I like it here and feel comfortable. They do a great job and very good customer service. Thanks!

Dr Liatti has been great in helping get my son thru process and keeping him accountable

Love Encinitas Ortho Team and Dr.Liatti!! I came to Dr.Liatti after getting many other opinions suggesting surgery because of my complicated ortho case as an adult. Dr.Liatti was honest and attentive since day one, allowing me to try Invisalign with my complex case. It's been a long journey but it worked and I couldn't be any happier. I'm more confident about my smile and my quality of life has increased drastically! Ortho can be challenging and time consuming but if you have realistic expectations (and wear your retainers) you will see life changing results. Thank you Encinitas Ortho and your amazing staff for always making me feel welcomed and making this journey so smooth. Special shoutout to Kathleen for being awesome! read more

I just finished my Invisalign treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Very pleasant staff! I would highly recommend.

We had the best experience with Dr. Liatti! My 7 year old had to get an expander and braces as his teeth were not growing in because there was just not enough room. Dr. Liatti and the whole office made it so easy for him and were so patient when his two siblings would join. Now my younger son is next! Highly recommend Encinitas Orthodontics. read more

Encinitas Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Encinitas, California

We consulted with multiple orthodontists before and after meeting Dr. Liatti. We live quite far (1 hour drive) but it was 100% the right decision. Each of our children have received personalized care and treatment plans. Airway concerns were top on my list and Dr. Liatti took the time to hear our concerns, answer in detail any questions we had and provide outstanding care for each of our kids. read more

Love this office, Dr. Liatti & the whole experience! I highly recommend!! Professional, experienced & great customer service (plus flexible to the needs of often sick kids & flexibility in moving appointments). read more

We've been through expansion and braces-received great care from Dr Liatti and his whole team :) would recommend

No informed consent prior to hundreds of X-rays taken of my brain, eyes, face and thyroid. This guy had a young assistant take higher powered CT X-rays radiating my radiosensitive eyes, brain, CNs & thyroid with hundreds of ionizing X-rays before I was even a patient of record, before any exam at all, before any in person history, discussion, dialogue etc. I did NOT want my brain eyes & thyroid radiated w/ hundreds of ionizing radiation images that day at my first orthodontic consult of at least 3. I ended up in scripps ER after that CBCT w/ horrible debilitating symptoms & pain. I just finished my second eye surgery because of all the inflammation & damage that CBCT without any informed consent caused. This guys ego is huge he had the nerve to say I was cutting into his lunch break at ~12:05 and I'd have to pay extra yet he can't provide any basic informed consent at all, history/exam etc before sending someone possibly unlicensed to radiate my eyes & brain like its some kind of benign BP check as you walk into the office? He destroyed my quality of life. The girl acted like she was going to just take a quick camera picture not hundreds of X-ray images of my eyes and brain. No other orthodontic office could use these as they said they only take 2 after doing an exam if the pt is ok w it. This guy doesn't care about protecting patients he cares about profit margins and isn't looking out for what's in the patients best interest in my experience. Hundreds of X-ray images with NO lead protection are very damaging causing DNA double- stranded breaks in exposed tissues incl the brain, eyes and thyroid also oxidative stress that damages cells plus inflaming tissues, a conversation about risks benefits alternatives and all questions answered by the dentist plus an exam legally NEEDS to happen BEFORE a consult person is radiated w/ this higher powered radiation. I did NOT want these radiosensitive structures radiated, it was NOT worth the risk for me. No other dental or orthodontic office in the past has ever taken any type of CT of me and not X-rays without explaining WHY they would like them, which gave me time to ask questions and opt out after asking questions and having a dialogue with the dentist. Most people don't know that dental offices even have CT X-rays that radiate the brain w/ hundreds of ionizing images at once. The last time I had orthodontics they did NOT take X-rays and my teeth came out perfect for many years. Skylar Liatti left my bite in worse shape then when I went in, he also told me to have another dentist add composite material where there was no room in the seated functional position which caused my front 3 teeth to burn and sting for 10-11 months straight after the chemicals went into the pulp chamber and then the material was ground off again due to there not being any room to add before orthodontics. I was stuck going to him bec otherwise I'd have to have 2 more X-rays somewhere else he left my front damaged teeth hitting first and my back teeth not touching at all which caused damage to my premolar roots and flared up front teeth pulpitis of which can't be rectified bec my bite is now screwed up. This place obviously doesn't follow basic CA dental safety protocols like an EXAM must be done BEFORE an RDA (if she's even licensed), I asked for the license and dose metrics of exactly how much radiation my eyes brain thyroid were exposed to but Skylar did not provide it as per CA law requires (within 15 days). Skylar obviously cares about dollar signs over patient safety. The other ortho consults I finally did months later did not rush me into any radiating X-rays even though they only take 2 X-rays not HUNDREDS of X-ray images at once. I did not sign for X-rays at that consult visit either as I had planned on doing a few consults to see whom I felt most comfortable with IF that was the next step for me. read more

If you have a kid that has to go the orthodontist this is the one for you. Everyone here is so friendly and Dr. Liatti really knows what he is doing. read more

3 of our 4 kids needed braces and all 3 came here. We researched and got free tours and consults elsewhere, but were attracted to Dr Liatti's smaller office with a more personal feel. Dr Liatti is very knowledgeable and up to date on current orthodontic care. The office had great payment plans. They easily worked us in when there was a minor dental emergency or for questions that I had. The staff is s friendly. Love this doctor and highly recommend! read more

I started Invisalign treatment 2 years ago with Encinitas Orthodontics and felt Dr. Liatti was a capable Orthodontist. I've since found out a lot of important information that anyone thinking of getting Orthodontics should know. Dr. Liatti is rated Gold. The Orthodontists I changed to is a Blue Diamond. The difference in length of treatment and just general personal treatment as well as expertise is so incredible different! The main difference is honesty. My own experience at this practice left me unsatisfied and I did not receive the Invisalign Retainers as paid for. There is not a lot of transparency and you have to be your own advocate to truly understand what Dr. Liatti is ordering for you. He admitted he "gives all his patient his own made in office retainers" at the end of treatment. These retainers are junk. They don't fit right, won't last as long because they aren't made from the same material as Invisalign retainers and are not as clear as the Invisalign retainers ( Vivera) which are the recommended retainers after Invisalign. Get on the Invisalign website and read up on everything J state here because it's all true. There is much more going on in my situation that Invisalign, my insurance Delta Dental and myself are investigating. But I can honestly say as a 7 year Elite Yelper, I found this practice to not meet the Standard that Invisalign is known for. And that is on Dr. Liatti, not Invisalign. read more

So cute look at the gift I got after my braces came off today! Love this place... 2 of my kiddos and now me have been coming here, this is the place for orthodontics! read more

Encinitas Orthodontics - Thank you for my gift and taking great care of me, I love my new smile! - Orthodontists Near Me - Encinitas, California

Best orthodontist, best staff, best everything. My son did 2 phases of braces; Dr Liatti was always responsive if a bracket or other ortho contraption broke after hours or over the weekend. Our son's smile is perfect after getting his last phase of braces off, we can't say enough great things about Encinitas Orthodontics! read more

Dr. Liatti is top notch. He runs a great business and has top of the line equipment. While I didn't end up going with him for braces, he was a top contender. Because he does affordable CBCT scans, I went back to his office for one. We got to talking and he inquired about why I didn't end up choosing him for orthodontics. We talked it over and turns out it was a miscommunication. Honestly, I am blown away by his willingness to understand and become a better provider. That openness is a rare talent in the world of doctors. He also revealed to me that he does MARPE/adult expansion, so if you're looking for a local doctor who does that, you should look into Dr. Liatti. read more

I came here for aligners. This place was recommended by my dentist. I compared this office to La Costa Ortho before making the leap. I liked how calm this office felt (maybe it's the music and lack of crowds) and the prices were better here. Plus, here they give you a warm cookie after each appointment :) This is a newer office, so some staff is still being trained, but everyone is friendly and helpful. read more

Both of my kids have been through their braces journey with encinitas ortho. Our experience has been fabulous. They are friendly, punctual, clean, and professional. Dr. Liatti is soooo friendly .... My son loves chatting with him. The office staff is always inviting, professional and friendly.

They are the best:)) read more

I did Invisalign with this group and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. They are incredibly thorough with new technology which ensures your revisions will be perfect! The staff is so amazing, it is an elite experience! Highly recommend read more

This was a great find, thanks to Yelp! I got a consultation for my daughter at her dentist office with their ortho because I thought it would be easy. Once I saw the estimate and was told I had to pay $3000 that same day, I said I wanted a second opinion. I went to my tried and true method of research...yelp. The office of Encinitas Orthodontics is serene and well appointed with an Encinitas vibe. The entire staff is so nice. The Doctor is easy to talk to and made my daughter feel comfortable. They gave me an awesome price, a succinct plan of care, and were very flexible with my payments. Don't hesitate, go here. read more

On a brace journey and I am 4 months in. Every time I walk into the office for a wire tightening, I feel the immediate warmth from Dr. Liatti and his assistants (Nate, Anna, etc). All of them have been personable, genuine, and down to earth folks. I've been blessed to have a great team who care not only about my teeth but about how their clients feel during and after visits. They offer a gift bag for dawning on your first aligners, they show consistency during emergencies such as fixing any broken brackets, they remember their clients by writing thank you cards, and they even have fresh chocolate chip cookies. It feels like a friend guiding you and making sure your brace adventure is a positive experience. A bonus plus: I was even offered to come in earlier if I want to change the colors of my bands for the holidays. Even though my teeth are not straight yet, they definitely will have me smiling behind my mask even more than before! I believe service goes a long way and they did more than that for the past 5 visits I had with them, thank you! read more

Dr. Liatti and his team are phenomenal! My initial appointment was complementary as I was able to sit down with Dr. liatti and talk to him about getting invisilgn. He took his time, answered all of my questions and even discussed an aftercare plan. I appreciated that the staff treated l me like a person and not just a number. Brittany also helped me with my payment plan. This is what made this experience different from the other clinics I was looking at when looking to get invisilgn Whenever I had a question the team responded back to me w/in the same day or the next day. The other staff are very personable. I always leave the office with a smile. The prices are affordable as well. I can't wait to continue my invisilgn treatment!

Got my braces and retainers through Encinitas orthodontics, great service! Always greeted me with a smile on their face and a warm welcome. Worked with me and my family through Covid when visits were difficult, and even fit me in same day when I accidentally broke off my lower brackets on my braces. Needless to say, highly recommend, got my braces off a year ago with perfect results read more

We absolutely love Dr. Chenard, and the entire staff, at Encinitas Orthodontics. They are all so patient, caring and friendly. My daughter was very nervous about her expander, about having braces put on her teeth, about getting them tightened - always consumed with "is this going to hurt?" Having a patient, caring staff there to calm her nerves and make her feel comfortable every step of the way is a huge asset. They also give back to the local community, and outside of it, doing work in Mexico and elsewhere. The heart of Dr. Chenard is huge, and we are so lucky to have partnered with him for our daughter's smile! read more

Kiddos love this orthodontist. They enjoy the cookies, socks and the orthodontist does a great job of explaining the treatment. 5 stars all the way around! read more
