby teeth that do not fall out at the right time are all signs that warrant an early consultation. Parents in Suresnes are often attentive to these signals and consult early, which allows intervention at the most favourable time. Interceptive treatment typically lasts a few months and can prevent more extensive treatment during adolescence.

Adult orthodontics représents a growing proportion of her activity. Many adult patients from Suresnes consult for aesthetic reasons -- a smile that has been a source of self-consciousness for years -- or for functional reasons: difficulty chewing, premature wear of certain teeth, or joint pain linked to poor dental occlusion. Modern techniques, whether aligners or multi-bracket braces, can effectively treat adults while taking into account the particularities of their dentition: the presence of crowns or bridges, gum recession, or the need to prepare for future implant work. The results often transform self-confidence and provide lasting improvement to oral health.

Treatment process for a patient from Suresnes

The first step is the assessment consultation. During this initial appointment, Dr Chardon carefully examines the patient's teeth, takes intra-oral and extra-oral photographs, and the discussion focuses at length on expectations and goals. She explains the various treatment options available, with their advantâges and limitations. If treatment is indicated, she prescribes additional investigations including a panoramic radiograph, a lateral cephalometric radiograph and 3D digital impressions taken at the practice. These elements allow her to establish a precise diagnosis and a fully personalised treatment plan.

The treatment plan is présented to the patient at a second appointment. She détails the recommended technique, the estimated treatment duration, the frequency of appointments, the total cost and the terms of coverâge by French social security and supplementary insurance. For a patient from Suresnes, she points out that follow-up appointments, spaced six to twelve weeks apart, are quick and that the journey from Suresnes takes no more than twenty minutes by public transport. This transparency and rigorous planning are essential for the patient to embark on treatment with full confidence.

During the active phase of treatment, each check-up appointment allows her to verify the progress of tooth movements, adjust the appliance if necessary, and ensure the patient is following the prescribed guidelines. Communication is at the heart of her practice: she takes the time to explain what has moved, what will come next, and to answer all questions. Patients from Suresnes appreciate this educational approach, which makes them active participants in their treatment rather than mere spectators.

At the end of active treatment, the retention phase takes over. A bonded wire behind the front teeth or a night-time retainer keeps the teeth in their new position. She schedules regular retention check-ups to verify the stability of results over the long term. This stâge is crucial: without rigorous retention, teeth tend to gradually drift back towards their original position. Her commitment to her patients from Suresnes therefore extends well beyond the removal of the appliance.
