Detailed Introduction

True North Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic located at 13 W Central Entrance, Duluth, MN 55811. The clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. It is led by Dr. Christine Hammer, a board-certified orthodontist and a Duluth native, who is committed to serving her hometown community. True North Orthodontics offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic services designed to address a variety of dental needs. Their treatment options include traditional braces, featuring LightForce Technology for personalized 3D-printed brackets, and clear aligners, specifically the advanced Invisalign® system. They also provide Phase I orthodontic treatment for younger patients to correct specific issues early on and potentially prevent more complex problems later. The clinic prides itself on utilizing state-of-the-art technology, such as 3D intraoral scans and CBCT imaging, to create precise and customized treatment plans. This allows for digital planning of treatments and the creation of custom appliances like retainers in their in-house lab, eliminating the need for messy plaster molds. True North Orthodontics places a strong emphasis on patient comfort and a welcoming atmosphere. Their office is designed to be inviting, and the team is frequently praised in reviews for their friendly demeanor, professionalism, and ability to make the orthodontic journey enjoyable and stress-free. They offer complimentary initial consultations, both in-person and virtual (using Grin Scope and a smartphone camera), to assess individual needs and discuss treatment options. Understanding that orthodontic treatment is an investment, True North Orthodontics offers flexible financing options, including interest-free payment plans, and assists patients in maximizing their insurance benefits. They also provide all-inclusive treatment plans that cover diagnostic records, appointments, comfort visits, and retainers. The clinic aims to make quality orthodontic care accessible and affordable for everyone, with discounts available for families and full upfront payments. Patients consistently commend True North Orthodontics for its excellent service, knowledgeable staff, efficient operations, and commitment to creating beautiful, confident smiles.

Our daughter's office visits are always a joy, filled with warm smiles and open arms. Dr. Hammer's outstanding approach and dedication to patient education have fostered a haven of comfort and trust. The "how to" videos and special gift bag were a thoughtful touch for our daughter. She is eagerly anticipating her next visit!

I am SO impressed with True North Orthodontics! They are beyond customer focused, high tech with positive, high and beyond friendly energy. The entire experience from assessment, to working with our dentists and oral surgeon to address some unique needs, to getting and maintains braces has been phenomenal for my children. The building, the atmosphere, the staff and the technology is streamline and cutting edge.

I look forward to enjoying their gorgeous lobby space during my children’s appointments. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

My experience at True North has been great. From the moment I walked in, the staff greet you and make you feel at home. My youngest son actually even made a comment thinking that the dental assistant was a friend to me! The space itself is esthetically appealing from the music to the clean environment and welcoming staff 5/5. At first I was going there for my son but ended up getting my own care as my teeth have shifted a bit.

It is great to have a team that can care for my family and myself. Also, I love the online platform that they use making teeth scan and communication easy. I certainly do not regret choosing True North and would highly recommend!!!

We love this office! Dr Hammer has amazing, reassuring bedside manner, and the (newer to this clinic) Dr. Huh is lovely as well. The Grin app is very helpful and decreases the frequency of visits, which is awesome for our busy lives. I get speedy responses on the app as well.
