Orthodontist in Frisco, TX
How Frisco families choose a board-certified, privately owned orthodontist, and the practice we recommend.
Orthodontic care in Frisco, made simple
Frisco has grown fast, and so has the number of offices advertising braces and aligners. This guide focuses on what actually protects your result: specialist training, real outcomes, and a practice that answers to patients, not a corporate quota.
Straightening teeth is a long-term investment in your bite, airway, and confidence, and treatment usually spans many months. The office you choose matters as much as the braces or aligners themselves. Below we explain your treatment options, how to evaluate a practice, and why we recommend Elate Orthodontics in Frisco. You can also compare privately owned specialists at TheOrthodontistNearMe.com.
Orthodontic treatments available in Frisco
Most healthy teeth can be straightened with more than one method. A specialist matches the option to your bite, age, and routine.
Clear Aligners
Removable, nearly invisible trays for teens and adults. Elate offers Angel Aligners and Invisalign, and Dr. Baharvand trains other orthodontists on clear aligner systems nationally.
Traditional Braces
Metal and self-ligating braces handle the widest range of cases, including complex corrections for kids and teens.
Clear Braces
Tooth-colored ceramic braces with the same power as metal, popular with image-conscious teens and adults.
Pediatric and Phase 1
Early evaluation and treatment guides jaw growth and creates room for adult teeth. The AAO recommends a first visit by age 7.
Palate Expanders
Expanders address crossbite, crowding, and airway concerns in growing children. Learn more at PalatalExpander.com.
Retainers
Custom retainers hold your new smile in place, backed by the Elate Retainer Assurance Program.
Why Frisco families trust Elate Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a long-term investment in your bite, airway, and confidence, so the right choice is about the specialist, not the lowest quote. Elate is led by two board-trained orthodontists whose credentials are rare in any market.
Dr. Kevin Baharvand DMD MS
Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a top graduate of Boston University, where he was inducted into four honor societies. He completed his residency at Jacksonville University, among fewer than five US residents to earn an orthodontics certificate alongside two master degrees at once. He serves on the editorial board of Orthotown Magazine, lectures nationally on clear aligners and practice management, and had a treated case featured on the cover of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, the most credited orthodontic journal in the world.
Dr. Julia Kang DMD
Holds two dental degrees from two countries, a distinction that is extraordinarily rare in orthodontics. She earned her first degree from Seoul National University, the most prestigious dental school in South Korea, completed a clinical externship at Harvard School of Dental Medicine, then earned her DMD at Boston University at the top of her class. During residency she was a national finalist for the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics Resident of the Year Award. Her precision, trained over years as a classical pianist, shapes how she designs every smile.

How to choose the right orthodontist
The right questions protect your results far more than the lowest quote. Run through these before you commit to any office.
- Confirm board certification.Ask whether the doctor is a board-certified orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, not a general dentist offering braces on the side.
- Choose privately owned over corporate.Family-owned practices offer continuity and accountability. You can search for a privately owned orthodontist near you at TheOrthodontistNearMe.com.
- Look at real results.Ask to see before-and-after photos for cases like yours. Elate keeps the largest public case gallery in DFW.
- Value experience and credentials.Published, peer-reviewed, nationally recognized clinicians plan for long-term bite and airway health, not just straight teeth.
- Check technology and continuity.Digital scanners, modern aligner planning, and seeing the same doctors at every visit all improve your outcome.
