Not every orthodontist can make you laugh while adjusting your braces, but in Omaha, that’s just part of the experience! With a mix of Midwest charm and real-world experience, Dr. Chartrand makes orthodontic care feel less clinical and a lot more personal. His love of family, good food, and staying involved in the community is baked into the culture at Chartrand Orthodontics. Let’s meet the orthodontist who keeps Omaha smiling.
Meet Dr. Daniel Chartrand
Originally from Alton, Illinois, Dr. Chartrand brings a rare blend of clinical precision and personal connection to every patient interaction. After honing his skills through advanced orthodontic training with the United States Air Force, he developed a passion for airway-centered treatment that helps patients breathe better, sleep better, and live better.
He’s known for personalized plans that feel thoughtful and intentional, built around what actually works for you. And while his credentials are impressive, it’s his warm approach and genuine care that Omaha families talk about long after treatment ends.
When he’s not reviewing scans or planning treatment, Dr. Chartrand is elbow-deep in flour or leading story time with his kids. He and his wife Rachel are raising five little ones here in Omaha, where baking sessions, family adventures, and bookshelf battles over bedtime favorites are just part of the daily routine.
Now that you’ve met Dr. Chartrand, let’s talk about what makes Chartrand Orthodontics feel less like a clinic and more like an Omaha staple.

Care That Fits Every Age (and Every Schedule)
Chartrand Orthodontics is for everyone, from parents and professionals to kids who are just getting their first permanent teeth. Dr. Chartrand treats smiles in every stage of life, with custom plans that fit your routine.
For kids, early evaluations around age seven help catch bite issues before they grow into bigger problems.
For teens, treatment often lines up with jaw development, making it an ideal time for braces or clear aligners.
And for adults? It’s never too late. Many patients return to orthodontics after seeing their teeth shift over time.
No matter your age or background, the goal stays the same: healthy function, long-term results, and a treatment process that feels comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Chartrand and the entire team make orthodontic care feel approachable, effective, and personal.
