Dr. Chou and her team are hands down the best in New England! I'm a dentist myself, and Dr. Chou is the only orthodontist I trust for my own treatment. She not only has a magnetic personality, but also makes sure that every single one of your needs get addressed to perfection. If you are in the field, you will know that Dr. Chou's skill is in the top 0.001% among her peers. She can achieve results that others deem impossible. For example, she not only can close up a space of a molar, but also can push a partially impacted third molar to the dental arch. She has helped so many patients including me to expand dental arches (both upper and lower) and achieve a broad smile. Dr. Chou is also an expert in minimally invasive orthodontics- she really knows how to avoid extractions and orthognathic surgeries to the maximal extent. Have a consult with Dr. Chou if you're ready for a charming smile or simply concerned with your current situation! I'm sure you'll get the best advice and treatment possible available in the world.

Dr Chou and her staff were wonderful to work with for our son's partial braces. She answered my questions thoroughly, was gentle with my child, and took pictures of his progress along the way. When his braces came off, Dr Chou gave us a packet with before/after pictures and other information. Also had a fun little gift for my son to celebrate getting his braces off. Dr Chou was very professional, friendly, and knowledgable. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Chou is amazing. She approaches our children's orthodontic plans thoughtfully and with great care. She is a master of the science and art of orthodontics, and it has been amazing to see the changes her work has made for our kids. You will know you are in expert hands the moment you meet her. Staff are competent, friendly and helpful. We couldn't be more pleased.

Amazing Orthodontic Care for my Son with Severe Anxiety My 12 year old son has been a patient here for the past 3 years. We have always had excellent care, advice and professional services from the whole team at Charming Smile. My son had a finger sucking habit which was beginning to push his two front teeth out. Dr Chou fitted a palette expander which quickly stopped his habit, then helped the alignment of his teeth. He then had a retainer fitted which he has now had for about a year. The team at Charming Smile were always incredibly helpful and proactive with arranging appointments and during the appointments themselves. My son had particular needs as he suffers from social anxiety. Sometimes he was so anxious that he wouldn't tolerate any treatment, even just photographs, during an appointment. The team were amazingly kind and patient, allowing flexibility so that he had time to get comfortable and sometimes rescheduling for another day. As time went by they showed real compassion with him, always understanding his particular needs from the moment we walked into the office. I would definitely recommend this orthodontist, both in terms of the excellent technical work and for the dedicated personal care we received. We have moved to the UK now and Dr Chou has been very supportive and helpful in explaining how to transition to a new provider and what to consider. I have no doubt that she will be ready and willing to advise us in future if we need guidance about services here. Financially, we always knew exactly where we were and there were no hidden expenses. We felt we could trust this practice absolutely. Many thanks to the team for all their hard work and caring for my son over the years!

Charming Smile only provides the best for their clients! I had an complicated condition coming in but with Dr. Chou's cutting edge techniques and invisalign treatment came out looking like a star. Look no further for great treatment and a staff that will make you enjoy lying down on the chair.
