About Elite Orthodontics
Elite Orthodontics operates on Cardinal Court in the Birdland area of San Diego, California. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

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!
The waiting room was a little busy during my afternoon appointment, so I waited around fifteen minutes. The receptionist apologized, and once I got in, everything moved efficiently. The orthodontist was patient and made sure I understood the next steps before leaving.
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!!!
I have to say that this orthodontics is the best! My daughter encountered so many different dentists that wanted to slap braces on since the age of 10. This place, however, monitored her for an entire year up before deciding she was ready for braces and she was a sophomore in high school when she got them on. I'm so glad I was smart enough to know that she was not ready the first three times three different dentists said she needed braces.
Just got my braces off after jaw surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My orthodontist coordinated everything seamlessly between the surgical team and ongoing treatment, which made the whole process way less stressful than it could have been. The care and attention to detail throughout was excellent, and I love how my bite turned out. Highly recommend if you’re considering treatment or want to improve your smile! 😁
Our dentist at All Smiles recommended that we bring our daughter to Elite Orthodontics, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, which made the process easy to understand. I also appreciated that I was able to sit nearby during her appointments while they adjusted her braces. The staff was always friendly and did a great job making my daughter feel comfortable. They were also very organized and sent appointment reminders, which was really helpful. My daughter actually enjoyed going to her appointments, and now that her braces are off, she is so happy with her smile and the results. We are very thankful for the care she received and would definitely recommend Elite Orthodontics to other families! 😊
I got my braces done 14years ago, my teeth turned out amazing. I just went in recently to have my permanent retainer fixed (that I’ve had for 14yr years!!) Dr. Ehsani replaced the retainer, so I should be good for another 14yrs hopefully haha. He is great, thorough, and professional. Highly recommend
I stopped believing in the tooth fairy a long time ago but after my visit to elite orthodontics I have a sneaking suspicion that not only is the tooth fairy real but his name is Dr. Nader! I came in due to a permanent lower bottom retainer I've had for around 10 years that snapped and was exposed, I was expecting it to simply be re-glued but after speaking with the team at elite orthodontics and having my photographs taken. I was made aware of the issues with my retainer and the harm it was doing to my teeth, which I would have never even seen if it wasn't for their intake process. I was mortified to see the harm that was happening under my nose. Due to my current situation Dr. Nader offered to reinstall a brand new retainer for a lesser charge due to the fact he cared more about me leaving with a good retainer and having a healthy smile than making a profit. NEVER in my life have I encountered a medical office that was filled with dedicated professionals who not only cared deeply about their work but about their patients. Every single person I encountered was kind, dedicated and efficient. I received the best care of my entire life. They handled my dental care with a lot of patience and made sure that my gums were at a healthy place and prepared for the new installment, Dr. Nader himself went over my dental cleaning pre-application to ensure it would remain successfully. This was back in April 19th, it has now been almost a month and my retainer is in perfect shape. I have recommended every single one of my friends and family members to visit Elite Orthodontics and I urge anyone looking for a new office to come here. You won't regret it and you won't be in better care anywhere else! This was my first time at this office with this incredible team but it certainly won't be my last. I plan on returning to replace my upper retainer as well and have no doubt it will be another exceptionally pleasant experience. I seriously could not recommend this office more!!!
My Invisalign journey with Elite Orthodontist was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about my comfort and results. I couldn’t be happier with how my teeth turned out, they look beautiful and I truly love my smile now. Throughout the process, the team always took the time to listen and made sure I was happy with my progress, my bite, and the final result. Whenever I had an issue, like attachments coming off, they were quick to get me in and take care of it. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule made everything so much easier. Overall, the level of care and service I received was outstanding. I highly recommend Elite Orthodontist to anyone looking for a supportive team and amazing results!
I had an incredible experience with my braces treatment at Elite Orthodontics. Before starting, my teeth were very crooked, and it honestly affected my self-confidence more than I realized. I was always hesitant to smile in photos and felt self-conscious in conversations. Dr. Sabet was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She was professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to explain each step of my treatment plan and made sure I felt comfortable and informed at every visit. You can truly tell she cares about her patients and takes pride in delivering beautiful results. The entire team at Elite Orthodontics was friendly, organized, and welcoming, which made every appointment smooth and stress-free. Now that my treatment is complete, I can’t believe the transformation. My teeth are perfectly straight, my bite feels great, and most importantly, I feel so much more confident smiling. I’m beyond happy with my results and highly recommend Elite Orthodontics especially with Dr. Sabet to anyone considering braces.
