Serving Our Community for 50 Years

At CDF Family Orthodontics, patient care is always been our top priority. We offer personalized treatment and a supportive environment for patients throughout their orthodontic experience.

As a generational practice, we recognize that the orthodontic treatment process is deeply personal for each patient. This perspective guides how we plan treatment, communicate, and help patients feel informed and comfortable from their very first visit.

From initial diagnostics through to braces or Invisalign, and even post-treatment maintenance, we'll listen to your unique needs and goals, answer questions, and keep you informed. We want you to feel comfortable with us and confident in the services we provide for you and your loved ones.

We are passionate about our work, and this enthusiasm drives us to perform at our best every day. We look forward to supporting you on your orthodontic journey!

Why Choose Us

At CDF Family Orthodontics, we’re proud to be a trusted orthodontic practice serving patients across Media and Wallingford.

Our caring and knowledgeable team is dedicated to providing orthodontic care with warmth, honesty, and compassion. Here’s what sets us apart:
  • Personalized Care

    Your first visit is always about understanding your smile and goals. During your initial consultation, our orthodontists will complete a detailed exam, review digital X-rays, and discuss your treatment options available at our Chesley and Wallingford offices. You will leave with a clear understanding of the next steps, without any pressure.

  • Collaborative Doctors

    Our orthodontists review each patient’s case independently, and then collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan. Their combined experience and insight help ensure that your orthodontic care is thoughtful, well-planned, and designed around your needs.

  • Clear Communication

    We love what we do, and it shows. We're excited to talk to you about your treatment, and we do all we can to make you feel comfortable and at home at each of our clinics.

  • Community Care

    We love connecting with local businesses and our community! Follow us on social media to stay updated on the exciting events we host and sponsor.

  • Complimentary Services

    As part of our commitment to care, we offer several services at no additional charge, such as initial exams, growth and development monitoring, emergency visits, panoramic X-rays, and sports mouth guards.

  • Digital Technology

    Our practice uses advanced orthodontic technology to make your treatment experience efficient and comfortable. Digital X-rays and iTero 3D scanning enable our orthodontists to plan and monitor your treatment accurately, while also reducing radiation exposure.

  • Flexible Financing

    Our team works closely with you to make orthodontic care accessible. We accept most major insurance plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, CIGNA, United Concordia, and Fidelio, and offer flexible payment options to fit your family’s budget.

  • Smile Protection Program

    Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, you'll need a retainer to help keep your teeth in their newly straightened positions.

    Our plan only covers Invisalign Vivera, Hawley retainers (old-school retainers with a metal bar across the front teeth), and lower fixed/bonded retainers. Specialty retainers, including those with fake teeth, upper fixed retainers, spring retainers, and braces, are not included in this program and will require separate fees.

Payment Plans & Financing Options

At CDF Family Orthodontics, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to essential health care. To help our patients manage the cost of orthodontic treatment, we offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing with CareCredit.
