Finding the right orthodontic home for your family shouldn’t mean sacrificing convenience for quality. That’s exactly why so many families choose a multi-location orthodontist like Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke Orthodontics. With four offices, a shared team of orthodontic experts, and unified technology across every location, you get the same trusted care wherever life takes you.
Whether you’re dropping a teen off before school, squeezing in a lunch-break visit near your office, or heading home after work, your orthodontic experience stays smooth, personal, and on track. The whole idea is to build care around your real schedule, not the other way around.
What Is a Multi-Location Orthodontic Practice?
A multi-location orthodontic practice is one unified team of orthodontic experts operating from several offices, sharing records, treatment plans, and technology across every site. Families can be seen at any location without starting over, because their digital charts, scans, and X-rays follow them.
At Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke Orthodontics, that means our offices function as one connected orthodontic home. This setup is especially common in regions where families often commute between cities for work, school, and sports, and need the kind of flexibility that a single-office model can’t always offer.
A multi-location practice is different from a solo office tied to a single address, and it’s very different from a franchise that rotates unfamiliar providers through the door. Here, the same doctors you meet at your free consult are the ones you’ll see throughout your treatment. Your billing, scheduling, and personalized treatment plan all live in one shared system that your team can pull up on any screen, in any office, at any visit.
The result? Continuity, familiarity, and flexibility, all under one practice name.
How Care Works Across Our Offices
So how does it actually work when a family uses more than one of our offices? Simply, and without any extra paperwork. Here’s what you can expect:
- Shared digital records. Your scans, X-rays, photos, and treatment notes are accessible at every office. Walk into one office on Tuesday and another on Thursday, and your chart is already there.
- Consistent doctor relationships. Dr. Nic Bisig, Dr. David Chermak, Dr. Paul Rudnicke, and Dr. Samantha Seitz rotate across our locations, so you’ll see familiar faces at your visits, not strangers.
- Flexible visit booking. Need to switch from one office to another next time? Just ask. We’ll find a slot that fits your week and keeps your personalized treatment plan moving forward.
- Sibling scheduling made easy. Have two or three kids in treatment? We can often get them seen on the same day at the same office, or split them between locations if that works better for your route.
- Emergency repairs at the closest office. Broken bracket on the way home from school? Lost aligner tray? Pop into whichever Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke location is nearest. We’ll take care of it.
- Easy location switching. If your family moves or your work commute changes, you can transfer mid-treatment, and your records and personalized treatment plan come with you.
This is what we mean when we say family serving family. Your care travels with you.
Benefits of Choosing a Multi-Location Orthodontist for Your Family
Picking the right orthodontic home isn’t just about the technology or the smile results, though both matter. It’s about how easily the experience fits into your real life. Multi-location care brings some real advantages for busy families:
- Shorter drive times. Pick the office closest to work, school, or home. Our locations cover a wide stretch of the region, so you’re rarely more than a short drive from a visit.
- More visit availability. Combined calendars across four offices mean more open slots. That’s a game-changer when you’re trying to find Saturday or after-school times.
- True continuity of care. You see the same orthodontists, follow the same personalized treatment plan, and use the same technology from start to finish, no matter which door you walk through.
- Easier logistics for blended families. If your kids split time between two households, both parents can take them to whichever office is closer that week.
- Flexible after-school and weekend options. Finding a visit that doesn’t pull a kid out of class or a parent out of work is so much easier when there are four calendars to choose from.
- Full service menu at every location. Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, and clear braces are all available across our offices. You never have to drive farther for a specific treatment option.
How Does Multi-Location Care Save Families Time?
The simple answer: by giving you more options, more days of the week, in more parts of town. When you have four calendars working together instead of one, you can almost always find a time that works around school pickups, sports practice, or a parent’s work meeting. Many families tell us this is the single biggest reason they stay with us long-term.
What Credentials Should You Look For in an Orthodontist?
Experience and specialty training matter. Dr. Bisig is a Diamond+ Invisalign provider, placing him among the highest-volume Invisalign providers nationally, and Dr. Chermak holds a Master’s degree in orthodontics. Dr. Bisig is also board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a credential held by a minority of practicing orthodontists. That depth of training and recognition travels with you to every office visit, because it’s the same team behind the chair.
For over 35 years, families have trusted Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke Orthodontics to make orthodontic care feel personal, not transactional. That’s the heart of what we do, and it’s what keeps neighbors and friends coming back generation after generation.
Multi-Location vs. Single-Office Orthodontist: A Comparison
Not every orthodontic model fits every family. Here’s a side-by-side look at how a multi-location practice compares to a single office or a national brand, especially for families juggling full schedules.
| Feature | Multi-Location Practice (like ours) | Single-Office Practice | National Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduling flexibility | Multiple office calendars, more open slots | One calendar, limited availability | Varies by franchise |
| Drive time | Pick the closest office that day | Fixed, no alternative location | Depends on nearest branch |
| Provider consistency | Same doctor team rotates across offices | Same provider every visit | Often rotating, unfamiliar providers |
| Technology | Unified records and systems across all sites | Office-specific tools | May vary between branches |
| Emergency access | Visit any location for same-day repair | One office only; may be far | Depends on local branch hours |
| Best fit | Busy families, commuters, multi-location households | Families close to one office | Those who prefer a large, standardized brand |
For most families juggling school pickups, work commutes, sports schedules, and sibling visits, the multi-location model simply wins on flexibility without losing the personal touch. You still get your doctor, your plan, and your familiar team. You just get them in more places, with more scheduling options, and without the hassle of starting over at a new office.
Which Families Benefit Most From a Multi-Location Orthodontist?
Multi-location care isn’t just a nice perk. For some families, it’s the difference between staying on schedule and constantly rescheduling. You’ll likely benefit most if you’re:
- A parent with kids in different schools across the area
- Commuting between multiple cities for work
- Juggling multiple siblings in treatment at the same time
- An adult pursuing Invisalign clear aligners who needs quick lunch-break visits
- A family that recently moved to a new neighborhood
- Anyone who prefers Saturday or early-morning visit options
If any of that sounds like your household, our setup was built with you in mind. Dr. Bisig, Dr. Chermak, Dr. Rudnicke, and Dr. Sam have intentionally designed the practice so that no family feels locked into a single office or a single time slot. Life’s too busy for that, and good orthodontic care should flex to meet you where you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my kids be seen at any of your locations?
Yes. All records, including scans, X-rays, and treatment notes, are shared across our four offices. Your child can be seen at whichever Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke Orthodontics location fits your schedule that week, with no paperwork hassle or repeated intake. It’s one of the easiest ways we help families stay on track.
Are the same orthodontists at every office?
Yes. Dr. Nic Bisig, Dr. David Chermak, Dr. Paul Rudnicke, and Dr. Samantha Seitz rotate across our four offices, so you’ll see familiar faces throughout your treatment. We believe consistency builds trust, and that’s why the same doctor team you meet at your free consult is the one guiding your care from start to finish.
Why choose an orthodontist over a general dentist for braces or Invisalign?
Orthodontists complete 2–3 additional years of specialty training beyond dental school, focused specifically on tooth movement, jaw alignment, and bite correction. Dr. Bisig is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, and Dr. Bisig is also a Diamond+ Invisalign provider. That depth of training translates to more precise, predictable results.
Do all offices offer Invisalign and braces?
Yes. Every one of our four offices offers Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, and clear braces. You don’t have to drive to a specific location for a specific treatment option; the full menu is available wherever you book, and the same seasoned doctors deliver the care.
What if I need an emergency bracket or aligner repair?
Just visit the closest office. If a bracket breaks on the way home from school or an aligner goes missing before a trip, call ahead and swing by whichever Bisig + Chermak + Rudnicke location is nearest. We’ll fit you in and get you back on track, usually the same day.
Can I switch locations mid-treatment if my schedule changes?
Absolutely. If your work commute shifts, your family moves, or you simply find a different office more convenient, you can switch locations without starting over. Your personalized treatment plan continues right where it left off, with the same team guiding every step.
What makes a multi-location practice feel personal if there are four offices?
The secret is a small, consistent doctor team and a shared culture of family serving family. Even with four addresses, you’re always seeing one of our four doctors and a support team that knows your name, your history, and your goals. That’s how we help every family live your best smile, no matter which door they walk through.
