    Love my smile!

    Elite Orthodontics helped me to correct my bite 4/25-7/26, this was actually my 4th ortho treatment, 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.

    retain the form.

    How much does it cost Invisalign?

    Hello Marina, I appreciate your interest, to answer that question I would have to see you for orthodontic records in order to give you an accurate idea of what would be involved with your case. Every case is individual as far as what correction is… 

    How much does it cost top and bottom retainers with out insurance?

    You would need to go in and have a consult done to get correct pricing.

    It is with deep regret that I am posting this review. I scheduled an appointment for my son at 3:45…read morebut was stuck in traffic and very slightly delayed. We were late by five to seven minutes at most. At 3:45 we were literally exiting the freeway and I called the office to explain that we were almost there. I was told that the doctor had to be someplace else and was preparing to leave the office. I was literally in the parking lot and was maybe six or seven minutes late in total but it made no difference. If we were say 15 minutes late, or even 10, I could be more understanding, but to cancel an appointment when the patient is less than ten minutes late and in the parking lot? If the doctor had an emergency situation obviously that's a different story, but the receptionist simply told me she had somewhere else she needed to be and that was the end of it. I was told that I could reschedule and declined. We do not live in the area where the office is located and drove from East County to be there. Frankly I cannot imagine any patient or customer losing an appointment because of a five to seven minute delay due to traffic. I decided that if those few minutes are so critical to the appointment this is not the office for my family. How many times have we all waited when a doctor is running late or is still with another patient? This is simply not the right way to do things. I immediately scheduled an appointment with another orthodontist and I asked what their policy is when a patient is late. They told me they give a 15 minute grace period and if possible they still try to keep the appointment if the patient is willing to wait. Dr. Le is a very nice person and I'm sure the work would have been done properly, but unfortunately it's time for other options.

    This place is a joke. I had made a consultation because of all the glowing reviews...big mistake!…read moreMy back molar had moved upwards creating a hole in my cheek. This caused an infection I was put on antibiotics and ended up with a contagious bacterial infection. I had to go to the ER. After explaining all this, the Dr had zero empathy. Told me that she could not help me. I think she just cannot handle anything super complicated. My orthodontist now saw a lot of things that she missed. If you have a complicated problem go somewhere else!

    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."

After experiencing a lot of dental trauma over the years, it was extremely important that I found an orthodontist who was compassionate and also confident due to the complexity of my case.
