At Chisholm Orthodontics, we are a small, local, family-owned practice with multiple locations including North Adelaide, Plympton, Mildura and Alice Springs. In 2010, Dr Neena Chisholm took over from Dr Michael Nugent and started taking care of his patients. This was due to Dr Nugent retiring, leaving his patents in the steady hands of Dr Chisholm.
Our practice is very patient orientated, focusing on the well-being of our patients to achieve the best outcomes. At Chisholm Orthodontics, you will always see an orthodontist at every visit as our goal is to ensure patient satisfaction and managing anxiety.

Chisholm Orthodontics: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Second year in a row of seeing Dr Chisholm for my son's mouth guard and both time he has displayed high level anxiety around the whole process. Dr Chisholm and her team were incredibly patient, kind and supportive! We will now see them for future work and my son is now very comfortable with the idea of the dentist!
Hi, E. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable and professional practice, Nina and her team are so skilled and run an awesome business. With minimal waiting, virtually no pain or discomfort during treatment, so gentle with technique. As a normally nervous patient, I am always made to feel relaxed and looked after. Final results are nice, straight teeth and a newfound confidence. Thanks to all at Chisholm.
Hi, Rillotta. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Neena and her team at Chisholm Orthodontics have been fantastic for our son Sam and always extremely accommodating and helpful given that Sam was a boarding school student and attends 90% of appointments on his own. Sam is looking forward to having his braces off very shortly!
Hi, Kyra. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Can not fault any step of treatment and care that was given to my teenager in regards to the 2.5yrs of teeth alignment with his braces. Dr Neena has been so professional, supportive, friendly & understanding every step of the way. To Jo & Leisa, her amazing side kicks... always offering those same welcoming qualities at each visit. Flexibility in appointment times was always appreciated! Being able to schedule most of our visits in our home town of mildura has also been a blessing. With only 2 appointments in the Adelaide clinic necessary along the way. High fives to you all ladies!! For your dedication, travel and hard work. Dr Neena.... i can not recommend you highly enough to anyone that enquires about needing orthodontic services! Thankyou!

Hi, Raja. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of both of my daughter’s teeth. One in particular was a very complex case and nothing was ever too much or too hard, as we had experienced with other surgeons. Dr Chisolm and her team go above and beyond with their care. Can highly recommend their knowledge and services!

Hi, Thuy. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Prior to getting my braces, i used to feel self-conscious about the appearance of my teeth and did anything to avoid showing them. Since having my braces removed, ive found myself constantly starring in the mirror admiring the incredible work done by chisholm orthodontist and am learning to smile. I’m beyond grateful to Dr Chisholm for the amazing transformation - correcting my rotated pointy teeth and overcrowded mouth. I cannot thank her enough.

Hi, Alice. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Neena and her staff have worked to correct the teeth of my three children over at least a 15 year period. They have always been amazing. They are super friendly and my children always felt welcome and safe, and the results have been fantastic. This practice covers a huge chunk of Australia, and their work spans road accident victims, and young children. Their professionalism is beyond reproach.

Hi, Brendon. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Positive experience: She did a great job with my son's braces! However, if there's any criticism, I would say that there's always a long wait time, and she has at least two patients at the same time.
Fantastic experience: A brilliant & kind orthodontist, who provides great results. Two of my children have had plates/expanders and braces, and now how beautiful teeth!!
Hi, Lisa. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr Chisholm and her staff were always knowledgeable and professional. They did a great job with our girls and listened when we encountered any issues. They were straight forward with any potential discomforts regarding routine adjustment and oral appliances that were part of the treatment, and the billing was always predictable and accurate. Overall a very positive experience!
Hi, Christopher. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Hi, Denise. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neena, Joanne, and the entire team have been absolutely fantastic in helping both of our children with their orthodontic needs. Our daughter has had a deep-seated fear of dentists due to a bad experience in childhood, but Neena and her team have been incredibly patient, reassuring, and gentle, making the whole process stress-free and easy for her. We’ve seen such a transformation in her confidence at each visit! As for our son, after a very long wait, he finally got a visit from the tooth fairy—thanks to Neena and her team’s expert care and intervention! We couldn’t be more grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. Highly recommend this wonderful practice!

Fantastic experience: After being disappointed by my sons results I chose Dr Chisholm (through friends referral) for my daughter. I could not be happier with results and the service. An absolute professional and is so kind and caring with my daughter. I could not be happier, my daughters teeth and jaw line are perfect!
Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with the final result of my teeth from Dr. Chisholm and the staff, they all treat me so well!! I highly recommend.
Thank you, Zara, for your lovely review. We are so happy we could make your smile so enjoyable :)
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Dr. Chisholm and the amazing staff Jo and Lisa, enough for the incredible transformation they've made in my life. I'd always dreamed of having straight teeth, but for years I truly believed my case was too complex to fix. Dr. Chisholm took on my case without judgement and provided me with meticulous care and her attention to detail never faltered. Her dedication and expertise have given me the confidence to smile proudly, something I never thought possible. I am beyond thrilled with the results and will forever be grateful for the life-changing work Dr. Chisholm has done. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile every day :)
Thank you Jayde for your lovely review. We are so happy that you have enjoyed your time being treated by Dr Chisholm and so happy that we have made you enjoy your smile :)
Negative experience: Highly unprofessional, long wait times, and unnecessarily expensive. Both my retainer and wire broke in under a year. She didn’t warn me about a price increase before she removed my wire, went from $40 per tooth (for 3 teeth) to $400 to $650. Plus a retainer in which I had to later replace this after only a few weeks. I got a retainer replacement with my dentist and had this done at a much lower price. When I had some stoppers to prevent grinding my teeth, she never properly filed it down, even after she removed my braces until eventually my dentist did. The wait times were almost always over an hour, for just a 10 minute check up which she hardly spent proper time or energy on. I could not recommend this place any less.

If you had an issue with us, we would've loved you to have discussed this with us. If you would still like to discuss this, please phone us on 82671170.
Negative experience: I feel so regret for choosing this orthodontist for my child. Very unprofessional and careless.
Good Morning Yihong, unfortunately I do not have you on our system, if you could please phone us on 82671170 to discuss the issue you have it would be greatly appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and great service. Neena did a wonderful job on getting my teeth Strait and looking amazing. Highly recommend
Negative experience: A terrible experienced I had from this orthodontist and her assistant Sam. Really, at first I thought they were good and when I moved interstate it was covid that time I have been sending them an email to request letter so work can give me some time off and they would not send me a letter (a letter that I have an appointment with them). I have booked my flight just to meet what that Dr availability and when I told them that I arrived Saturday on the email Sam told me that they don’t work Saturday and Sunday which is I have to rebooked my flight and arrived Friday just to get an adjustment, however they never replied back and booked me in, and now they were asking me to pay them off the 2 appointments that I supposed to have back in 2021. It’s so ridiculous that they wanted to get the money from you but never responses to my request. And I remember I had an appointment with them back in Alice Springs I came after I finished work but the receptionist in the medical centre told me they had to go back to Adelaide but they didn’t even let me know, did I complain? No! Now all they did was asking for the money I owe apparently that I didn’t even had the adjustment. I wouldn’t recommend this at all. And oh don’t even try to reply you’ll get your money back!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place with an amazing team of health professionals. They have a welcoming team and a professional environment. Love their work and friendly atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: My sister and I received orthodontic treatment from Dr Neena and had a pleasant experience with her and her staff. Everyone was extremely friendly and accomodating, as well as very informative about the treatments. Highly recommend this practice, as someone who was also recommended!
Fantastic experience: Was very happy with the service that i received , staff were on both occasions very happy and friendly , was only on the waiting room for no more than ten minutes. And the Dr did a wonderful job very professional and very friendly. I will be coming back. Thank you for making my smile look amazing again.
Fantastic experience: Dr Neena and the receptionists at Chisholm Orthodontics are very kind and attentive to their patients needs and concerns. I have been going there for the past couple of months and have found that they are very professional and nice.
Fantastic experience: Dr Neena is the sweetest person and my experience there with her has always been amazing. Despite my fear of going to the dentist in the past, she has made every appointment enjoyable ever since I started my treatment with her. Will definitely be coming back in the future with my kids!
Fantastic experience: After getting my braces done, I saw a big difference in not only my teeth but also my confidence now that I am able to show my teeth while smiling. Dr Neena and her team were super kind and professional. Definitely will be coming back for my kids and family members.
Negative experience: Was recommended here as a new patient by my dentist and when I went in to make an appointment I was shocked at how unprofessional it is! Poor staff members getting screamed at and abused by what I’m guessing is management and making their staff cry! I left before I was served when I saw what was happening will never recommend this place and will get a new recommendation from my dentist for an orthodontist
Negative experience: Extremely unprofessional. The dentist was so rude and she was so rough when she was treating me. I was left waiting for a long time and left in an extreme amount of discomfort. Would not recommend her to anyone, there are many more orthodontists in Adelaide that I’d much prefer.
Hello Crystal,
Thank you for your feedback. You are not one of our patients so if you are going to sladder our buisness then please use a real name as the information you are providing is untrue.
If you have a problem that you wish to discuss please call 8267 1170 and speak to Sam as I more then happy to discuss this further.
Negative experience: Worst dentist I have ever seen.No compassion at all .Same goes to the staff as well.
Thank you for your response but we are unable to find you on our system i am really sorry you have had a bad experiance with your dentist maybe you need to contact them to discuss your concerns.
Kind regards,
Sam.
Negative experience: This orthodontist is terrible! They gave me a plate that was supposed to be for a year. Before we gave them any money they were very friendly and nice. This suddenly changed as soon as they took my money. They wouldn't remind you when your appointment was, 2 hour waits in line just for 5 minute check-ups, and to put it on top, she blamed me when plate didn't fit 3 months after she said I would have it on for! She yelled at me told me it was my fault. This orthodontist Is outrageous and I suggest looking else where. Extremely unprofessional
Hello Andy,
Having a look on my system I am not able to find you. We care about our patients and this is very upsetting to read.
I would appreciate if you could please contact our surgery on 08 8267 1770 and speak to the practice manager so we can resolve all your concerns and problems.
Thank you Chisholm Orthodontic team.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! I highly recommend Chisholm Orthodontics. My experience with Neena and Sam was amazing. All my appointments have been super pleasant and they are so welcoming! I was super insecure about my teeth and my bite, so I decided to get it checked out, lucky enough I was referred to Neena, she said I needed braces for 12 months and lower jaw surgery so that’s exactly what we did. The entire experience was great and the surgeon Dr Benjamin Graves who Neena sent me to was absolutely amazing and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my results!! I am more confident than ever with my new jaw and teeth all thanks to Neena! 10/10!!!
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Dr Chisholm and her team. Dr Chisholm tailored a plan to accommodate my wedding half way through the treatment and the results were amazing. The staff are always welcoming and genuinely care for their clients. Highly recommend.
Negative experience: Spend at least 20 minutes waiting every time and thats just in the waiting room, with more time waiting for the orthodontist in the chair. Not not mention braces that continually break setting the process back weeks at a time and her love of 'polishing' away your teeth. Finally get my braces off and the dentist tells be I need a filling to fix her poor 'polishing' job and that the retaining wire hasn't been attached properly. I guess the positive is that I have mostly straight teeth now...
Fantastic experience: Dr. Chisholm is professional & compassionate & very knowledgeable.
Negative experience: One orthodontist that checks your mouth for a second and tells you you need to come back for another appointment after a year without being contacted. Then suggests you go private with her instead of public. My daughter has been waiting for an oral surgery for over two years and once I contacted them I was accused of lying. The finger was pointed towards the department of health instead if trying to fix the issue.
Negative experience: Waited 2 hours once, waste of time.
Fantastic experience: Bless everyone in this business. They are all so lovely and helpful. Thanks to them I am able to smile properly ⭐️
Positive experience: I had braces a few years ago, but I feel they took my braces off to early as now I still have a big over bite. The staff were all very friendly.
Positive experience: I would like to thank Dr Chisholm and staff. They managed my treatment professionally and were extremely supportive. Being an adult, I was hesitant to go into treatment but Dr. Chisholm guided me through it. She was patient, kind and understanding and took her time to explain to me what was happening each step of the way. If I didn't understand at first, she would explain it again and so would her nurses. I can't be happier with my results and I had no problems with the services at all.
Positive experience: I didn't like parts of the service, the nurse or hygienist do the wires sometimes I don't know if this is acceptable or professional, no time for explaining patient's concerns at times, usually the orthodontist told me I was fine even when I had concerns, they probably were busy to explain. Also, I don't know if they had to be rough when they install the wires and remove them, the process was a nightmare I felt bad!!! At times I felt I have been throwing my money in the trash bin, for the amount of money they charged me I thought they would treat me like a queen, maybe I was wrong. My advice is to discuss the finance and make sure you understand what you're going to pay for. Make sure you talk through the process and you get legitimate answer before you leave. Make intensive research before you choose your orthodontist, and make sure you are comfortable with the orthodontist, the team, the plan. Updated
Negative experience: I agree with Beautiful So, the minute I saw her review I understood what she was talking about, I wished she blog this review earlier. My experience with this practice was so hard, specially the person who called her self the orthodontist 'with many question marks', yes she has many clinics, but with all honesty all she cares about is your money and this will be discussed before your treatment plan, 'unprofessional'. OK the hardest part was her dishonesty, basically I couldn't continue my treatment with this practice because of 2 things, 1 when you have emergency they make you feel unwelcome like they pay your treatment from their pockets, 2 dishonesty in the checkup, and treatment. Also poor people' skills, when I spoke to the Orthodontist about my concerns all she says oh its usual, its OK, and never give you help. The orthodontist used a bur to create a space between my teeth as she claimed it would would be fine though I insisted is this going to alter my teeth shape!!!!!, and she did it unprofessionally, she altered the shape of my 4 front teeth and she dented the surface of my teeth, I was traumatized by all this, like a person who never used a bur before. When I came to her next day saying you created denting in my teeth specially the from ones, she said that I had fillings in my teeth when I was a child and they fell off, this the worst justification I ever heard. I looked after my teeth and I know my teeth better than her and she tells me a lie. I had to go to 2 dentist to get a report and I have, both of them told me its a bur mark and its called IPR and I suffered sensitivity for 2 weeks. I DO NOT recommend this unprofessional orthodontist for anyone, if you love your teeth and want to get the most of your money and treatment you know what to do.
