About Elison & Wood Orthodontics
Dr. Wood and Dr. Elison are noted for timing treatment around a child's growth, sometimes delaying braces until molars erupt to shorten overall treatment.
Elison & Wood Orthodontics has treated multiple generations of some families, and reviews often mention a conservative approach to timing treatment to reduce root resorption and shorten overall time in braces. Parents describe quick turnarounds for broken wires, loose brackets, and retainer repairs, including same-day fixes and after-hours help. The office also comes up often for keeping young or anxious children at ease during appointments.

Dr. Elison & Dr. Wood are amazing as orthodontists and in the dental community. I appreciate them offering hygienist an annual continuing education conference and sharing their wealth of knowledge. Their staff are wonderful and the doctors are some of the kindest people. I appreciate their conservative approach, willing to wait and let children grow to minimize root resorption, whereas other offices have had a faster, expedited treatment plan. My daughter says her favorite thing about the office is their soft serve ice cream machine for after each appointment.
