As the business has grown in recent years and more experts have joined the Kristo team, there is a unique combination of longtime experience with highly qualified and caring team members. “We want every kid, adult, and parent that walks into our practice to feel welcome – and we want everyone to enjoy their time with us,” Dr. Kristo said.

Recently, Kristo Orthodontics welcomed Dr. Alissa Tran, DMD, MS to the team to help meet the demand for high-quality orthodontic care in the Chippewa Valley. Dr. Tran is excited to use her talents to bring joy and confidence to those she serves at Kristo.

What makes Kristo unique? They offer no-obligation, one-on-one consultations with doctors and an expert team, and flexible payment options with $0 down and 0% interest financing. Not to mention, they are proud to work with all insurances, so everyone who needs orthodontic care can receive it at Kristo Orthodontics.

Braces or Invisalign® clear aligner treatment options are available for children, teens, or adults to give you confidence in what makes you amazing – your smile. Today, more than 40% of Kristo’s patients use Invisalign, including about 90% of adults. Kristo has been treating patients using Invisalign for more than 20 years, and the product’s technology has continued to improve. Kristo says he can do just about anything with Invisalign that he can with traditional wire-and-bracket braces.

“I don’t think there’s a better value play for someone who wants to improve their overall health, their aesthetics, their smile, and overall confidence and quality of life,” Dr. Kristo said. “I’m dedicated to providing the highest-quality orthodontic care that creates healthy, amazing smiles that function well and build self-esteem.”

Kristo Orthodontics’ care for kids surpasses their teeth, that’s why Kristo has implemented an exciting program for kids ages six and up, called the Confidence Counts Club. By scheduling your free orthodontic evaluation, your child is automatically enrolled in the club, which strives to promote annual exams to provide treatment based on each child’s development. This club has fun and free events across the Chippewa Valley for both kids and other community members.

But the Confidence Counts Club is but one way that Kristo supports the community. In Eau Claire specifically, Kristo is involved in organizations like the Eau Claire Children’s Theatre and Museum, Boys and Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern WI, and more. They also partner with Eau Claire public schools!

“My children and I are deeply rooted in the area and enjoy being active in our communities,” Dr. Kristo said. “We love the many theaters and arts the Chippewa Valley has to offer, and as an avid sports fan, I’m always excited to support youth sports groups in the area.”
