About Elite Orthodontics

Complex jaw surgery and bite cases handled by Dr. Nader Ehsani, often after other orthodontists declined, alongside phase one treatment that helps young children avoid extractions.

Reviews at Elite Orthodontics highlight difficult cases—jaw surgery, severe crowding, and underbites—that Dr. Nader Ehsani and Dr. Sherry Sabet are credited with resolving, sometimes after other providers turned patients away. Phase one treatment comes up often too, with expanders described as helping kids avoid extractions and, in one case, improving sleep. Reviewers also note retainer support that continues long after braces come off, and a number of patients say they transferred here mid-treatment without major setbacks. Same-day fixes for broken brackets and Saturday appointments are mentioned as helpful for busy families.

Highly recommend Elite Orthodontics! Their entire staff is incredibly welcoming, transparent, and knowledgeable. I reached out to them due to an orthodontic emergency not knowing where to go, and as a first time patient they were able to get me in same day and provided me with incredible results and such great care. Their office is very comfortable, clean, and they don't push any unnecessary costs onto you. I truly can't recommend them enough!

I was referred to Dr. Ehsani and the Elite Ortho group by my dentist as a surgical case (double jaw surgery with orthognathic treatment), and the whole team has been wonderful. During the initial consultation, Dr. Ehsani was patient in answering the many questions I had and walked me through everything to expect. When it came to surgery and my insurance wasn't approving any of the OMSs in the city, Dr. Ehsani stepped in to help find a solution. Double jaw surgery isn't for the faint of heart, but between the surgical team and Dr. Ehsani's team, I don't believe could've asked for a more compassionate care network. The ortho appts were smooth, with the same level of patience and care exhibited during the initial consult. When Dr. Ehsani wasn't in office and Dr. Freda stepped in, Dr. Freda's bedside manner was appreciated in that he shared the same patience and willingness to answer questions. Also appreciate that the whole team has a lightheartedness to them, not taking themselves too seriously, makes for a very comfortable medical environment. Overall, I'd highly recommend anyone looking for orthodontic care to come in and meet the team. Not that I want to go through braces again, but if I had to, I'd happily come back here.

My entire year-and-a-half experience with Elite Orthodontics was exceptional. The team made every step of the process easy, from flexible and convenient scheduling to providing prompt care whenever I had an issue with a bracket or tray. Any problems were addressed as quickly as possible. I highly recommend Elite Orthodontics to anyone looking for orthodontic care.

Our experience with Elite Orthodontics has been exceptional. The front desk staff is always warm and helpful, and the rest of the crew kept us informed and feeling like family. Appointments were efficient and fit into our schedule nicely. My son never had any complaints about his braces throughout the process and as a very shy teen, he was always attended to in a way that kept him comfortable. 10/10 would recommend based on our experience!

Cannot THANK Elite orthodontists enough for saving the day! We needed some emergency orthodontic care this holiday weekend. Our orthodontist office was closed and could not be reached and Elite orthodontist was the only office in town that came through to provide emergency care for my son. His pallet expander bracket had become completely loose and was putting a lot of pressure on his other molar, causing him a lot of pain and discomfort. Elite orthodontic came through and took us in at the last minute and they were able to cement his bracket back on saving the day and our out-of-town trip for the next week. I cannot put into words how grateful we are to have found this level of care at elite orthodontist and I am so grateful for their one-on-one care and understanding and patient support. Amazing staff and Doctor support to ALL patients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
