BRACES AFTER AGE 30…read more Guilty. I'm that adult that finally had dental insurance and the first action I took was braces. And I had them for- 3 years! Unlike the dentist, there's nothing unsettling about the orthodontist. Oh, I saw my before and after pictures and I am not sure how the heck my grill was unbecoming for so long. DESCRIBE THE QUALITY OF WORK The work done here on my behalf was a notch above a miracle. My negligent mother didn't give a two flying sticks and my mouth was damaged. Oh, let me not digress. You don't know how contorted your mouth is until you take a 360 x-ray of your mouth. Shuddering. I actually looked forward to my appointments and braces tightening and color band dynamicism. TBH, I think I was one of his success cases but Dr. K is too honorable to say so. WHY ARE YOU WRITING A REVIEW NOW? Nothing lasts forever and I had to stop by to get my retainers refitted and tightened. Now I smile my wide smile with straight teeth. I'm in retainers now (since 2022) and continue to have teeth success. PRICING? I think it's more than the norm. I've been coming too long to shift or explore other options. I also have insurance. I think I paid out of pocket over a year for my braces. And that was long ago. HIGHLIGHT *Love, love, love the staff *Always sanitized & immaculate *My kiddos will likely become a client *Pain-free and stress-free doctor visits "Braces are a gift to your smile and self-confidence."

My gratitude goes to Dr. Cruz who, through his expertise in orthodontic techniques, helped me…read morecompletely transformed my self-conscious smile. He always takes time to address any concerns or any questions I have. His expertise is evident in the amazing job he did realigning and closing the gaps in my teeth. He's a caring individual who ensures his patients receive the best possible care. My daughter Bernadette, who is now a proud Captain serving in the US Army, has always receive compliments from the many military dentists she sees over the years. They all tell her she has clearly had braces because her teeth are so perfectly aligned. She was a patient of Dr. Cruz when she was attending St. Rose of Lima. I strongly endorse Dr. Cruz's services. His team is friendly and inviting, making every visit to their office a delight. Their warm approach is sure to put you at ease.

I chose Elite Orthodontics because of the amazing reviews that I read prior to getting braces. I…read morewanted to choose the best of the best because not only did I need braces but I had an underbite that I wanted to treat as well. Elite kept me well informed and even recommended me an amazing oral surgeon when I was having trouble finding one that worked with my insurance. The office is clean and has a section for all your braces needs like wax, floss, toothbrushes, etc. there are also three sinks where you can brush and floss before getting your braces tightened. Every visit felt efficient and fast. The techs who tightened my braces were always professional and gentle. Special shoutout to Ashley who always was so friendly anytime she tightened my braces. I saw both Dr Ehsani and Dr Sabet and they were both phenomenal throughout my treatment before and after surgery. The front desk was always responsive and answered all my silly questions via text message. I can't stress how friendly everyone is in the office!! I highly recommend Elite Orthodontics to anyone who mentions getting braces and I would choose them again and again if I ever had to get braces in the future (I hope I don't have to but you get it)

Elite Orthodontics helped me to correct my bite 4/25-7/26, this was actually my 4th ortho…read moretreatment, so I came into the process with a lot of previous experience and a pretty good idea of what to expect. The total cost was somewhere around $8,500, not more than $9k...making it the most expensive treatment I've personally had. For context, my first tx was a surgical case involving crowding - cost around 5k. 2nd - minor correction completed in under six months and cost less than $2K. 3rd- Invisalign and cost $6,800 and the most time spent in tx. Looking back, I still don't feel I ever received a clear explanation as to why this treatment was significantly more expensive than any of my previous. At the time, I was frustrated with my Invisalign results and eager to get my bite corrected, so I trusted the process that had been proven to give me positive outcomes and moved forward. To be fair, there were a lot of things I liked about this office. The front office staff was always friendly, scheduling was easy, appoints ran on time, and the techs were fantastic.... they were very knowledgeable, and honestly carried most of my experience throughout treatment. The office is incredibly efficient, and it's clear they have a strong team. Where I struggled was with the amount of provider interaction. Compared to my previous orthodontic experiences, I spent very little time with doctor. Most of my appt. time were with techs and because I saw multiple providers throughout treatment, there were times when I felt disconnected from my treatment plan. Since I was progressing, I tried to trust the process, but I often left appoints without fully understanding what the next steps were or why certain decisions were being made. My biggest disappointment came at the end of treatment during my debonding appointment. I have a history of dental anxiety, although I've worked really hard over the years to overcome it, I still deal with it. I've had braces removed before, Invisalign attachments removed, fillings, and plenty of other dental work. Because of those experiences, I honestly wasn't expecting this appointment to be difficult for me. The tech handled the majority of the debonding process, including removing the brackets (ceramics), cleaning off the adhesive, taking photos, delivering retainers, and scheduling my follow-up. She did a great job and communicated well throughout the appointment. What caught me off guard was how different this experience was from my previous treatments. In my prior cases, the orthodontist personally handled the final stages of treatment, including my permanent retainer placement, brace removal, adhesive cleanup, and any procedures involving powered dental instruments (drills). Because that had always been my experience, I was surprised when nearly the entire process was completed by an assistant. Hearing and feeling a high powered drill being used in my mouth by someone other than the orthodontist made me extremely nervous and uncomfortable. Whether that is standard practice or not, it was not something I had experienced in any of my previous treatments, and I was not prepared for it. The adhesive removal process was also much more uncomfortable than I expected (ceramic) . I spent most of the appointment just trying to get through it. My teeth were extremely sensitive during, afterward and still are now . In my previous treatments--including previous debondings and Invisalign attachment removal--I experienced little to no discomfort, so this was a very different experience for me. Although I had become accustomed to the bare minimum time with the actual provider, I was still caught off guard with my removal appt. I didn't see the orthodontist until the very end of the process, he checked my retainers, made a small adjustment, did a little reshaping, and that was essentially it, probably took less than 5 mins. They delivered on the outcome one, but after investing so much money, I expected more from my experience. Looking back, I think my overall experience comes down to one thing: efficiency. This office is extremely efficient, and for many patients that may be exactly what they're looking for. For me, I would have liked more communication, more provider involvement, and more discussion throughout treatment, especially at the end. Do I think Elite Orthodontics has a skilled team? Absolutely. Do I think my teeth look better than when I started? Yes- thank you!! But for the cost of treatment, I expected more direct interaction with the orthodontist and a more personalized experience than I received. If convenience, quick appts, and an efficient process are your top priorities, you'll probably have a great experience here. If you're someone who values one-on-one time with your orthodontist, detailed discussions about your treatment, and significant doctor involvement during the final stages of care, that was not my experience.

However the three stars knocked off because the front desk is extremely rude. Right when you walk in, they ignore you and point to a kiosk to check in and don't make eye contact like they are avoiding you on purpose. Mind you I've only been here twice. And each visit was the same. They also NEVER answer their phone calls even if you leave a voice mail. Their main form of communication is text message. They reschedule through text and answer any questions through text. Also last time I checked out, one of the ladies at the front desk (couldn't catch her name) was talking to her coworker in front of me for like a good 3 minutes and it was completely unrelated to my visit. I felt like I was a burden burdening their conversation, and she asked me with the most annoyed tone if I was free a month out after they were done. Not "hi, I can help you right here" or "did you get everything you needed today?" Like I'm burdening you with your 3 minutes of conversation? The picture even says please DO NOT CALL. please tell me this a joke? What's the point of having a receptionist if I'm burdening them and they don't want to speak to customers? Text is NOT a professional form of communication.
