CDF Family Orthodontics

CDF Family Orthodontics, also recognized as Christie, Drane & Forwood Family Orthodontics, is a well-established orthodontic practice with two convenient locations in Media, PA (Chesley Office Campus) and Wallingford, PA (The Spencer House, on the grounds of Strath Haven High School and Middle School). The clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from young children to adults. The practice is led by a team of experienced orthodontists, including Dr. Kimberly F. Christie and Dr. H. Ben Drane. Dr. Christie, who grew up in Wallingford, followed in her father, Dr. Forwood's, footsteps, pursuing a passion for dentistry and orthodontics. She received her doctorate in dental medicine and completed her orthodontic residency at the University of Pennsylvania. The clinic prides itself on treating every patient as a member of their own family, fostering a welcoming, kind, and compassionate environment throughout the orthodontic journey. CDF Family Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic treatments to address various needs. These include traditional metal braces, which are now lower-profile and easier to clean, with optional colored bands for personalization. They also provide Clear Braces, an aesthetic alternative for those seeking a less noticeable option, suitable for a variety of misalignment issues. A significant offering is Invisalign, a system of virtually invisible, custom-made clear aligners that gently shift teeth into alignment, often preferred by professionals and teens alike. The clinic emphasizes patient comfort, personalized treatment plans, and transparent financial information. They offer complimentary consultations to discuss dental goals and treatment options, which may involve digital photographs, 3D models, and radiographs. Flexible payment options, including interest-free plans and discounts, are available, and the staff assists with insurance claims and paperwork, accepting most insurance plans. Positive patient reviews frequently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the doctors' expertise and caring demeanor, and the excellent results achieved. The practice is known for its organized scheduling and billing, and its commitment to making the orthodontic experience as positive and stress-free as possible.
