Not many people in my life understand the cyclical traumas I have had related to my dental journey…read more When I was a kid, I had the perfect smile, but that changed faster than I could have anticipated. Someone tripped me and it chipped my front left tooth. Fast forward to 2018, my ex fiancé hit me in the face with his motorcycle helmet. I wasn't a candidate for oral surgery, and my face shape started changing. My jaw started slipping and I didn't know where to properly rest my teeth in my own mouth. My jaw was constantly inflamed. My smile which was once my greatest asset had became a burden to look at myself in a mirror. I struggled to chew, talk, or yawn. I felt angry all the time. I did pt for 2 years and became frustrated. I did emdr for the trauma. I got an idea from a person I knew to get braces in TJ in 2023 June. I had high hopes it would finally help with my tmj issue because they said so. Treatment meant for one year turned into two and eventually, the trust was gone. They claim to have lost my medical records and panoramic xrays I shared with them. All hope felt lost until I spoke to my dentist about everything. I was then referred to elite orthodontics, from my dentist who had formerly worked with Dr. Ehsani. My first appointment here was for a consult back on February 24. It was fast, and pretty straightforward. I was offered financing options as well. They took panoramic X-rays, dental mapping with mouth wands, and close up inspections. I was torn about how much the price was because I wish I had just gone to Dr. Ehsani from the very start, but we live and we learn, right? Before coming to this office, I developed some tooth sensitivity which my dentist identified as pressure from improper positioning causing enamel wear. Those dentists in TJ recommended something that didn't help, and I used it consistently for a few months. The sensitivity came back (because previous treatment gave a temp fix), which lead me to seek professional advice from both Dr. Ehsani and Dr. Freda. I trust them both, and appreciate that I can always seek a second opinion from either of them. They make a great team, and I feel welcome here. Also if anyone got this far, you should know the banter between the hygienists is worth witnessing. I always come before lunch hour due to my home location near Carlsbad- yes, they're worth the drive. So, if you want to, go ahead and fix your smile. (I will update my review with photos when treatment has concluded).

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)

Although I am an adult complicated case due to a narrow palate and previous loss of multiple teeth with dental implants, there was zero empathy displayed by this office for my root resorption and continued tooth loss because I signed consent for possible risks. Most recently I had the new digital scanning technology to image a tooth that needed a touchup. The tech was visibly frustrated with the difficulty of scanning my teeth because of my gum recession and exclaimed loudly in front of a room of juvenile patients, their parents, and staff as the seats are lined up with no privacy "Ugh It's your teeth!" I was completely humiliated about a health condition that has caused me severe depression and significant anxiety. Staff are insensitive to adult dental conditions.

My daughter came in for her first appointment 6 weeks ago after complaining of tooth pain. They…read morescheduled us for a consultation, where they did X-rays, and told us she had a cavity that needed a silver cap. We came in for the procedure and he assured us that thankfully all her other teeth looked great, and after we discussed with the dr how to prevent a small cavity from turning into something this severe. He stated that a routine cleaning every 6 months could make the difference in catching something before it becomes this bad to need such a painful procedure. We then made an appointment for a cleaning in 6 months and asked if there was any follow up for this procedure and we were told no. On Monday my daughter complained about tooth pain on the opposite side of her mouth, and so I called to make an appointment. On the phone I was told she needed to schedule a first consultation and when I stated we had already been seen 6 weeks ago, the receptionist stated the first consultation we had was only to X-ray the tooth that was in pain. I then asked how the Dr could have told us all the other teeth looked great if they hadn't done X-rays on any other teeth, she left the phone and came back and said the Dr stated it was just a visual check and that cavities just pop up. Very concerned, and confused I asked why we were not told that our first consultation was not a first consultation and why we were never told to make that appointment. She stated they have a third party call center that makes appointments and it was a admin error. Concerned for my 4 year old I stated that because of this admin error we were told her other teeth were okay through what we assumed was an Xray, and not a "visual check" and that if we had known this 6 weeks ago we would have made the appropriate first consultation appointment immediately to prevent further pain and damage. She will now have to have a more extensive work done because of this error, and so I asked what we could have done differently and I was told to talk to the dentist about my concerns at the appointment. I then came in for my appointment today, and was told to sit and wait in the waiting room full of clients. A woman then came out and very publicly told me that because of the phone call the Dr would no longer comfortable treating my 4 year old. I asked her why I was not called ahead of time to cancel the appointment and she stated she did. I received no such call or message to either number on file, and was humiliated in front of my children and the entire office and waiting room. Another admin error? Needless to say I am very concerned for how this was handled and how they chose to deal with what THEY described as their admin error. She could have pulled me aside privately, or called and left a message to cancel but instead chose to humiliate me for what was described to me as an admin error. If you care about your kids read the other 1 star reviews and take your kids somewhere else for goodness sake. I was recommended here by a friend and after hearing about this they are also cancelling their appointments.

I deeply regret choosing Saint Orthodontics for my Invisalign treatment. Throughout the entire…read moreprocess, I experienced poor communication, administrative errors, and a general lack of professionalism and tact. The issues began immediately with insurance. The office staff provided incorrect information regarding my coverage, forcing me to handle insurance calls myself. They also delayed submitting necessary paperwork, claiming it "got lost in the mail." Additionally, after my insurance paid out in full, I had to follow up with the office down two months after my insurance companies already paid their part to receive my overpayment refund. I had some unfortunate experiences during my appointments. During an appointment--while payments were paused to sort out insurance--I was falsely accused in front of other patients of missing a payment, and staff offered a sarcastic "have a better day" on my way out. At another visit, an attachment application burned my lip, resulting in a blister, which staff completely denied causing, merely telling me to rinse my mouth. Finally, despite being guaranteed a Vivera retainer as part of my initial plan, I was given an inferior, poorly fitting "in-house" Essix retainer without my knowledge or consent. I was never given any options and I asked specifically at my first appointment if the costs included the permanent Invisalign retainer. There are apparent gaps in it and it's very uncomfortable. I also had a piece of plastic in my mouth when I first put it in. When I spoke directly to Dr. Sara (who founded this place) to address the lack of transparency, she dismissed the issue, stating the "owner" and manager would handle it later. Save yourself the frustration and find another orthodontist who values organization, transparency, and professionalism.
